1 - Conrm Insert Compatibility and Setup
With the tool disconnected from the air source, thread
the insert onto the mandrel until it touches the anvil nut.
Make sure that the mandrel is long enough to allow one
full thread to extend past the insert. To simplify set up, be
sure measurement is based on the longest insert you will
be installing during that installation session. To make this
adjustment loosen the lock nut on the anvil nut. Thread the
anvil nut in or out to adjust the amount of exposed mandrel.
Tighten the lock nut on the anvil nut after the adjustment is
made.
2 - Adjust Stroke
Connect the tool to the air source. Make sure to operate
tool at the appropriate recommended air pressure (80-100
psi.). Pull and hold the trigger. Rotate the stroke adjustment
wheel to shorten or lengthen the stroke. The stoke is
properly adjusted when the insert is fully collapsed when
tool completes it’s pull stroke.
3 - Set the insert in your workpiece
Connect the tool to the air source. Make sure to operate tool
at the appropriate recommended air pressure (80-100 psi.).
Start threading the insert on to the mandrel. Pull the trigger
to the half pull detent and spin the mandrel in to the insert
until the insert touches the anvil nut (do not release the
trigger). g (A)
Place the insert through the hole in the workpiece. Pull the
