4. OPERATION
4.1. INSERTING RIVET NUTS
4.1.1. Adjust the working stroke by rotating the sheath anticlockwise to lengthen the working stroke and clockwise to shorten the working
stroke.
Note: Model No: AK3985.V2 has a stroke scale to gauge optimum compression (see Fig.1). Only work when the scale indicates
6mm and below.
4.1.2. Retighten the knurled lock ring.
4.1.3. Screw a nut onto the mandrel, until it is level with the end of the nut.
4.1.4. Insert the riveter into the hole and close the handles to rivet the nut. The rivet needs to shorten by approximately 6mm.
4.1.5. Rotate the thumbwheel anticlockwise to remove the mandrel from the rivet nut.
4.2. CHANGING THE MANDREL (REFER TO FIG.2)
4.2.1. Use the tool to remove the mandrel nut, remove the sheath and its washer.
4.2.2. Place the spanner supplied over the mandrel and use it to hold down the tube to engage and hold the hex nut. Use another
spanner to undo the mandrel (anticlockwise).

5. TROUBLESHOOTING

spanner to rotate the mandrel anticlockwise to release it from the rivet.
