Tool Setup
Initial Setup
1. Check that the correct Nosepiece and Mandrel are fitted for the POP NUT™ to be installed. See
the Basic Tool Operation section for proper tool adjustment.
2. Connect an air fitting to the Swivel Air Fitting of the tool. The Swivel Air Fitting is a 1/4 NPTF
thread.
3. Connect an Air Hose to the tool.
4. Connect an air filter, regulator and lubricator inline with the air supply, between the Air Supply and
the Air Hose, within 3m [6 ft ] of the tool.
5. Adjust the air pressure supply and oil drip volume of the lubricator
•Air Pressure: 0.5-0.6 MPa. (72.5-87 psi)
•Oil drip volume: 1-2 drops/ 20 nuts fastened
Figure 3: Tool Setup
Note: Refer to the instruction manual for the Lubricator used for the proper adjustment method and
lubrication oils to use relating to air motors.
Note: the tool may be manually lubricated if an oil lubricator is not available.
WARNING!
Use an air hose with a rating of 1.0 MPa (145 psi / 10 bar) or greater, maximum ordinary operating
pressure. Also make sure the hose material is suitable for the operating environment (i.e. oil proof, wear
and abrasion resistance etc.). For details, refer to your hose manufacturer's catalog.

Basic Tool Operation
Before setting POP NUTs™ with this tool, refer to the Safety Instructions and Tool Setup sections
of this manual to ensure safe and reliable tool operation.
Mandrel & Nosepiece Adjustment
1. Verify that the correct Mandrel and Nosepiece are fitted to the tool for the desired POP NUT™
(See Table 5, Mandrel and Nosepiece Requirements table in the Specifications section).
Figure 6: Nosepiece and Lock Nut
2. Loosen the lock nut on the tool and thread the Nosepiece all the way into the Nose Housing.
3. Thread the desired POP NUT™ onto the tool.
Open End POP NUTs™
a. Thread the insert onto the mandrel until the Mandrel extends beyond the insert by
approximately 1 full thread
b. Unthread the Nosepiece until it is touching the flange of the insert
c. Tighten the lock nut against the Nose Housing.
Closed End POP NUTs™
a. Thread the insert onto the mandrel until it stops
b. Unthread the insert on full turn (one thread pitch)
c. Unthread the Nosepiece until it is touching the flange of the insert
d. Tighten the lock nut against the Nose Housing.

Tool Operation
Loading the POP NUT™ onto the tool
1. Connect the air supply to the tool.
2. Thread the insert 1/4 turn onto the Mandrel.
3. Press the insert against the Mandrel as indicated and the Mandrel will spin, automatically
threading the insert onto the Mandrel.
4. Keep pushing the insert onto the Mandrel until the Mandrel stops spinning. If the insert is not
fully threaded, the setting stroke will be shortened by the gap between the head of the insert and
the Nosepiece.
Figure 8: Loading the POP NUT™ onto tool
Installing the POP NUT™ into the work piece
1. With the POP NUT™ mounted on the Mandrel, insert it perpendicularly into the hole of the work
piece
2. Pull the trigger and hold it to install the insert
3. Keep trigger depressed until the Mandrel reverses direction and completely unthreads the
Mandrel from the insert.
4. Lightly pull the tool away from the work piece as Mandrel is reversing to disengage it from the
insert.
5. Once the tool is disengaged from the insert, release the trigger.*
Figure 9: Setting the POP NUT™
Note:
•Fit the flange of the insert flat against the work piece.
•Do not tilt the tool. The tool must be perpendicular to the work piece.

Figure 10: Proper insertion of POP NUT™ threaded inserts into an application
*Disengaging the tool from the insert
•If you let go of the trigger during the installation sequence, the hydraulics will reset, the insert may
not set completely and the tool will not unthread from the insert. Do not pull the trigger again,
follow the steps below to disengage the insert.
To disengage the tool from the insert and application:
1. Depress and hold the Control Knob
2. While holding the Control Knob, press and hold the trigger. This will cause the Mandrel to spin
counter-clockwise and unthread the insert.
3. When fully unthreaded, release the trigger.
To disengage the tool from the insert and work piece if the Mandrel is stuck:
1. Disconnect the air supply
2. Thread the M4 x20 Cap screw provided with the tool, into the hole in the side of the Nose
Housing. Thread the Cap screw in until if fits snugly against the inner Spin Pull Head, locking
the rotatioin of the Mandrel to the tool.
3. Turn the body of the tool counter-clockwise to detach it from the insert.

Setting Tool Stroke
•Adjust the stroke of the tool according to insert size and thickness of work piece as indicated in
the instructions below.
•Test 5 pieces before beginning production work to ensure proper setting of the POP NUT™.
•Proper setting stroke is critical:
oInsufficient setting stroke results in insufficient clamping of the insert, leading to a Spin
Out failure in the application
oToo much setting stroke results in possible insert threads stripping and Mandrel damage
Stroke Adjustment
1. Loosen the M3 Lock Screw on the Control Nut using a 1.5mm Hex Wrench.
2. Set Stroke to the value of “E” as determined by the stroke formula below or from the POP NUT
charts.
3. Adjust the stroke by turning the Control Knob (¼turn ~ 0.2mm)
a. Clockwise to decrease stroke
b. Counter-clockwise to increase stroke
4. Tighten the Lock Screw
5. Set a POP NUT and measure the “E” dimension.
6. Adjust the stroke to “E” +/-0.1mm
7. Set a POP NUT in a test piece with the desired thickness
and verify that the stroke is between SMin and SMax.
8. Re-adjust stroke as necessary.
IF…
THEN…
E (Measured) < E (Formula)
Increase stroke – See “Stroke Adjustment”

Stroke Setting for Standard POP NUTs™
Use the following procedure to determine the proper setting requirments for POP NUTs™:
1. Determine stroke minimum, “SMin”, maximum, “SMax”, and stroke setting, “E”, from the appropriate
formula in Table 6 for the POP NUT™ being used.
2. Set the insert in a test piece with the proper thickness
3. Measure the value of SMin and compare to the formula result.

Stroke Setting for ST & Thin Wall POP NUTs™
Use the following procedure to determine the proper setting requirements for TK, TL, TH ST Series of
POP NUTs™:
1. Determine the Installed Length, “IL” of the POP NUT™ being used. This information can be
found in the POP NUT™ Blind Rivet Nut catalog (North America).
2. Set the insert in a test piece with the proper thickness
3. Measure the IL value after insertion and compare to the desired value
Figure 12: “IL” Measurement
IF…
THEN…
IL (Measured) > IL (Desired)
Increase stroke – See “Stroke Adjustment”
IL (Measured) < IL (Desired)
Check POP NUT threads and Mandrel for damage
Reduce stroke – See “Stroke Adjustment”
Note:
•The stoke may increase or decrease due to changes in air pressure [~0.1 mm (0.004 in) per 0.1
MPa (15 psi)]
WARNING!
Adjust stroke Control Knob by 1/4 rotations.
If the Control Knob is rotated counter-clockwise by a large amount to increase the stroke, it may cause
stripping or sticking of Mandrel and/or POP NUT™ threads.
