•The tool must not be used in a different manner than that recommended by the manufacturer
•Any alterations of the tool, its accessories or spare parts remain in sole responsibility of the customer.
After agreement, the manufacturer provide technical support in designing and making additional alterations.

•The tool must be kept in top condition and regularly tested for damage and proper operation. The
tool must be repaired only by an authorized technician or by a person trained by the manufacturer or
supplier. Should you have any demand for training, please contact your sales agent.

•The tool must always be operated in accordance with respective sanitary and safety regulations.

•All queries regarding proper and safe operation of the tool should be addressed to your sales agent.

•Safety principles that must be adhered to in connection with operation of this tool must be known to
all workers who operate the tool.

•When handling the tool take extra care to avoid unwanted activation and possible injury.

•The tool must be during any kind of maintenance or repair (does not apply to replacing nose-pieces
and emptying the mandrel container) disconnected from the source of compressed air.

•Before operating the tool always take up firm posture and steady position.
•It is necessary to prevent break-away shanks endangering safe operation of the tool.

•Never aim with the tool at another person.

•Always check that the vent holes are not blocked or covered and that the supply hose are in good condition.

•Working pressure must not exceed 0,7 MPa.

•Oxygen or other flammable gasses from pressure cylinders must not serve as a driving agent.

•When operating the tool it is recommended to use safety glasses and utility gloves.

•If the continuous cycle of riveting exceeds 8 hours per day, it is recommended that the operators use
ear protectors.

•When working with the tool the operator must not have loose parts of wear as e.g. a tie, long hair, jewelry
etc. to avoid getting caught by the tool.

•Same safety instructions apply for persons standing close to the tool.

•Avoid unnecessary contact with the hydraulic fluid to prevent possible allergy reaction of the skin.

•The tool is equipped with permanent magnet; the magnetic pole may influence electronic and even
some mechanic machines. So it is necessary to warn about the possibility of the influence on the operation
of electronic implants (e.g. pacemakers, insulin pumps etc.) with potential fatal effect for the users
of these implants. The magnetic pole may also damage information on magnetic appliances (audio and
video cassettes, diskettes, credit cards etc.) and it can destroy the forever. While using (and storing) the
tool, please, keep distance with these sensitive appliances, in this case 0,5 m is considered as the save

2.3 Range of usage
The pneumatic-hydraulic tool is designed for riveting with:
rivet nuts 5/16-18’’~1/2-13’’ / M8-M12
rivet bolts ¼-20’’~5/16-18’’ / M6~M8 (steel)
2.4. Tool operation
The manufacturer equipped the tool with a anvil and mandrel for rivet nuts __. For riveting
of rivets with a different dimension, it is necessary to exchange the anvil and mandrel and
change basic set up and regulation of the tool as following:
1) Loosen the counter-nut of the anvil
2) Screw out the anvil from the front nozzle
3) Screw out the mandrel from the sleeve
4) Choose appropriate anvil and mandrel, see the following chart:
5) Screw the mandrel on to the sleeve (to the backstop) and then turn it back, so that the flats of
the hexagons of the screw-plug gauge and sleeve are matching.
6) Slide on the anvil to the hexagons of the mandrel and sleeve.
7) Screw on the anvil to the front nozzle.
8) Set-up the anvil:
for rivet nuts
the rivet nut is screwed on the whole length of the thread on the mandrel and the front of the
rivet nut leans on the anvil. Fasten the position of the anvil with a counternut.
for rivet bolts
set-up the anvil so that there is a cca 1 mm space between the outer side of the rivet
bolt and inner side of the anvil. do it as following: screw on the anvil to the backstop to the
mandrel and then screw it back one or two turns. Fasten the position of the anvil with a
counternut.
9) basic stroke set-up as following (does not apply for all types of rivet nuts):

6
10) Adjust revolving air supply into any required position and connect the tool to the source of
the compressed air.
11) Put the rivet on the mandrel and push towards the anvil, this will screw on the rivet.
12) Put the screwed rivet into the prepared hole.
13) Press the trigger and the rivet will be riveted in.
14) Relieve the trigger, the mandrel will screw out from the rivet (if it is not fully screwed out, use
the unscrewing button).
15) Check the fastened rivet
- if the rivet is not fully fastened it is necessary to increase the stroke.
- if the rivet is too fastened, which results in deformation of the rivet and the mandrel is hard
to unscrew out from the rivet, it is necessary to decrease the stroke.
16) Check the setting-up of the anvil according to the step 8).
The tool, which is set up a prepared this way is ready for riveting.

3.TOOLMAINTENANCE
Duringmaintenancethetoolmustbedisconnectedfromthesourceofcompressedair!!!

3.1.Dailymaintenance
Daily, before starting work, apply a drop of lubricating oil (we recommend hydraulic oil MOBIL
DTE32) into the air inlet of the tool, on condition there is no lubricating device
connected in the air distribution.
Check the tool for air leakage, if necessary replace damaged hoses and clasps.
If the pressure regulator is not equipped with a filter, blow through the air hose before its
connection to the tool in order to get rid of impurities and water. If the pressure regulator has a
filter, dry it out.
Check whether the fixed nose-piece corresponds to the BR diameter and that all screw threads
and joints are tightened properly.
Check whether the air outlets are really empty.

3.2.Weeklymaintenance
Cleaning of the tool and replacement of worn or non-functional parts.
Unscrew the anvil and mandrel according to the chapter 2.4., point 1) to 3) and clean them
thoroughly.
Visually check - especially the mandrel, anvil and front nozzle - if worn or damaged, replace
them.
Dismounted parts should be reinstalled according to the chapter 2.4., points 5) to 7) including
setting up according to the point 8).

3.3.Generalmaintenance
General maintenance should be performed after about 500 000 strokes or once every three
years. The tool must be completely disassembled and all seals and worn parts must be replaced.
This repair may be carried out by an authorized technician only or a person trained by the
manufacturer or supplier.
