and the spinner anvil (#2) (figure C).
• Turn the take-up handle (#13) until the chain is secured against the spinner anvil (#2) (figure D).
• Turn the spinner handle (#7) a few times to center the rivet hub in the spinner anvil (#2) (figure E).

• Turn the spinner handle (#7) and at the same time, slowly turn the take-up handle (#13) inward
(approximately one full revolution) until the rivet head is formed. The take-up handle (#13) will provide
pressure while the spinner anvil (#2) forms a rivet head (figure G).
