Foreseen Use of the Tool

This tool is designed to place blind rivets, also known as pop rivets in
pre-formed holes in sheet metal. The rivets are set in the sheet by a
pulling force exerted by the tool under the action of a hydro-pneumatic
cylinder. Upon placing the rivet correctly in the sheet, the stem of the
blind rivet will break off when the rivet is placed. Do not use the tool for
any other purpose than that for which it was designed unless first
consulting the manufacturer or the manufacturer’s authorised
representative.
Do not modify the tool for any other purpose or its use as a blind rivet
installation tool without first consulting the manufacturer or the
manufacturer’s representative.

Work Stations

The tool should only be used as a handheld, hand operated tool. It is
always recommended that the tool is used when standing on a solid
floor. It can be
used in other
positions but
before any such
use, the operator
must be in a
secure position
having a firm grip
and footing and
be aware of a
reaction force on
the hand as
result of the tool
doing work.

Putting Into Service

Air Supply

Use a clean lubricated air supply that will give a measured air pressure
at the tool of 90 p.s.i./6.3 bar when the tool is running with the trigger
fully depressed. Use recommended hose size and length. It is
recommended that the tool is connected to the air supply as shown in
figure 1. Do not connect the tool to the air line system without
incorporating an easy to reach and operate air shut off valve. The air
supply should be lubricated. It is strongly recommended that an air filter,
regulator, lubricator (FRL) is used as shown in Figure 1 as this will supply
clean, lubricated air at the correct pressure to the tool. Details of such
equipment can be obtained from your supplier. If such equipment is not
used then the tool should be lubricated by shutting off the air supply to
the tool, depressurising the line by pressing the trigger on the tool.
Disconnect the air line and pour into the intake bushing a teaspoonful
(5ml) of a suitable pneumatic motor lubricating oil preferably
incorporating a rust inhibitor. Reconnect tool to air supply and run tool

slowly for a few seconds to allow air to circulate the oil. If tool is used
frequently lubricate on daily basis and if tool starts to slow or lose power.
It is recommended that the air pressure at the tool whilst the tool is
running is 90 p.s.i./6.3 bar. The tool can run at lower and higher
pressures with the maximum permitted working air pressure of 100
p.s.i./7.0 bar.

Operating

Connect the tool to a clean supply of compressed air set at the right
pressure. Ensure that the tool is equipped with the correct nose
equipment to fit the rivet being placed. It is necessary to match the nose
equipment to the diameter size of the rivet being placed.
To place rivets with the tool, insert the rivet body into the prepared hole
in the application, apply the tool so that the stem of the rivet enters the
nose of the tool, press the tool and rivet firmly against the application,
pull the trigger and the rivet will place. If the stem of the rivet fails to break
off, it may be necessary to increase the supplied air pressure up to the
maximum pressure allowed for the tool of 100 p.s.i. (7.0 bar).
Ensure that the broken off stem is clear of the nose end of the tool
before proceeding to place the next rivet.

Dismantling and Assembly Instructions

Disconnect tool from air supply.
Using spanners (62) provided, unscrew frame head (38) and
nosepiece (37) from (37-2) according to size fitted. Using 17mm and
19mm spanners unscrew jaw housing (39) by gripping jaw case end
(42). Pull out jaw pusher (41) from inside jaw case end (42) and pull out
jaw pusher spring (43). Grip case lock nut (46) and unscrew jaw case
end (42) and remove case washer ring (45) and case lock nut (46) from
end of oil piston (54). Unscrew parts (61), (60) and (59), then unscrew
frame cap (58) and note that when doing this it will release the load off
the compressed spring (56) so be prepared for this reaction. Using a
3mm pin knock out spring pin (34) and then using a 12mm spanner
unscrew trigger head (32) and remove parts (31), (30), (9) and (28).
Unscrew muffler (20) and remove retainer ring (27). Push a skewer into
the recess of the muffler and push out parts (21), (22), (23), (24), (25)
and (26). Turn the tool upside down and place it into a vice. Using
14mm and 10mm spanners undo parts (1) and (3-6), and remove
parts (3-5) and (2). Using a rubber mallet tap part (3) round the base,
and pull it off. Pull out the whole piston assembly parts (5), (6), (7), (7-1),
(8), (10), (10-1), (11-1) and, (14) using the special tool. Loosen (15)
and take down (29-6) and (14-1). If replacing these 2 parts please order
together. Empty out the hydraulic oil first then take out part (54). Then
empty out the hydraulic oil again.

Reassembly

Reassemble the tool in the reverse order.

Priming

Place the tool in a vertical position and unscrew oil tank plug (50) and
remove (49) oil seal washer. Fill with oil, use SAE10 using the provided
applicator, until the oil level reaches the bottom of the hole. Replace
parts (49) and (50).

9) Always when using the tool adopt a firm footing and/or position and
grip the tool firmly to be able to counteract any forces or reaction forces
that may be generated whilst using the tool.

10) Use only correct spare parts. Do not improvise or make temporary
repairs.

11) Do not lock, tape, wire, etc. the on/off valve in the run position. The
trigger/lever etc. must always be free to return to the 'off' position when
it is released.

12) Always shut off the air supply to the tool, and depress the
trigger/lever etc. to exhaust air from the feed hose before fitting,
adjusting or removing the working attachment.

13) Check hose and fittings regularly for wear. Replace if necessary. Do
not carry the tool by its hose and ensure the hand is remote from the
on/off control when carrying the tool with the air supply connected.

14) Take care against entanglement of moving parts of the tool with
clothing, ties, hair, cleaning rags, etc. This will cause the body to be
drawn towards the tool and can be very dangerous.

15) It is expected that users will adopt safe working practices and
observe all relevant legal requirements when installing, using or
maintaining the tool.

16) Do not install the tool unless an easily accessible and easily operable
on/off valve is incorporated in the air supply.

17) Take care that the tool exhaust air does not cause a problem or
blows on another person.

18) Never lay a tool down unless the working attachment has stopped
moving.

19) The tool should not be operated without the safety cap fixed to the
rear end of the tool.

20) Do not operate the tool if the frame head is not fitted.

21) Care must be taken to ensure that broken stems from the installed
rivets do not cause a hazard.

22) Excessive contact with hydraulic oil should be avoided. Wash
hands after any such contact.
