1. Be sure air is in "OFF" position when connecting tool to air supply.
2. Always wear approved eye protection when using air tools. If raising dust, wear a
suitable mask.
WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities, contain chemicals known [to
the State of California] to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
1. Lead from lead-based paints;
2. Crystalline silica from bricks and cement or other masonry products;
3. 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.
3. Use only those accessories that are designed for use with air tools. For example, with
impact wrenches do not use ordinary sockets. Use impact sockets for all- air tools.
4. Be sure to disconnect tool from air supply before changing accessories, performing
service on tool and when not in use.
5. As with any tool, use common sense when operating. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry that could become caught by moving parts, causing injury. Operate tool a safe
distance from yourself and others in the work area.
6. To ensure long life of the air tool be sure to oil the tool daily before using. See below
for instructions.
7. Follow air source manufacturers directions for connection of regulators, filters, and
other accessories to air source. Do not install quick couplers directly on tool as they
put unnecessary strain on the air inlet threads possibly causing them to wear out
prematurely. Instead, install them on a short length of air hose attached to the tool.
8. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Do not reach over or
across running tools or air hoses.
9. Disconnect air hose and release any built-up air pressure. Do not service the tool or
disassemble it with the air hose attached. Verify that there is no residual air pressure
even after disconnecting hose. Disconnect the Riveter when not in use.
10. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not operate any tool
when you are tired.
11. Check for damaged parts. Before using any tool, any part that appears damaged
should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its
intended function. Check for alignment and binding of moving parts, any broken
parts, and any other condition that may affect proper operation. Any part that is
damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by a qualified technician. Do not
use the tool if the Trigger does not operate properly.
12. Do not operate tool if under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
13. Do not use combustible gas as a power source.
14. Avoid working alone. If an accident happens, an assistant can bring help.
WARNING! The warnings, cautions, and instructions discussed in this instruction 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

TROUBLESHOOTING

Clean air of correct air pressure is recommended for the power supply for this tool. A
maximum of 90 PSI at the tool is recommended for most air tools of this class. Check
specifications section for recommended pressure. (Depending on length of air hose and
other circumstances, air pressure at compressor may need to be increased to 100 PSI to
ensure 90 PSI at the tool.)
Water in the air hose and compressor tank contributes to reduced performance and
damage of the air tool. Drain the air tank and filters before each use and as necessary to
keep the air supply dry.
Hose length over 25’ causes loss in line pressure. Increase hose I.D. or increase
compressor pressure to compensate for the pressure loss. Use an in-line pressure
regulator with gauge if air inlet pressure is critical.
AIR SOURCE
SPECIFIC SAFETY INFORMATION
1. Check that adjusting wrenches are removed from the tool and work surface before
attaching to an air source.
2. Avoid unintentional starting. Be sure the Trigger is in the OFF position when not in use.
Do not carry any tool with your finger on the Trigger, whether it is attached to an air
source or not. Do not point the tool towards yourself or anyone.
3. Fire the Rivets into an appropriate work surface only. This Riveter is designed for use
on metal objects only and is not suitable for soft surfaces.
4. Do not fire the Rivets too close to the edge of a workpiece. They may split the
workpiece and cause it to fly free, causing personal injury.
5. Transport the Riveter safely. Disconnect the air supply when moving the tool in the
workplace. Carry the tool by the handle and avoid contact with the Trigger.
6. Attach the Safety Cap to the Riveter before use. Turn the slot in the Safety Cap
upward to avoid spilling used Rivet Pins.
Oil tool before each use. 4 to 5 drops of a good grade Air Tool Oil placed in the air inlet
is sufficient. Use proper air pressure and CFM rating listed for this tool.
Drain water from hoses and compressor tank. Water in the air supply line will cause
gumming and loss of power. Clean the air filter on the supply line and flush the tool with
gum solvent or a 50/50 mix of air tool oil and kerosene. It may be necessary to
disassemble the tool to properly clean and re-lubricate.

a. Unscrew and remove the Frame Head using the
Spanner.
b. Use the Spanner to unscrew and remove the Jaw
Cases. Use care as there is a Spring behind the Jaw Case which may fly out.
c. Remove the Jaws from between the Jaw Cases.
d. If you are going to clean the Jaws, use a steel brush and mild solvent. Then apply a
light coat of machine oil to the Jaws. If you are going to replace the Jaws, the
entire assembly must be replaced at the same time due to the possibility of
additional parts being damaged when the Jaws were damaged.
e. Insert the Jaws back into the Jaw Cases.
f. When reassembling the Jaw Cases, make sure the wedge on the Jaw Pusher’s
head lines up in between the Jaws, pushing them slightly apart.
g. Check the distance from the head of the Jaw Cases to the mounting threads of the
Frame Head using the gauge on the Spanner. With the gauge at a slight incline, the
back of the gauge should rest on the beginning of the Frame Head threads, while
the front of the gauge should rest on the front edge of the Jaw Case. If it does not,
tighten/loosen the Jaw Cases until the distance is corrected. (See below.)
