examine the riveting tool without blind rivet. Wear safety glas-
ses.
•Connect the compressed air supply (6 bar) onto the riveting tool.
•Check riveting tools before commencement of work by using the push-
button (13).
You can hear that a stroke is being initiated.
•Re-adjust knurled nut (12).
Air must escape from the air outlet hole (6.1).
Caution Hazard of injury due to unchecked wearing out of the mandrel!
Use only an undamaged spent mandrel collector, and ensure
that it has been correctly fitted (always completely unscrew the
spent mandrel collector).
Attention Material damage! Always work with artificial spent mandrel
collector (6)! In the absence of the spent mandrel collector, the
safety mechanism (4) closes the outlet. Collected mandrels are
