How to adjust the setting stroke or setting force

The blind rivet nut setting tool may either be operated using a firmly adjusted setting stroke or
by using a setting force that is adjusted to the respective nut size.
CAUTION! Please note!
When should you use a firmly adjusted setting stroke?
If the same blind rivet nut size and length are always set into the same material thickness, it is
possible to apply a constant setting stroke.
When should you use a setting force that is adjusted to the respective nut size?
• When a blind rivet nut size (e.g. M6) is set into materials of varying thicknesses.
• A blind rivet nut size of varying lengths (e.g. M6x15.5 or M6x18) is set into materials of
varying thicknesses.
This setting should be used as a priority.

How to adjust the setting stroke

To adjust the setting stroke, follow the 4 operational steps below:
1. Insert set screw with colour scale 9 (picture 2) all the way to the buffer (blue colour ring visible
in display window) using the hexagon screw driver SW4 provided.
2. Press down completely green release button 6
3. Adjust the setting stroke according to stroke scale 5 by turning stroke adjuster 4 (1 line of the
stroke scale equals 1 mm of setting stroke).
4. Release the green release button. If release button 6 does not lock of its own accord, turn the
stroke adjuster carefully until stroke adjuster 4 is locked.
The values for the setting stroke shown on the table below merely constitute reference points
and depend greatly on the thickness of the material! The setting stroke to be set must be
determined by carrying out trials with the exact material thickness. Use a different nut for each
trial!
