Guiding instructions
The legislator prescribes that the user must be well trained for using com-
pressor-driven riveting tools. On request, this training could be done by
dealer or directly by RIVETEC s.r.o.
This riveting tool is as per the latest technological standards. For the
device to function properly, it is necessary to operate it in an expertly
manner, with adherence to safety requirements.
Before using the riveting tool for the first time, read the guiding instruc-
tions carefully.
All the procedures necessary for the operation have been described in
these guiding instructions. You may carry out only those procedures,
which have been described here.
In case of obstructions, you may repair only those obstructions, which
have been marked with an O(Operator).
All the illustrations and position-codes in the individual diagrams take
reference from the list of parts in the last pages.
For sizes of screws and threads, you will find a table containing the torque
values in the chapter “Maintaining the riveting tool”.

Safety instructions
The riveting tool is solely designed for setting locking ring bolts and blind
rivets. The riveting tool RL 75 is designed for the processing of locking
ring bolts with a nominal shaft diameter of 5.0 to 6.5 mm made of alumini-
um, steel and stainless steel and for blind rivets with a rivet shaft diameter
of 5.0 to 6.5 mm made of aluminium, steel and stainless steel.
This riveting tool must be used only as a hand-held device!
The client is fully responsible for any modifications to the riveting tool!
Never throw away or drop the riveting tool!
Please take care that only clean and dry compressed air is let into the
riveting tool. Moisture and dirt can damage the riveting tool. Use only such
compressed air, which falls into class 2 of air quality as per ISO 8573-1.
Caution Hazard of injury because of explosion! Never use the riveting
tool in an atmosphere prone to explosions. Ensure that the
workplace is well lit and clean.
Hazard of injury due to the openly moving compressed air
hose. Connect and lay the compressed air hose properly.
Hazard of injury due to tripping over! Lay the compressed air
hose in such a way that nobody should trip over it.
Attention Material damage! The maximum operating pressure is 7 bar.
For increasing the durability of the riveting tool, it is recommen-
ded to fit a compressed air-maintenance unit in the compressed
air hose.

Safety instructions
Basic requirements while dealing with the riveting tool
Caution Do not operate the riveting tool when it is directly pointing at
any person.
Follow the prevalent guidelines for the prevention of accidents
in the respective country.
Use only those fittings and hoses, which have been approved
for the operating pressure.
Disconnect the compressed air supply from the riveting tool at
the time of installation or maintenance.
Wear personal safety gear (safety glasses and safety helmet).
Attention Pay attention to the details on the packaging of the blind rivets
or locking ring bolts.
Use the riveting tool only at operating temperatures above 5°C
and 45°C.
Always use the fitting tension head for every type of blind rivet,
locking ring respectively.
Do not throw away the riveting tool.
The operator may only carry out the maintenance and repair work descri-
bed in these operating instructions.
Maintenance and service work not described in these operating instruc-
tions may only be carried out by trained specialists following instruction by
RIVETEC on the basis of the service instructions which also exist. See the
address on page 34 for more information on service instructions and
training.

Storing the riveting tool/ tension heads
Until first use
If you do not intend to use the riveting tool immediately, store the riveting
tool and the tension heads in their original packaging - in a dry and dust-
free condition.
Long-term storage after usage
Turn collectors (6) off, screw out swivel joint (11) and close the opening
with the plug (10). Dismantle tension head and lubricate with acid-free
grease. If possible, store all pieces in the original packing.
After long-term storage
After long-term storage (about 3 years), change the hydraulic oil before
re-use.
A hydraulic oil change may only be carried out by trained specialist with
the help of the service instructions. For further information regarding
service instructions and training, please see the address on page 34.

14
Preparing the riveting tool
The components ordered by you are marked as per the checklist found
inside the packing.
Note Please check the contents of the packing, for completeness of
the checklist
In every case, please carry out a visual check of the riveting tool before
starting any work:
— for external damages,
— for oil leakage from the riveting tool.
• Remove the plug (10) from the connection port, and store in the original
packing.
Note The swivel joint (11) and the safety valve (9) can be alternative-
ly fitted on both the sides of the hydraulic housing. The diagram
below shows the arrangement for a right-hander.
Note In case of all screw-fittings, observe the table for torque values
in the chapter “Maintaining the riveting tool”
• Screw on the swivel joint (11) and tighten using the wrench SW17 (see
page 26 “Table for torque values”).

Note Depending on the type of compressed air supply, it may be
necessary to connect a fitting different from the one provided,
to the riveting tool. For this, you need to have a fitting having a
1/4” Withworth pipe thread as per ISO 228.
Attention Material damage by compressed air!
As per norm ISO 8573-1, class 2, compressed air must be dry
and clean. We recommend that you fit a compressed air-main-
tenance unit to the riveting tool.
• Compressed air hose should be connected to the swivel joint (11), as
prescribed.
Note The operating pressure must be between a minimum of 5 and a
maximum of 7 bar!

Select tension head
You can modify the riveting tool to process locking ring bolts and blind rivets of varying sizes and materials by
changing the tension head. If a different tension head has already been mounted, dismantle it in compliance
with the assembly description in reversed sequence.
Always check the tension head before every assembly for outer damages. The tension heads have to be
ordered separately.
You can see which tension head is to be used from the following table.
