Sequence of operations

5.1

How to wind down a nut

• Position blind rivet nut without tilting on threaded mandrel 3.
• Then use the blind rivet nut setting tool to press the threaded mandrel towards the blind
rivet tool. This action will automatically start the winding down process.
• Do not press activation button!
• Keep a tight hold of the blind rivet nut throughout the winding down process until the blind
rivet nut rests on nosepiece 2. The winding down process finishes automatically.
5.2

How to set the blind rivet nut

• Insert the wound down blind rivet nut all the way into the drilled hole of the work piece.
• Start the setting process by pressing the activation button. Hold down activation button!
• The removal process will start automatically once either the set setting stroke or the set
setting force have been reached (See also item 4!). The removal process will continue as
long as the activation button is being held down. Do not release activation button before
the threaded mandrel has been completely removed from the set nut.
5.3

How to remove a nut manually by turning

• If the activation button is released too early after a setting process resulting in the threaded
mandrel not being removed completely or if the nut was positioned askew, you have the
option of starting a manual removal button 7 (see image 1).
• If it proves impossible to remove the threaded mandrel with the help of removal button
7 (for instance in the case of a severely deformed nut), you have the option of removing
the threaded mandrel manually by turning. To loosen the threaded mandrel, insert the
supplied hexagon screw driver SW4 into hexagon socket 8 at the air outlet of the air motor
(see image 1) and turn it anti-clockwise.
