CAUTION:
ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES WHEN OPERATING TOOL
Recommended air pressure: 45 to 100 PSI.*
The air supply to the tool should be dry and free of contamination to prevent wear and
tear of the internal components. It is recommended that a filter, pressure regulator and
oiler system be used "in line" as close to tool as possible.
* PSI setting depends upon material, thread size and thickness
The average air setting is 80 PSI.

IMPORTANT! PLEASE READ! FRONT END ASSEMBLIES (FEA)
Purchasing the Optional Front End Assemblies are at the
Owner's discretion. Care must be taken to optimize the tools Rivet Nut
setting ability. Adjustment of the air pressure will be necessary in order
for the tool to function in both minimum and maximum capacity on ALL
optional thread sizes per tool.
OPERATOR IS LIABLE FOR CORRECT AIR PRESSURE
DO NOT EXCEED 100 PSI.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS:
WITH THE TOOL DISCONNECTED FROM
THE AIRLINE, CHECK TO SEE THAT THE
SOCKET HEAD CAP SCREW (MANDREL)
EXTENDS BEYOND THE FACE OF THE
ANVIL FAR ENOUGH TO ALLOW AT LEAST
ONE THREAD OF THE SCREW / MANDREL
TO EXTEND BE BEYOND THE END OF THE
INSERT. IF THE SCREW IS NOT LONG
ENOUGH, MEASURE WHAT IS REQUIRED
AND GET A SOCKET HEAD CAP SCREW
(MANDREL) TO THE CORRECT SIZE THAT
WILL ALLOW THE THREADS TO PROTRUDE
OUT OF THE RIVET-NUT AS SHOWN.
ANVIL / NOSEPIECE
Socket head cap screw (mandrel)
Note: If you need to purchase a socket
head cap screw be sure to purchase a
high quality socket head cap screw and
also the correct length
RIVET-NUT
STEP 1. Connect the airline to the tool. Hold the Rivet-nut to the tool mandrel. Actuate and hold position "F" (Forward) of the
trigger (c) in and start engagement of the Rivet-Nut on to the tool screw (mandrel).
STOP Rivet-Nut engagement just before the head of the Rivet-Nut comes in contact with the anvil face and then by hand,
rotate the Rivet-Nut until it comes in contact with the anvil.
STEP 2. After the above is completed, insert Rivet-Nut into the pre-drilled hole in the application. To actuate, depress trigger
(C) at position "F" (Forward) and start engagement of the Rivet-Nut. The socket head cap screw (mandrel) will
upset the fastener and clinch it securely into the application and allow the tool to stall.
STEP 3. After tool stalls, depress trigger (c) at position "R" (Reverse) and disengage the socket head cap screw
(mandrel) from the installed Rivet-Nut. Release trigger (c) after disengagement.
Repeat steps 1, 2 and 3 to continue setting Rivet-Nuts.
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE:
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT YOU APPLY OR DIP THE
FIRST FEW THREADS OF THE SOCKET HEAD CAP SCREW
IN A LIGHT OIL EVERY SO OFTEN TO MAINTAIN
LUBRICITY AND REDUCE WEAR. ALL AIR TOOLS CONTAIN
GEARS THAT SHOULD BE LUBRICATED WEEKLY WITH
STANDARD GEAR GREASE. (CAUTION: EXCESSIVE
LUBRICATION WILL AFFECT THE TOOLS SPEED AND
POWER). TO PREVENT DAMAGE REMEMBER THAT
PNEUMATIC TOOLS HAVE SENSITIVE INTERNAL
COMPONENTS AND THEY SHOULD NOT BE DROPPED OR
DRAGGED.
