3. AIR SUPPLY
3.1. Air Supply
p WARNING! Ensure the air supply is clean and does not exceed 90 psi while operating the riveter. Too high an air pressure and
unclean air will cause excessive wear, and may be dangerous, causing damage and/or personal injury.
3.1.1. Ensure the riveter air valve (or trigger) is not depressed before connecting to the air supply.
3.1.2. You will require an air pressure between 70-90psi, and an air flow according to the specification above.
3.1.3. Drain the air tank daily. Water in the air line will damage the riveter and invalidate your warranty.
3.1.4. Clean air inlet filter weekly. Recommended hook-up procedure is shown in fig 1.
3.1.5. Line pressure should be increased to compensate for unusually long air hoses (over 8 metres).
The minimum hose diameter should be 1/4” I.D. and fittings must have the same inside dimensions.
3.1.6. Keep hose away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Check hoses for wear, and make certain that all connections are secure.
3.2. Couplings
Vibration may cause failure if a quick change coupling is connected directly to the air drill. To overcome this, connect a leader hose -
Sealey model number AH2R or AH2R/38 - to the riveter. A quick change coupling may then be used to connect the leader hose to the
air line recoil hose. See figs.1 & 2.

pWARNING! Ensure you have read, understood and apply the safety instructions. This Tool is
designed for rivetting metal, primarily in workshops and garages. We do not recommend any other
use.
4.1. Filling with hydraulic oil: (Check each time before use).
4.1.1. Disconnect the tool from the air line.
4.1.2. Hold the tool upside-down and remove the air cylinder cap with a spanner.
4.1.3. Remove piston set.
4.1.4. Pump hydraulic oil into hydraulic cylinder until it overflows from the cylinder neck, (fig 3) and
wipe any excess oil away with a dry cloth.
4.1.5. Insert hydraulic plunger into cylinder and press it in slightly.
4.1.6. Reverse above procedure to reassemble. Slightly lubricate the inside wall of the air cylinder.
4.2. Adjusting the stroke:
4.2.1. Check that the hydraulic level is at its maximum (see 4.1).
4.2.2. Check the jaw stroke by using the supplied wrench/gauge as in figure 4, and adjust if
necessary (there is a 5mm tolerance).
4.2.3. Hold the jaw case in place with a spanner and loosen the lock nut with the spanner gauge
supplied. Adjust the distance between them as required.
4.2.4. Tighten the lock nut when adjustment is complete.
4.3. Changing Jaws:

4.3.4. Remove the jaws and clean with solvent or a brush. If the teeth are blunted,
replace with new jaws. Use genuine Sealey jaws only.
4.3.5. Reverse the above procedure to reassemble.
4.4. Operation:
4.4.1. Be sure to select the correct nosepiece and rivet for the job.

4. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
5. MAINTENANCE
pWARNING! Ensure you disconnect the tool from the air supply system before attempting any service or maintenance.
5.1. Maintain the tool with care. Keep it oiled for optimum performance.
5.2. Lubricate the air tool daily with a high quality air tool oil, (Sealey model no. ATO/500 or ATO/1000).
5.3. Store the tool in a safe, dry, secure environment.
5.4. Factors that may inhibit performance.
Loss of power or erratic action may be caused by reduced compressor output, an excessive drain on the air line, moisture or
restrictions in air pipes or the use of hose connections of improper size. Grit or gum deposits in the tool may cut power and can be
corrected by cleaning the air strainer and flushing out the tool with gum solvent oil or an equivalent de-greaser. If all outside
conditions are in order, disconnect the tool from the air supply, disassemble and replace any worn or damaged parts with Sealey
original parts. Clean all parts, reassemble the tool and lubricate as described above. Alternatively, take the tool to your nearest
authorised service agent.
Note: Wrench/gauge design may differ from
above. See spare parts diagram.

WARNING! – Risk of Hand Arm Vibration Injury.
This tool may cause Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome if its use is not managed adequately.
This tool is to be operated in accordance with these instructions.
Measured vibration emission value (a): ...1.01m/s²
Uncertainty value (k):....................0.6m/s²
Please note that the application of the tool to a sole specialist task may produce a different average vibration emission. We recommend that a
specific evaluation of the vibration emission is conducted prior to commencing with a specialist task.
A health and safety assessment by the user (or employer) will need to be carried out to determine the suitable duration of use for each tool.
NB: Stated Vibration Emission values are type-test values and are intended to be typical.
Whilst in use, the actual value will vary considerably from and depend on many factors.
Such factors include; the operator, the task and the inserted tool or consumable.
NB: ensure that the length of leader hoses is sufficient to allow unrestricted use, as this also helps to reduce vibration.
The state of maintenance of the tool itself is also an important factor, a poorly maintained tool will also increase the risk of Hand Arm Vibration
Syndrome.
PREPARING FOR USE.
Air Supply.
WARNING!
Ensure the air supply is clean and does not exceed 90psi while operating the tool.
Too high an air pressure and unclean air will shorten the product life due to excessive wear and may cause damage and/or personal injury.
Ensure that the tool air valve (or trigger) is in the “off” position before connecting to the air supply.
Monitor the compressor daily to ensure that moisture is not present in the compressed air. Water in the air line will damage the tool.
Line pressure should be increased to compensate for unusually long air hoses (over 8metres).
The minimum hose diameter should be ¼” internal diameter. Fittings must have compatible inside dimensions.
Keep hoses away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Check hoses for wear and ensure that all connections are secure.
Couplings.
Vibration may cause failure if a quick change coupling is connected directly to the tool.
To overcome this, connect a leader hose to the tool (Sealey ref: AH2R or AH2R/38).
A quick change coupling may then be used to connect the leader hose to the air line recoil hose.
CORRECT USE.
Vibration emission is closely linked to the operating pressure in the air supply. The user should ensure that the pressure is set in accordance with
our recommendations to assure optimum efficiency and minimise vibration exposure.

MAINTENANCE.
If the air system does not have an oiler, lubricate the air tool daily with a few drops of Sealey air tool oil dripped into the air inlet.
Clean the tool after use.
DO NOT use worn or damaged grinding discs (if applicable).
Loss of power or erratic action may be due to the following:
Excessive drain on the air line. Moisture or restriction in the air pipe. Incorrect size or type of hose connectors. To remedy, check the air supply
and follow instructions in the PREPARING FOR USE section.
Grit, residual deposits (gum) in the tool may also reduce performance.
Remove the strainer. Clean the strainer and flush the tool out with gum solvent oil or an equal mixture of SAE No: 10 oil and paraffin.
Allow the tool and strainer to dry then lubricate before use.
For a full service, contact your local Sealey service agent.
When not in use, disconnect the tool from the air supply, clean the tool and store the tool in a safe, childproof, location.
Health surveillance.
We recommend a programme of health surveillance to detect early symptoms of vibration injury so that management procedures can be modified
accordingly.
Personal protective equipment.
We are not aware of any personal protective equipment (PPE) that provides protection against vibration injury that may result from the
uncontrolled use of this tool. We recommend a sufficient supply of clothing (including gloves) to enable the operator to remain warm and dry and
maintain good blood circulation in fingers etc. Please note that the most effective protection is prevention, please refer to the Correct Use and
Maintenance section in these instructions.
Guidance relating to the management of hand arm vibration can be found on the HSC website www.hse.gov.uk - Hand-Arm Vibration at Work.
