2.4 Tool operation
Check the opening of the hand slide valve [main valve fig. 1] on the tool. All devices
in our AS series can be quickly disconnected from the compressed air to check or
temporarily switch off the suction device.
The manufacturer equipped the tool with a nosepiece /fig.1 - pos.1/ for a blind rivet
Ø 5.0 mm. Riveting with blind rivets of different diameters [further on referred to
as BR] requires use of appropriate nosepieces /fig.1 pos.1/ that are located in the
accessories casing of the tool.
Replacement of nosepieces: Connect the tool to the source of compressed air,
depress the trigger and screw out the nosepiece /fig.1 - pos.1/ with a spanner
no. 12. Screw on a new nosepiece and tighten it. Now you can release the trigger
of the tool.
The tool is equipped with revolving air supply /fig.1 - pos.A75/ which enables
manipulation with air supply before as well as during tool operation, air hose does
not obstruct riveting in any position.
The tool is equipped with multifunction trigger /fig.1 - pos.74/ which enables
following:
1 Rotational movement of the trigger around the pin - riveting.
>
The trigger is on the front extreme position, not pressed.
> Depressing the trigger shall fix the rivet.
6
2 Vertical movement of the trigger switching off the suction.
The tool is equipped with a multifunctional mandrel collector /fig.1/ which has
the following positions:
> Position 0 - mandrel collector removed
> Position 1 - mandrel collector mounted, suction is switched off
> Position 2 - mandrel collector mounted, suction is switched on
1 - Mounting the mandrel collector
fig.1
Put and push the mandrel collector /fig.1 - pos.32/ into the ring relief /fig.1 - pos.26/
end-to-end, thus you depress the arrestment element, and turn to position 1 or 2.
The mandrel collector shall thus be in place. The suction shall initiate in position
2. Relative position of the mandrel collector with air outlets /fig.1 - pos.26/ and the
ring relief /fig.1 - pos.32/ ensures that the outlet air pressure goes out in a suitable
direction [e.g. offward the operator of the tool].
2 - Removing the mandrel collector
Turn the mandrel collector/fig.1 - pos.32/ end-to-end to position 0 and pull it out of
the ring relief /fig.1 - pos.26/. The suction shall thus switch off.
The tool can be operated in the following manners:
1 - with the mandrel collector removed in position 0
Suction switches off by turning and removing the mandrel collector /fig.1 - pos.32/.
Insert BR into the riveting tool through the nosepiece hole. Depress the trigger to
move the jaws offward the BR head. The movement ends when reaching max. stroke,
correct BR with respect for material gauge shall tear off the shank [riveting] for one
stroke of the tool. Releasing the trigger shall return the jaws to initial position and
released torn-off shank can be removed from the nosepiece by tilting the tool.
/fig.1 - pos.1/ [does not apply for structural rivets].
2 - With the mandrel collector mounted in position 1
Mounting and turning the mandrel collector /fig.1 - pos.32/ to position 1 shall
arrest it. Insert BR into the riveting tool through the nosepiece hole. Depress the
trigger to move the jaws offward the BR head. The movement ends when reaching
max. stroke, correct BR with respect for material gauge shall tear off the shank
[riveting] for one stroke of the tool. Releasing the trigger shall return the jaws to
> Press and lock the trigger [after pressing shift it up cca 1,5 mm], then release
the trigger, the suction is switched off.
> Unlock the trigger [shifting the trigger down to the stop] and release it. The
suction is switched on and the trigger is in initial position see fig.1.
