Setting up the M5 Ratchet Tool
1) Remove the nosepiece (1) from the tool.
2) Thread the shorter portion of the mandrel (3) into the silver
threaded portion of the tool, align the flat surfaces.
3) Thread the nosepiece (1) over the mandrel (3) back onto the
tool until it is securely fastened.
4) Snap the anvil (2) onto the front of the nosepiece (1).
Installation Sequence
1) Thread rear assembly (4) so the first line of the stroke indicator
lines (8) is visible.
2) Adjust the nosepiece (1) for the specific rivet nut type so that the
rivet nut receives full thread engagement on the mandrel (3).
3) Thread rivet nut fully onto tool, contacting anvil (2).
4) Insert the rivet nut into the hole of your application while it is
threaded onto the tool.
5) Using the ratchet toggle (5), set tool for clockwise rotation.
6) Grasp the handles (6, 7) & separate them so that they are at a 45
degree angle or less, moving the back handle (6) counterclockwise.
7) Move the back handle (6) clockwise until it is parallel with the front
handle (7).
8) Repeat steps 5 and 6 until rivet nut is fully collapsed.
(Stroke can be determined by the indicator lines (8) which are in mm)
9) Turn the rear assembly (4) counterclockwise & remove the tool
from the application.
