4.4. Clean air inlet filter weekly. Recommended hook-up procedure is shown in (fig.1).
4.5. Line pressure should be increased to compensate for unusually long air hoses (over 8 metres).
4.6. The minimum hose diameter should be 1/4” I.D., fittings must have the same inside dimensions.
4.7. Keep hose away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Check hoses for wear, and make certain that all connections are secure.
4.8. COUPLINGS
4.8.1. Vibration may cause failure if a quick change coupling is connected directly to the air riveter. To overcome this, connect a leader
hose - Sealey Model No: 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(gs.1&2).
5. PREPARATION

5.3. STROKE SETTING
5.3.1. Tool stroke should be set according to the thickness of the work piece into which the rivet nut is to be set. The tool’s stroke can be
 adjustedbetween1mmand8mm.Pushthesleevetowardsthemandrel(g.9).IO
5.3.2. Adjustthetoolstrokebyturningtheknurledwheel(gs10&11).Thescalealongthewindowarethesettingsforstroke.Pushthe
sleeve back to its original position after setting.N
5.3.3. Toestablishaprecisestrokesetting,itisrecommendedtosetatrialrivetnut(g.12)andrepeattheoperationsuntilthestroke 
has been correctly set.
5.3.4. In the case of the stroke being too long, it could be that the rivet nut can not be released from the mandrel after setting. To release
the tool from a damaged rivet nut use a piece of 3mm steel wire or equivalent, inserted into the hole on the nose pedestal. Turn it
 clockwisetoreleasetherivetnut(g.13).
6. OPERATION
6.1. After preparation and stroke setting (see section 5), put the rivet nut into the pre-drilled work piece hole.
6.2. Insert the mandrel into the rivet nut, push the tool and the mandrel will be automatically turned into the rivet nut.
6.3. Pull the trigger to set the rivet into the work piece.
6.4. After setting the rivet nut, release the trigger and the mandrel will turn anticlockwise and the tool will be released from the set rivet nut.
6.5. In case the tool is still not released from the set rivet nut, press the red button at the back of the compressed spring pedestal, then
the tool will be released.

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 subject to the vibration testing section of the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC.
This tool is to be operated in accordance with these instructions.
Measuredvibrationemissionvalue(a): ...........1.2 m/s²
Uncertaintyvalue(k):..........................0.61m/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.
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 HSE website
www.hse.gov.uk - Hand-Arm Vibration at Work.

7.2. HYDRAULIC OIL TOP UP/REPLACEMENT
7.2.1. If after a period of use the tool’s stroke is reduced, the tool’s
 hydraulicoilmayneedtoberelledorreplaced.
7.2.2.  Removethehexheadedscrew(g.16).
