OPERATING RIVEDRILL IN CORNERS

When applying rivets it is important to ensure that the mandrel is completely inside the nose piece of
RiveDrill. This is especially important when applying rivets in corners or tight areas where it is not possible to
keep RiveDrill perpendicular to the workpiece. Following this procedure will ensure the longevity of the jaws.
Failure to do so may cause damage to the jaws.
OPERATING RIVEDRILL
Set your drill to1.
reverse rotation.
Depress the trigger
switch until you hear
a ‘clicking’ sound
from the RiveDrill.
Insert a rivet into the2.
nose piece, ensuring
that the size of the
rivet matches the size
of the nose piece.
Do not force rivet
into RiveDrill as this
could cause damage.
Set your drill to3.
forward rotation (low
speed). Insert the
rivet fully into your
workpiece. Apply
firm pressure to the
drill and depress the
trigger switch until
the rivet pops.
To remove the4.
rivet’s mandrel from
the RiveDrill, set
your drill to reverse
rotation and depress
the trigger switch
until the mandrel is
released from the
nose piece.
Caution: The external sleeve should be held during operation of RiveDrill. It is designed
for protection against the rotating chuck when operating RiveDrill and should cover the
chuck at all times.
MAINTENANCE & CLEANING

deposited.
