General Safety Warnings
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result
in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
1) Work Area
a. Keep the work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas increase the risks of electric shock, fire, and
injury to persons.
b. Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating the tool. Distractions can result in the loss of control of
the tool.
c. Keep children and bystanders away while operating any powered products. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2) Personal Safety
a. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating the tool. Do not use the tool while tired or
under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating the tool increases the risk of
injury to persons.
b. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Contain long hair. Keep hair, clothing, and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery, or long hair increases the risk of injury to persons as a result of being caught in
moving parts.
c. Avoid unintentional starting. Be sure the trigger is not depressed before connecting to the air supply. Do not carry the tool
with your finger on the trigger or connect the tool to the air supply with the trigger on.
d. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches before turning the tool on. A wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of
the tool increases the risk of personal injury.
e. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance enables better control of the
tool in unexpected situations.
f. Use safety equipment. A dust mask, non-skid safety shoes and a hard hat must be used for the applicable conditions. Wear
heavy-duty work gloves during use.
g. Use eyeand hearing protection. Wear ANSI approved safety impact goggles, hearing protection, and heavy-duty work gloves when
using this Riveter. Other people inthe workarea must also wear appropriate ANSI approved safety equipment.
h. Always wear hearing protection when using the tool. Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise can contribute to
hearing loss.
3) Tool Use andCare
a. Use clamps or other practical ways to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or
against the body is unstable and can lead to loss of control.
b. Do not force the tool. Use the correct tool for the application. The correct tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for
which the tool is designed.
c. Do not use the tool if the trigger does not turn the tool on or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the trigger is
dangerous and must be repaired, by an authorised repair agent.
d. Disconnect the tool from the air source before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such
preventative safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool unintentionally. Turn off and detach the air supply, safely
discharge any residual air pressure, and release the throttle and/or turn the switch to its off position before leaving the
work area.
e. Store idle tool out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the tool or these instructions to
operate the tool. Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
f. Maintain the tool with care. A properly maintained tool is easier to control.
g. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that affects the tool’s
operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before using, at an authorised Kincrome repair agent. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained tools.
h. Use only accessories that are identified by the manufacturer for the specific tool model. Use of an accessory not intended
for use with the specific tool model, increases the risk of injury to persons.

3
4) Service
a. Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel.
b. When servicinga tool, use only identical replacement parts. Use only authorized parts.
c. Use only the lubricants specified by the manufacturer.
5) Additional Safety Warnings
a. The warnings and precautions discussed in this manual cannot cover all possible conditions and situations that may
occur. It must be understood by the operator that common sense and caution are factors which cannot be built into this
product, but must be supplied by the operator.
b. Only use with accessories rated to handle the forces exerted by this tool during operation. Other accessories not
designed for the forces generated may break and forcefully launch pieces.
c. Attach all accessories properly to the tool before connecting the air supply. A loose accessory may detach or
break during operation.
d. Use the right tool for the job. Do not attempt to force a small tool or attachment to do the work of a larger industrial
tool. There are certain applications for which this tool was designed. Do not modify this tool, and do not use this tool for a
purpose for which it was not intended. Normal use of this product is likely to expose the user to dust and /or microscopic
particles containing chemicals known to (the State of California) cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Always wear appropriate safety equipment and clothing when using this product. Study, understand and follow all
instructions provided with this product.
e. Anyone using vibrating tools regularly, or for an extended period should first be examined by a doctor and then have
regular medical check-ups to ensure medical problems are not being caused or worsened from use. Pregnant women
or people who have impaired blood circulation to the hand, past hand injuries, nervous system disorders, diabetes, or
Raynaud’s Disease should not use this tool. If you feel any symptoms related to vibration (such as tingling, numbness, and
white or blue fingers), immediately discontinue use and seek medical advice as soon as possible.
f. Do not smoke during use. Nicotine reduces the blood supply to the hands and fingers, increasing the riskof vibration-related injury.
g. Wear suitable gloves to reduce the vibration effects on the user.
WARNING! Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities,
contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these
chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement or other masonry products
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure
to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust
masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
6) Additional Safety Instructions for Air Nut Riveters
a) Stay within air pressure capacity. Do notoperate the Air Nut Riveter above 90 psi.
b) Do not use the tool outside of the designed intent.
c) Fire the Riv-Nuts into an appropriate work surface only. This Air Nut Riveter is designed for use on metal objects only, and is
not suitable for soft surfaces.
d) Do not fire the Riv-Nuts too close to the edge of a workpiece. They may split the workpiece and cause it to fly free, causing
personalinjury.
