PRECAUTIONS ON USING THE TOOL
1. WEAR SAFETY GLASSES OR GOGGLES
Danger to the eyes always exists resulting from tool impact and air discharge. The employer and/or user must ensure that proper eye protection is worn. Follow the most current guidelines published by MSHA/OSHA for eye protection.
The employer is responsible to enforce the use of eye protection equipment by the tool operator and all other personnel in the work area.
Note: Non-side shielded safety glasses and face shields alone do not provide adequate protection.
2.
HEARING PROTECTION MAY BE REQUIRED IN SOME ENVIRONMENTS
If you are using the Power Set™Rivet Driver intermittently or for an extended period of time, you may need to wear hearing protection. The decibel rating on the Power Set Driver is 92 dBA (weighted single event emission sound pressure level at workstation).
The employer should check guidelines to assure compliance to MSHA or OSHA requirements on required hearing protection.
3.
DO NOT USE ANY POWER SOURCE EXCEPT AN AIR COMPRESSOR
The tool is designed to operate on compressed air. Do not operate the tool on any other high-pressure gas or combustible gases (e.g., oxygen, acetylene, etc.) since there is the danger of an explosion.
4.
OPERATE WITHIN THE PROPER AIR PRESSURE RANGE
The Power Set Rivet Driver is designed to operate within an air pressure range of 60 to 120 PSI (4-8 bar). WARNING: Never operate the Power Set Model PSRD-1 air control assembly over 120 PSI (8 bar). The Power Set regulator pressure relief safety value will activate. Always use the Power Set Rivet Driver with the air control assembly (regulator, filter, oiler) supplied in your Power Set Kit.
The Power Set
Rivet Driver, Power Set Rapid Loader™collated rivets strips with washers, and the SR™ Family of Rivet
Hinged Fasteners have been designed to work together as a system.
Note: To insure proper Power Set Rivet Driver usage and prevent tool damage, use this tool only with Flexco SR Fasteners and use only the Power Set Rapid Loader
collated rivet strips with washers.
The Power Set Rapid Loader collated rivet strips with washers have been developed to maintain alignment of the rivet during installation. Using any other types of rivet, including those manufactured by Flexco will not yield satisfactory results. Damage to your Power Set Rivet Driver resulting from the use of products other than Flexco SR Belt Fasteners and Power Set Rapid Loader collated rivet strips with washers will void your tool warranty.
More importantly, using non Flexco products with your Power Set Rivet Driver could result in unsafe tool operation resulting in either belt damage, or possible injury to the tool operator and others in the vicinity.
Safety Instructions
WARNING
: TO AVOID SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE BEFORE USING THIS TOOL READ
CAREFULLY AND UNDERSTAND THE FOLLOWING
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.” FAILURE TO FOLLOW WARNINGS
COULD RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY
.

5.
IMPROPER USE OF TEFLON TAPE ON ANY OF THE PNEUMATIC FITTINGS ON THE POWER SET RIVET DRIVER
SYSTEM CAN DAMAGE THE TOOL
When Teflon tape is applied improperly to the pneumatic fittings, it can break off and migrate into your Power Set
Rivet Driver. This could result in a blockage and the need to send the tool in for repair.
6.
DO NOT OPERATE THE POWER SET RIVET DRIVER NEAR FLAMMABLE SUBSTANCES
Never operate the Power Set Rivet Driver near a flammable substance (e.g., thinner, gasoline, methane, acetylene etc.). Volatile fumes from these substances could be drawn into the compressor and when compressed together with the air could cause an explosion.
7.
NEVER PULL THE CONTACT ARM BACK AND ACTUATE THE TOOL UNLESS THE NOSE IS FULLY INSERTED IN
THE METAL GUIDE BLOCK
Actuating the tool when it is not fully inserted in the metal guide block may damage the tool and could result in injury to the operator or others in the vicinity.
8.
KEEP HANDS AND BODY PARTS AWAY FROM THE DISCHARGE OUTLET
When using the Power Set Rivet Driver, never place a hand or any part of the body near the discharge area of the tool. Serious injury may occur.
9.
DO NOT OPERATE THE POWER SET RIVET DRIVER IF THE CONTACT ARM IS NOT WORKING FREELY
This could result in the unplanned firing of the drive rod resulting in damage to the tool and injury to the tool user. Send the tool in for repair.
10.
DO NOT CARRY THE POWER SET RIVET DRIVER BY THE AIR HOSE
This can result in loosening the pneumatic hose fittings resulting in air leaks or a failed hose fitting.
11.
MAKE SURE METAL GUIDE BLOCK HOLES ARE FREE OF DEBRIS AND FOREIGN OBJECTS
Before using the Power Set Rivet Driver, check the metal guide block to assure that no dirt, misfired rivets, or other foreign objects have lodged in the guide block holes. Objects lodged in the guide block holes, could result in a broken drive rod or could deflect a driven rivet into the operator. CAUTION: Be Careful
Not To Place Power Set Rapid Loader
Collated Rivets with Washers Into a Guide Block Hole
Where an Existing Rivet Has Already Been Driven. Accidentally driving over the top of an already
installed rivet can result in possible damage to the Power Set Rivet Driver, the guide block or belt, and could result in injury to the operator or anyone in the vicinity.
12.
ONLY USE SPECIFIED POWER SET RAPID LOADER™COLLATED RIVETS WITH WASHERS (see page 9)
The Power Set Rivet Driver can only be used with specially designed Power Set Rapid Loader
collated rivet strips with washers, intended to work with the Power Set Rivet Driver. They have a flute (washer) at the end of each rivet pilot nail, which helps keep the rivet aligned in the guide block hole. Do not use rivets without washers. Without washers, misfires will occur. Using any rivets, other than Power Set Rapid Loader
collated rivets with washers, may result in permanent damage to the tool, guide block, belt,
or Power Set operator.
13.
ONLY USE FLEXCO®SR™FASTENERS, POWER SET METAL GUIDE BLOCKS AND TOOLS WITH THE POWER
SET RIVET DRIVER
The Power Set Rivet Driver and Power Set Metal guide blocks were designed to specifically work with the Flexco line of SR
tools. Using an alternative tool base may result in rivet misfires, belt damage, damage to the Power Set Rivet Driver, or may result in a deflected rivet that could injure the Power Set Operator or others in the vicinity.
14.
DO NOT MODIFY THIS TOOL FROM ITS EXISTING DESIGN
Modifying the tool could result in injury to the operator or others in the vicinity and will void the warranty.
15. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REPAIR OR REPLACE BROKEN PARTS
Send the tool in for service. Failure to do so will void the warranty.
