Introduction
The PNT1000L-PC is a lightweight tool for installing POP®brand POP NUT™ blind rivet nuts and other blind
threaded inserts by adjusting the setting force to the insert being installed rather than stroke like traditional
blind rivet nut tools. Controlling the setting force has the following benefits:
No stroke adjustment is needed for the same nut in multiple application grips.
Eliminated application & nut damage due to “double stroking”.
Proper set achieved even with a small gap between the nut flange and Nosepiece.
Table 1 lists the POP NUT™ blind rivet nuts that can be fastened using this tool. The Nosepiece and Mandrel
must be changed to fit some sizes of POP NUT™. (See Table 5, Mandrel and Nosepiece Requirements table
in the Specification section)

Tool Setup
Initial Setup
1. Check that the correct Nosepiece and Mandrel are fitted for the POP NUT™. 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 NPT
thread.
3. Connect an Air Hose to the tool.
4. Connect an air filter, regulator and lubricator in the air line between the air supply and Air Hose
connecting to the tool, 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)

lubrication oils to use relating to air motors.
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.

Mandrel and Nosepiece installation
Mandrel Installation (with POP NUT™ Mandrel Release, DPN277-185)
1. Disconnect the Air Supply
2. Select the correct Mandrel according to Table 5.
3. Remove the Nosepiece from the tool by loosening the Lock Nut and unscrewing it (Figure 4).
4. Insert the POP NUT™ Mandrel Release tool over the Mandrel and into the Nose Housing.
5. Push Mandrel Release into the tool in order to disengage the Lock Pin Holder from the Mandrel.
6. While holding the Mandrel Release in, unscrew the Mandrel by turning it counter-clockwise.
7. While holding the Mandrel Release in, screw in the desired Mandrel until it stops.
8. Release the Mandrel Release and rotate the Mandrel counter-clockwise to ensure the Lock Pin
Holder has engaged the Mandrel.
9. Replace the Nosepiece.

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 Mandrel and Nosepiece Requirements table in the Specifications section).
Nosepiece/Anvil
Lock Nut
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.

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.*

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.

*Disengaging the tool from the insert
WARNING!
If you let go of the trigger during the installation sequence, the insert may not set completely, the
hydraulics will reset and the tool will not automatically 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 Force Adjustment
Verify the proper Valve Spring is selected – See “Setting Force Valve Spring Selection“
Adjust the setting force 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 force is critical:
oLow setting Force results in insufficient stroke and clamping of the insert, leading to a
Spin Out failure in the application
oHigh setting force results in excess stroke and possible insert threads stripping and
Mandrel damage
Adjustment for Standard POP NUTs™
Use the following procedure to determine the proper setting requirments for the SPH, SFH, APH, AFH,
SPS, SFS, APS, AFS & SRH Series of POP NUTs™:
1. Determine minimum stroke, “SMin”, from the appropriate formula in the table 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.
Table 8: Stroke Formula for Standard POP NUTs™
Thread Size Stroke (SMin) Formula
M6X1.0 2.4+(N-t)-0.4
M8X1.25 RLT 2.4+(N-t)-0.4
M8X1.25 2.8+(N-t)-0.4
M10X1.5 3.0+(N-t)-0.4
M12X1.75 3.2+(N-t)-0.4

Adjustment for ST & Thin Wall POP NUTs™
Use the following procedure to determine the proper setting requirements for the ST, TK, TL, TH Series
of POP NUTs™:
1. Determine the Installed Length, “IL” of the POP NUT™ being used. This information can be
found in the Emhart POP NUT™ Blind Rivet Nut catalog.
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

Adjustment of Setting Force
The following is the procedure for adjusting the Setting Force:
1. Loosen Socket Set Screw on Setting Force Control Valve.
2. Turn the Adjuster using a flat blade screwdriver as needed.
a. Adjust Setting force by 1/4 turn increments to prevent stripping or damaging of insert
threads.
3. Tighten Socket Set Screw on Setting Force Control Valve.

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)]
Multiple work piece thicknesses
oWhen using the POP NUT™ tool to set the same insert in multiple work piece
thicknesses, adjust the setting force to accommodate the thinnest work piece.
WARNING!
Adjust Fastening Load Control Valve by 1/4 rotations.
If the Adjuster is rotated clockwise by a large amount to increase the setting force it may cause stripping
or sticking of Mandrel and/or POP NUT™ threads.
