AIR SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS
All tools are operated with compressed air at the range of 5~7Kgf/cm2 (75~100psi). We recommended the use of
pressure regulators and filtering systems on the main air supply. These should be fitted within 3 meters of the tool
to ensure maximum tool life and minimum tool maintenance.
Air supply hoses should have a minimum working pressure rating of 150% of the maximum pressure produced in
the system or 10 bar, whichever is the highest. Air hoses should be oil resistant, have an abrasion resistant
exterior and should be armoured where operating conditions may result in hoses being damaged. All air hoses
must have a minimum bore diameter of 6.4 millimeters or 1/4 inch.
OPERATION
Determine the size rivet that you are going to use. If setting 3/16" rivets no changes to the tool are necessary the
3/16" nosepiece is factory installed. To change the nosepiece remove it from rivet tool using wrench included.
Select nosepiece that corresponds to the size rivet you are using and screw nosepiece clockwise onto rivet tool
head.
Attach air line to air supply. Turn on the air ON/OFF valve by pushing the deflector ring up.(see the picture left
side above)
Insert a rivet mandrel into nosepiece. The rivet will be held in place by the vacuum. If rivet falls out of the
nosepiece, vacuum is not strong enough. To increase amount of suction turn vacuum adjuster nut located on the
side of the handle. (see the picture right side above)
OILING
It is important that the tool be properly lubricated. Every 10,000 cycles the tool should be oiled with lubricating oil.
There may be insufficient oil if the stroke of the tool is too small for proper installation. Without proper lubrication
the tool will not work properly and parts will wear prematurely.
1)
Keep the tool upright during all operations. Disconnect the tool from the air supply.
2)
Unscrew the oil fill screw from the body using the allen wrench included.
3)
Fill the syringe (included) with hydraulic oil.
4)
Screw the filled syringe in the oil fill screw hole. Then slowly inject the oil into the tool (Make sure no air is
injected.) Adequate oil has been added as soon as resistance is sensed. The excess oil will flow back when
the syringe is release if more oil is added than necessary.
5)
Unscrew and remove the syringe from the body.
6)
Screw the oil fill screw into the hole using the allen wrench.
7)
Wipe off any excess oil.
To test oil level, reconnect rivet tool to air supply and depress trigger 2-3 times. Insert rivet into nosepiece (use
the largest diameter rivet that tool accepts). Check to see if rivet mandrel can be inserted completely into
nosepiece- head of rivet must touch nosepiece. If rivet cannot be completely inserted into tool, too much oil has
been added and some must be removed. To remove excess oil unscrew oil fill screw approximately 1/4 turn.
Once the tool is properly adjusted tighten the oil fill screw firmly with allen wrench and wipe off any excess oil.
