Safety notes
The TIOS®ER15 battery-operated blind rivet tool may only be used to install blind rivets, as
described in these operating instructions.
The TIOS®ER15 rivet tool is designed to install standard and cap (sealed end) blind rivets, as
well as high-strength blind rivets with a rivet shank ø of 3.0 – 6.5 mm made from any material
up to a max. installation force of 15 kN.
This rivet tool may only be used as a manually operated 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 intend-
ed 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 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 precautionary measure will ensure that the electrical tool does not start running unin-
tentionally.
• 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 to use and will extend the lifetime of the tool.
• 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.
• 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.

Safety notes
(continued from Page 7)
• 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 trans-
porting. This will prevent you from unintentionally switching the device on and also pre-
vent 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 dis-
charging), 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.

Note
Important
Risk of injury due to flying rivet heads! For this reason, no blind rivets should be loaded when
checking the rivet tool. Always wear protective glasses.
Risk of injury due to discharging mandrel! Only use this tool with an undamaged spent
mandrel container. And always ensure that the container is correctly in position.
To install different sizes of blind rivet (rivet shaft ø 4.0 – 6.5 mm) you can change the nose
piece on the rivet tool.
Use the SW12 and SW14 open-end spanners.
If the nose piece is firmly attached, try clamping the rivet tool in a vice and then loosening
the nose piece. Before clamping the rivet tool in a vice, remember to place a soft material
(aluminium/wood) around it first.
Only use the nose piece that matches the blind rivet you are going to use. Failure to do so may
damage the rivet tool. The nose piece should screw in by hand. Do not apply force as this may
damage the tool. Do not cross thread or use a nose piece with a damaged thread. You will
need to overcome the spring action on the jaws.
The max. mandrel length (after breakage) must not exceed 62 mm.
Required tools: SW12 and SW14 open-end spanners.
