Problem Solution
1 . Rivet pintail is stuck in tool
First Step:
Lightly tap nose against a hard surface while after
breaking squeezing HANDLES and pressing down the
RELEASING BUTTON with tool pointing downward
Pintail should then fall out, see fig. 4. (If that does not
work try Second Step)
Second Step: (Use this only if first step does not work)
Remove NOSE TUBE and JAW HOLDER (for help see
figure 5) take out pintail and reassemble.
2. Tool will not reverse
Push on the handles until you feel a slight give,
then press the RELEASING BUTTON and continue
pushing on the handles, the tool should then reverse. If
this does not work Remove NOSE TUBE and inspect
for any foreign matter that may have cause the jamming
between JAW HOLDER and the inside of NOSE TUBE.
3. Fastener does not pull rivet
The JAW HOLDER is loose. Remove the NOSE TUBE
and tighten the JAW HOLDER by turning it
counter clockwise (see (See Three Piece Jaw
Installation and Removal)).
4. The rivet does not fit into the tool
The rivet is to large, or the wrong NOSE PIECE is on
the tool. To find the correct NOSE PIECE (see chart on
page 11). If you do not have the needed NOSE PIECE,
See next page for how to order the correct one.
5. Premature breaking
See solution for problem 4. Also verify the grip of the
fastener and make sure you are not rocking the tool
during installation.
6. Jamming of tool
See solution for problem 4. Also verify that you have the
proper jaw engagement and that all parts are hand tight
and that the jaws are cleaned and properly assembled
in jaw pusher (See Three Piece Jaw Installation and
Removal)
7. Rivet not installed properly See solution for problem 4. Also verify jaw grip and that
the appropriate fastener is being used.
8. Jaws breaking See solution for problem 4. Check to see all parts are
properly assembled and hand tight.
9. Damaged jaw pusher See solution for problem 4. Check to see if all parts are
properly assembled.
