■ Do not bend tool to free if stuck.
■ Tool should only be used to install fasteners.
■ NEVER use as a jack/spreader or hammer.
TO INSTALL A BobTail®FASTENER:
1. Check work and remove excessive gap. (Gap is
the space between sheets. Gap is excessive if not
enough pintail sticks through the collar for the nose
assembly puller to grab onto).
2. Put BobTail pin in hole.
3. Slide BobTail collar over pin. (The anged end of the
collar must be towards the pieces being fastened.)
4. Push nose assembly onto the pin until the nose
assembly puller stops against the pin. Tool and nose
assembly must be held at right angles (90 degrees)
to the work.
5. Depress tool trigger to start installation cycle.
6. When forward motion of nose assembly anvil stops,
release trigger. Tool will go into its return stroke and
push off the installed fastener.
7. The tool and nose assembly are ready for the
next installation cycle.
operatIng InstruCtIons
For safe operation. Please read completely
CAUTION: Remove excess gap from between
the sheets. This permits enough pintail

size (AS568- number); material; durometer.
PreventIve MaIntenance
System Inspection
Operang eciency of the tool is directly related to
the performance of the complete system, including the
tool with nose assembly, hydraulic hoses, trigger and
control cord, and POWERIG. Therefore, an eecve
prevenve maintenance program includes scheduled
inspecons of the system to detect and correct minor
troubles. At the beginning of each shi/day:
• Inspect tool and nose assembly for external damage.
• Verify that hydraulic hose ttings, couplings, and
electrical connections are secure.
• Inspect hydraulic hoses for damage and deterioration.
Do not use hoses to carry tool. Replace hoses if
damaged.
• Observe tool, hoses, and hydraulic unit during
operation to detect abnormal heating, leaks, or
vibration.
• Max hydraulic uid contamination level: NAS 1638
class 9, or ISO CODE 18/15, or SAE level 6.
Powerig Maintenance
Maintenance instructions and repair procedures are
in the appropriate POWERIG Instruction Manual.
Tool Maintenance
Whenever disassembled and also at regular intervals
(depending on severity and length of use), replace
