Fully actuate the rocker trigger. The top button will spin the rivetnut onto the mandrel and
install the rivetnut into the workpiece. The lower button will spin the rivetnut off the
mandrel.
JAMMED GUN REMEDY
1. Disconnect tool from air supply
2. Remove Nose Piece
3. Replace Mandrel if Necessary
4. Reapply the nose case securely to the tool
5. Reattach air supply. Actuate tool without rivet. Check Function.
6. Once comfortable, Apply Rivets nuts.
AIR SUPPLY
The rivet tool is powered by compressed air at an optimum pressure of 5.5-6.0bar(80-90 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

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 Maintenance
Check for air leaks. Any damaged hoses should be replaced
Lubricate the tool by pouring a few drops 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/mandrel use depending on the size of the rivet nut.
Remove the mandrel from the front nose assembly and inspect for cracks, wear or other
damage. Replace if necessary.
Check that front nose assembly is fully tightened onto body

6
Weekly Maintenance
Carry out procedures as per daily maintenance instructions above
Clean and inspect the following using the below procedure..
oRemove the 4 black screw plugs (2 in the front and 2 in the rear of the tool), exposing
the brass pilot valve stem (see Fig 1).
oWith a blow gun, apply a stream of air to the threaded inlet to blow out any excess oil,
dirt, or debris. (Fig 2a)
oWipe the brass pilot valve stem of excess oil, dirt or debris. Clean in spirits if
necessary. Then, with a blow gun, apply a stream of air to the small hole in the
center of the pilot valve stem, cleaning them of excess oil, dirt and debris.
oApply a generous coating of White Lithium Grease to the O-rings on the valve stem
oReassemble the valve stem and plugs insuring that the valve stem is placed in the tool
correctly.

Monthly Maintenance
Carry out procedures as per daily & monthly maintenance instructions above
Grease the engine/gear reducer with a red synthetic grease

8
Trigger Service
Inspect trigger pin valve by insuring 56 has not come loose. The proper depth should be just
under the valve stem.
If adjustment is necessarym using a fork wrench or tire valve tool, screw the trigger pin 56
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.
