safety measures are observed and that
the riveting tool will work properly, the
following is required:
— The system has to be used in compli-
ance with the tool’s technical data and
specications concerning the use, as-
sembly, connection, environment and
work conditions. These conditions are
stipulated in the documents related to
the order, user information (tags etc.)
and in the documentation delivered
with the system, which includes the
operating instructions, as well as the
maintenance and inspection instruc-
tions in this manual.
— The users have to act in compliance with

Compressed air supply
— For correct operation of the device,
it is necessary to observe the range
of inlet air pressure between the
minimum and maximum permissible
value of 6 – 7 bar. If necessary an
appropriate pressure reduction valve
has to be used. In case of non-com-
pliance, personal injury or damage to
the device may occur.
— The pressure regulator must be equip-
ped with a lter unit for separating
dirt and condensate from the air
supply. In case the pressure regulator
with a lter unit will not be used, it
must be ensured that the compressed
air cannot contain any dirt and/or
condensate.
— The length between the air supply
pressure regulator and the tool must
not exceed 3m.
— Used air supply hose must be re-
sistant to oil, liquids and operating
conditions
— Used air hoses must have a 6 mm
minimum inner diameter.
— Achieving the maximum force of the
tool depends on compliance of the air
inlet pressure

application. After the riveting tool has
been cleaned to be stored for a longer
period of time, all external metal parts
need to be lightly greased with corro-
sion inhibitor.
17. Inspection and maintenance
Jaws cleaning or replacement
Jaws need to be cleaned once a day or
after 2,000 rivets (depends on the rivet
quality). In case of larger amounts of
processed rivets, cleaning is performed
as needed. The grips are subject to me-
chanical wear and have to be replaced
as soon as they start slipping when the
rivet mandrel is held.
— Disconnect the tool from the compres-
sed air supply
— Loosen the front nosecap by wrench
no. 19, unscrew and carefully remove it
— Release the galvanized lock by pulling
towards the tool and unscrew the
clamping head
— Remove the jaws from the clamping
head. Clean the head and the jaws,
remove any chips in the spring and
the spring guiding or replace the parts
when worn or damaged
— Lightly grease the new jaws on the
outer circumference and insert them
(teeth to the axis) in the jaw case.
Screw the head back on the adap-
ter. The lock automatically secures
the clamping head against release.
Tighten only to the last possible tooth
of the lock. Do not use a wrench for
tightening! It could damage the lock
— Carefully screw on the front nosecap
and tighten it with wrench no. 19.
— Check the x-dimension value (chapter

Setup of the X-dimension
To achieve a good grip of the jaws with
the mandrel and just enough opening to
allow a smooth and not scratching inserti-
on of the mandrel in the tool, the correct
setup of the x-dimension is relevant. The
rst setting is performed by the manufac-
turer to x=84mm (basic setting).
If it is necessary, adjust the x-dimen-
sion by counter nut and spacer by using
wrenches no. 15 and 12. Maximum
allowed X-dimension is 86 mm with
default nosepiece and pulling head.
Minimum X-dimension is limited by the
thread on the piston. With higher size of
X-dimension it is possible to reach wider
jaw opening in case the rivet mandrel
gets stuck in the jaws. On the other
hand with lower X-dimension the jaws
may grip the mandrel faster.
This is advantageous in situation where
the mandrel is short and the jaws grip
it in the back. It is always necessary
to check if the pulling head does not
collide with the nosepiece to prevent
any damage.
Oil relling
— Oil needs to be relled when the wor-
king stroke is reduced during working
process
— During oil relling, prevent dirt from
entering the hydraulic system
— Disconnect the tool from the compres-
sed air
— Remove the nosecap (see chapter
jaws cleaning and replacement)
— Use allen key no. 4 to unscrew the
screw in the top of the tool
— Fill up the syringe with the recommen-
ded hydraulic oil (chapter 19. Technical
parameters), attach it to the brass adap-
ter and screw the adapter on the outlet
— Press the hydraulic oil into the tool
and pump the syringe piston several
times. As you are pumping, you can
see that the hydraulic piston is mo-
ving forward and backwards.
— Unscrew the adapter, mount the screw
and USIT ring, mount the nosecap (see
chapter jaws cleaning and replacement)
— Clean the tool from any spilled oil
