2. Put the desired size rivet in the end that
corresponds with the installed nose piece.

3. With the handles spread wide, push the rivet into the
pre-drilled hole and put a slight amount of pressure
on the rivet and work piece. Then squeeze the
handles together until the rivet head pops loose
form the mandrel.

4. Sometimes one squeeze will not be sufficient to
separate the rivet from the mandrel as longer and
larger diameter rivets may require more than
one squeeze.

5. Re-spread the rivet handles and slide the
nose piece against the rivet button and squeeze
once again till the rivet pops loose from
the mandrel.

When breaking the riveter loose from the
rivet, please assume a firm stance as you
may lose your balance, which could
result in serious injury.
