Maintenance and care

The blind rivet nut setting tool must be kept in a dry place. Worn threaded mandrels must
be replaced as described under item 3.1, as required. After prolonged use it may become
necessary to top up or replace the hydraulic oil. To top up the hydraulic oil follow the sequence
of operations below:
• Disconnect the blind rivet nut setting tool from the compressed air network
• Unscrew nosepiece 2 using locknut 1
• Set setting stroke to 10 mm (all lines on stroke scale 5 are visible)
• Unscrew oil refill screw no. 12 and seal no. 13 using Torx screw driver T20
• Unscrew supplied oil refill container with lid
• Connect blind rivet nut setting tool to compressed air network and actuate trigger; then
detach blind rivet nut setting tool from compressed air network
• Drain waste oil from oil refill container
• Fill oil refill container up to mark with hydraulic oil
• Move the thrust piston unit at threaded mandrel 3 carefully to and fro by hand until the oil
starts to escape bubble-free; push thrust piston unit all the way back to the buffer and leave
it there.
• Unscrew oil refill tank and screw in oil refill screw 12 with seal 13
• Connect the blind rivet nut setting tool to compressed air network
• L oosen oil refill screw 12 carefully by c. 2 rotations; thrust piston unit will move slowly into
front end position. Catch any escaping oil with a rag!
• Tighten oil refill screw 12
• Screw down nosepiece 2, using locknut 1
