Safety notes
The TIOS EL15 battery-operated lockbolt tool may only be used to install lockbolts and blind
rivets, as described in these operating instructions.
The TIOS EL18 rivet tool is designed to install lockbolts with a max. diameter of 6.5 mm and
high-strength blind rivets with a diameter of 6.4 mm at a max. installation force of 18 kN.
This rivet tool may only be used as a manual tool!
The customer is solely responsible for any modifications made to the rivet tool.
The safety notes contained in these operating instructions must be strictly observed at all times.
Never throw or drop the rivet tool!
This tool has been made to the very latest engineering standards and in keeping with the
approved safety guidelines. It can be operated safely provided that the safety notes and
intended use are observed and that the appropriate personal protective equipment is worn.
• Danger, electrical tool:
Only allow trained electricians to carry out work on the rivet tool. Check the electrical equip-
ment at regular intervals. Repair any loose connections and damaged leads immediately.
• Observe the corresponding accident prevention regulations that apply in your country.
• Never point the tool at anyone while it is in use.
• Keep your work area clean, tidy and well-lit. Bad housekeeping and poorly-lit work areas
increase the likelihood of accidents.
• Never use electrical tools in explosion-prone areas where combustible liquids, gases or dust
particles are found. Electrical tools generate sparks which can ignite dust or vapours.
• Take environmental conditions into account. Never expose electrical tools to rain. Never use
electrical tools in humid or moist environments.
• Only use the rivet tool within its specified range of performance. Overloading it may result in
the tool being damaged or in risks to your safety.
• Always wear protective glasses. It is recommended that you wear suitable personal
protective equipment, such as protective clothing, non-slip safety shoes, a hard hat and ear
protection, depending on what electrical equipment is being used
• Remove the battery before changing the accessories or storing away the tool. This pre-
cautionary measure will ensure that the electrical tool does not start running accidentally.
• Repairs must only be performed by trained personnel using original spare parts which can
be obtained from Gebr. Titgemeyer GmbH & Co. KG. This will ensure that the tool remains
safe to use at all times.
• Only use the designated batteries in the electrical tools.
The use of other batteries may result in injury or fire.
• Only charge the batteries in the chargers recommended by the manufacturer. The battery
may be destroyed if inserted into an unsuitable charger.

Safety notes
(continued from page 7)
• Whenever possible, always charge the lithium-ion battery immediately after using and never
store it when empty. The battery will keep its capacity constant for a longer time (max. loss
per year: 5%) if stored separately from the tool and charger.
• For safety reasons, the lithium-ion battery should not be left in an active charger for longer
than 36 hours. Whenever possible, remove the battery from the charger as soon as it is fully
charged.
• Whenever possible, always remove the battery from the device before transporting. This will
prevent you from unintentionally switching the device on and also prevent the battery from
running down very low.
• Never expose the lithium-ion battery to high temperatures (+ 50 °C) or direct sunlight. If the
battery becomes hotter than 50 °C while in operation (charging or discharging), immediately
remove it from the charger or rivet tool.
• Keep unused batteries away from paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws and any other small
metal objects that might bridge/short-circuit the contacts. Never open or short-circuit the
battery. Short-circuiting the battery contacts may result in burns, fire or explosions.
• Batteries may leak when subjected to extreme use or temperatures. Keep your skin and eyes
away from a leaking battery at all times. The liquid contained in a battery is corrosive and
may cause chemical burns in human tissue. Should the liquid come into contact with the
skin, immediately wash it off with soap and water and then with lemon juice or vinegar. If the
liquid comes into contact with the eyes, rinse with water for 10 minutes and then seek the
advice of a doctor immediately.
• Never charge the battery in temperatures BELOW 10 °C or ABOVE 40 °C.
• The charger must never be connected to a step-up transformer, generator or DC socket.
• Ensure that the ventilation slots on the charger are never covered or clogged.
• Never store the electrical tool or battery in areas where temperatures exceed 50 °C.
• Never store the battery in a box or enclosed container. The battery must be stored in a
well-ventilated area.
• No changes, modifications or alterations may be made to the tool without the manufacturer’s
permission. No conversions may be performed without first being approved in writing by
Gebr. Titgemeyer GmbH & Co. KG. Any parts not in fully-working order must be replaced
without delay.
