Installation Steps
This rivet nut installation tool features a scale identification so the
working stroke can easily be known.
Open the handles to thread the rivet nut onto the mandrel stem
(Figure A). By rotating the outer sheath outwards, the working stroke
will become longer. Rotating the outer sheath inwards will cause the
working stroke to become shorter (Figure B). Once the appropriate
working stroke has been established, tighten the locking nut. Using
the wrench (included), tighten the mandrel nozzle (Figure C).
With the rivet nut fully threaded on the mandrel stem, put the rivet nut
into the hole and close the handles to rivet (Figure D).
NOTE: FOR OPTIMAL RESULTS, MAKE SURE THE RIVET
NUT IS FULLY INSERTED AGAINST THE SHOULDER.
Rotate the installation knob counterclockwise to release the rivet nut
installation tool after riveting (Figure E).
NOTE: FOR LEFT HAND THREAD RIVET NUTS, RELEASE
THE RIVET NUT INSTALLATION TOOL BY TURING THE
INSTALLATION KNOB CLOCKWISE.
