AIR SUPPLY
The rivet tool is powered by compressed air at an optimum pressure of 5.5 bar (80 psi)
The use of a pressure regulator filter/lubricator unit within 3 meters of the tool is highly
recommended to extend the life of the tool.
Dirt and/or water in the air supply can seriously impact the performance and durability of
the tool; damage to the tool caused by contaminated air supply is not covered under
warranty

JAW CLEANING PROCEDURE /JAMMED GUN REMEDY
1. Disconnect tool from air supply
2. Leaving the nose piece attached, remove the nose case 3using the wrench provided by
loosening at the wrench point.
3. Fit two wrenches, one on Jaw Case 04 and the other on 08 keeping the nut 09 stationary
while unscrewing the jaw casing 04. It is important that you only unscrew the nut closest to
the jaws (jaw casing) 04. DO NUT ADJUST LOCKNUT 09.
4. Take care during removal as this jaw casing is spring loaded and contains 3 small jaws 05, a
jaw pusher 06, and a spring 07. Do not lose these pieces.
5. Once removed if a mandrel has jammed the tool, dislodge the mandrel from the jaws, discard
mandrel.
6. Clean Jaws 05 with a mineral spirit then and coat outside of jaws (outside only) with a light
layer of white lithium grease, red grease or one drop of hydraulic oil. Be sure to coat the
outside of the jaws only.
7. Replace jaws into jaw case 04.
8. Followed by jaw pusher 06, and spring 07, if necessary.
9. Re-apply jaw case 04 securely onto 08 using a wrench.
10. Reapply the nose case 03 securely to the tool
11. Reattach air supply. Actuate tool without rivet. Check Function.
12. Once comfortable, Apply Rivets.

MAINTENANCE
Oil Priming Procedure
After 100,000 cycles, or when the tool loses enough stroke and/or power to place rivets in one
actuation, a priming procedure may be required. Please use the oil provided with the tool.
Replacements are available at 1-800-BUY-RIVET.
Disconnect air supply to tool and switch ON/OFF valve(48) to OFF position.
Remove bleed screw(70) and seal(69).(see Fig 3)
Fill the syringe(priming pump) with oil and screw it into the bleed screw hole. Actuate the
pump be pressing down and releasing several times until resistance is felt. Overfilling the
tool with oil and actuating it may result in hydraulic body fractures. (see Fig 4)
Remove the priming pump and the excessive oil will flow out. Then clean out the excessive oil
and replace the bleed screw and seal.
IMPORTANT: DISCONNECT THE TOOL FROM THE AIR SUPPLY OR SWITCH OFF AT VALVE (55).
REMOVE NOSE ASSEMBLY OR SWIVEL HEAD COMPONENTS. All operations should be carried out on
a clean bench, with clean hands in a clean area. Ensure that the new oil is perfectly clean and free
from air bubbles. Care MUST be taken at all times, to ensure that no foreign matter enters the tool,
or serious damage may result.
Valve Spool Assembly
Send into authorized repair center for service.
Trigger
Inspect trigger pin valve by insuring 33 has not come loose. The proper depth should be just
under the valve stem.
If adjustment is necessary using a fork wrench or tire valve tool, screw the trigger pin 33 into
the valve stem. A very small amount of loctite243 is ok around the threaded portion only.
If the trigger still fails, remove the trigger pin assembly from the valve stem and inspect the
seal around the trigger pin for damage. If damaged, purchase a replacement part. Re-
assemble according to the previous step.

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
In order to maintain the tool in a safe working order it is important to carry out regular maintenance
as prescribed by the manufacturer. A thorough inspection replacement of all seals within the tool
should be carried out after 500,000 placings or annually, whichever is the sooner. Item numbers in
parentheses refer to assembly drawing part numbers
Daily
Check for air leaks. Any damaged hoses should be replaced
Lubricate the tool by pouring a 1 drop of light lubricating oil into the air inlet on the tool
If there is no pressure regulator, bleed the airline to clear it of accumulated dirt or water
before connecting the air hose to the tool. If there is a filter, drain it.
Check for proper nose piece use depending on the size of the rivet.
Remove front jaw nose assembly and inspect for cracks or other damage to front and rear of
the nose piece. Replace if necessary.
Insure that rotary valve for the vacuum on the mandrel collection unit is correctly adjusted
for fastener retention
Weekly
Carry out procedures as per daily maintenance instructions above
Clean and inspect the jaws for signs of damage or wear (groove running through the jaw
serrations). Follow the instructions on page 4 for cleaning of jaws. Reassemble the tail jaws
with a light coating of grease on the outer face that contacts the jaw housing. Do not allow
grease to contaminate the grooved inner face of the jaws as mandrel slippage may result.
Monthly
Carry out procedures as per daily maintenance instructions above
Check and replace cylinder bodies if there are signs of damage or cracks.

OIL MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET (MSDS)
Priming is ALWAYS necessary after the tool has been dismantled and prior to operating. It may also
be necessary to restore the full stroke after considerable use, when the stroke may be reduced and
fasteners are not fully placed by one operation of the trigger
Oil Details
The recommended oil for priming is Mobil DTE 24 or Hyspin VG32 available in 0.51 or one gallon
containers, or, you can use 30W hydraulic oil. Please see safety data below.
