5. Special safety advice
The riveting tool is exclusively designed
for setting Lockbolts and structural blind
rivets. The Customer bears individual re-
sponsibility for each and every change
of the riveting tool!
ATTENTION!
— Use the tool only after reading and un-
derstanding the operating instructions.
— Do not operate with the tool if you
are ill, under the inuence of drugs or
alcohol.
— Do not use the tool when it is incom-
plete and when it has visible mecha-
nical defects.
— Never aim the riveting tool at people
and do not rivet without material.
— Use the riveting tool only at working
temperature ranging from 5°C to 45°C.
— Never get over the maximum limit of
input air pressure of 7 bar
— In case the provided air pressure
exceeds the max of 7 bars, use appro-
priate equipment to reduce it.
— Use only ttings and hoses for an
approved operating pressure of 10
bar in pneumatics.
— Before adjusting or replacing compo-
nents, disconnect the tool from the
compressed air supply
— For processing rivets, use the recom-
mended pulling head for lockbolts or
jaw case and nosepiece for structural
blind rivets accordingly.
— Always use personal protective clothing.
— Tool not in current use must not be con-
nected to the compressed air supply
— Use the tool only for riveting
— Do not use the tool without assem-
bled rubber cover (5).
— The riveting tool must not be carried
or lifted by the air hose
ATTENTION!
Make sure that the riveting tool is
always equipped with the rubber cover
(5) for catching the rivet mandrels, other-
wise there is a high risk of injury.
NOTE
The Manufacturer bears no liability for
damages incurred due to incorrect repair
or due to using spare parts from other
sources.
The warranty is deemed invalid in case
of any repairs have been performed on
the riveting tool, leading to the damage
of the riveting tool or the seals.

— For visible damages
— For oil leaks
Select the correct pulling head unit for
the used lockbolt or the recommended
conversion kit and nosepiece when pro-
cessing structural blind rivets.
Check that assemblies are installed cor-
rectly and tightened rmly.
After connecting to the air supply check
for exhausting air

8. Tool operation
— Check the tool operation after ins-
pection or before rst use
(commissioning)
— Always make sure that you are using
a recommended pulling head for the
used rivet. Note that pulling heads
might provide specic adaptions and
sizes. To choose the correct adapter
to t this tool, refer to the table in
chapter 11: “Pulling heads”
— Connect the tool to the air supply (6
– 7 bar)
— To avoid damage to the tool, caused
by exceeded air pressure, the integra-
ted safety valve will switch to release
air. In this case, adjust the air pressure
to the correct value.
— Check for correct assembly and t of
the quick connectors – no air dischar-
ge is audible
— Press the riveting trigger – the rive-
ting tool performs the pulling move-
ment (gripping, pulling, ripping and
releasing of the mandrel)
— After riveting, release the trigger.

Procedure for processing lockbolts
1. Choose the correct lockbolt and collar
according to your application.
2. Make sure the tool and the installed
pulling head is suiting the setting
requirements for the chosen lockbolt
system.
3. Insert the lockbolt into the premanu-
factured holes, in the components that
will be fastened and slide the collar
on the bolt from the other side. (1)
4. Slide the riveting head on the lockbolt
until the head pushes the collar tightly
to the backside of the component. (2)
Make sure that the head of the lock-
bolt is still touching the component
from the other side.
5. Press the trigger and keep it pushed
until the end of the process.
— The jaws grab the mandrel and pull
the lockbolt. (3)
— The nosecap moves towards the
component, builds up the clamping
force, deforms the collar and rips the
mandrel at the end of the process. (4)
6. Release the trigger and make sure
that the ripped mandrel is ejected out
of the tool

Procedure for using blind rivet
1. Make sure that the stroke and force
of the tool is sufcient for the chosen
structural blind rivet
2. Choose the recommended nose piece
for the chosen rivet
3. Push the mandrel of the blind rivet
in the nosepiece until it touches the
rivet head. Then push the rivet into
the premanufactured holes of the
components (1)
4. Press the trigger and hold it down
— The mandrel will be pulled and
deforms the rivet according to its
build (2)
— The rivet is assembled as soon as
the mandrel is ripped by the conti-
nuing pulling force of the tool (3)
5. Release the trigger and make sure
that the ripped mandrel is ejected out
of the tool.

9. Proper use
To ensure that all the corresponding
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 local and system-specic condi-
tions and pay corresponding attention
to the operating hazards and speci-
cations.
— All measures required for the main-
tenance of the tool, e.g. transport and
storage, as well as the requirements
for maintenance and regular inspec-
tion must be observed.
— Use only a safety quick coupler for
permanent connection to the com-
pressed air sources
— Always set the riveting tool at the
right angle (90°) to the assembly
surface
— Consider range of use of the selected
rivet.
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 sup-
ply. In case pressure regulator with
a lter unit will not be used, it must
be ensured that the compressed air
cannot contain dirt and condensate.
— Length between the air supply pres-
sure regulator and the tool must not
exceed 3m.
— Used supply line must be resistant to
oil, liquids and operating conditions
— Used air hoses must have a 6 mm
minimum inner diameter.
— Maximum force depends on complian-
ce of the air inlet pressure

tool any further, place it in the original
packaging and store it in a dry and dust
free environment.
After long-term storage
After long-term storage (about 3 years),
replace the hydraulic oil before use. The
hydraulic oil may only be replaced by a
trained expert, according to the opera-
ting instructions. If required, you can
contact the Titgemeyer service centre
for a professional service.
13. Transport Instructions
The tool is delivered completely assem-
bled. It has to be handled like a fragi-
le equipment. This product contains
hydraulic oil.
14. Requirements for Operators
All planning, assemblies, installations,
activations, maintenance and repairs
may only be performed by trained staff
and inspected by technical experts. Trai-
ning may be provided by the manufac-
turer by agreement.
The persons responsible for labour safe-
ty must ensure the following:
— All works related to safety are only
performed by qualied staff.
— The staff must be qualied on the
basis of their specialization (training,

of their knowledge of corresponding
standards, specications, accident-
prevention regulations and system
properties. It is essential that such
persons are capable of identifying
and avoiding any potential risks in
timely manner.
15. Tool Modications
No structural modications that could
make safety worse may be performed
on the tool without the manufacturer’s
consent. Any unprofessionally perfor-
med repairs and the use of incorrect
spare parts are deemed to be inter-
ference in the design of the tool; the
manufacturer cannot guarantee the
correct function of the tool or provide
warranty to the product in such cases.
The warranty does not apply to the tool
