THESE BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS SHOULD ALWAYS BE FOLLOWED TO PROTECT AGAINST PERSONAL INJURY TO THE OPERATOR OR OTHER PERSONNEL IN THE AREA, AS WELL AS DAMAGE TO THE EQUIPMENT. READ AND UNDERSTAND THESE WARNING BEFORE USING EQUIPMENT. Keep tool away from children, and DO NOT allow children near work area. Do not allow children or untrained personnel to handle this tool. DO NOT operate this tool while tired, or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication that makes you drowsy. Never point the tool at yourself or others - always assume that the tool is loaded, and proceed with caution. Wear safety glasses and ear protection. The operator and all personnel in the work area must wear safety glasses that protect the front and side, to avoid eye injury. Ear plugs should be worn to avoid hearing damage. Never use oxygen, bottled gas or any type of combustible fuel as a power source - it can cause an explosion and serious injury. Use an air hose that will withstand at least 150 PSI, OR 150% of the maximum pressure of the compressor. Never connect this tool to compressed air if the pressure could exceed 200 PSI, as the tool could burst. Use only clean, dry, regulated compressed air, with pressure not exceeding 95PSI. Do not use an air hose that is too long-tool operator can trip over it. Make sure all connections are tight.

APPLICATIONS Installing 3/32, 1/8, 5/32 and 3/16 aluminum, steel, stainless steel blind rivets. Note: (3/16 stainless steel not recommended). Use for: Furniture, automotive, watercraft, ductwork, sheet metal, gutters, playgrounds, etc. FEATURES - Lightweight die cast aluminum body - 3 piece jaw design for greater pulling power - Mandrel collector MAINTENANCE (continued) Servicing and Cleaning Jaws To access jaws (part#4), remove outer sleeving (part#2) to expose pulling mechanism and jaw case (part#3). To remove jaw case from pulling mechanism, use 2 wrenches (included). Jaws will be under slight spring pressure from the jaw pusher. Separate jaw case from pusher. Jaws will now be loose. Clean jaws with a wire brush. Place a small dab of multipurpose Lithium grease or Lubriplate on outside of jaws (not serrated side). Return jaws into jaw case ensuring proper placement of jaws. All serrated faces should be touching each other. Note: see parts list on page 10 for all parts and descriptions AIR SUPPLY! DANGER NEVER use oxygen or other bottled gases. Explosion may occur. This tool is designed to operate on clean, dry, regulated compressed air, between 65 and 95 PSI. It is preferable to include an air filter and pressure regulator within 15 feet of the tool, if possible. Remove outer sleeving Remove jaw case An air filter is needed to remove contaminates and moisture that are contained in compressed air; filtering will significantly prolong the life of the tool. Do not install a quick coupler directly into the tool. Higher pressure drastically reduces tool life. The tool must always be connected to the air supply with a coupling that removes all pressure when it is disconnected. NOTE: All components used with this tool (air hose, connectors, regulators, filters, etc) must be rated at 120 PSI, or 120% of the maximum compressor potential, whichever is higher. Do not connect this tool to a system with maximum potential air pressure greater than 120 PSI.

OPERATION OPERATION Identification Outer Sleeving Oil Fill Screw Hook TOOL PREPARATION Determine the size rivet that you are going to use. The 3/16 nosepiece is factory installed. Also included are the 3/32, 1/8 and 5/32 nosepieces stored on bottom of the rivet tool. Note: Attach mandrel deflector to your tool at all times during use for your safety (see mandrel deflector instructions below). 3/16 Nosepiece Trigger Air Exhaust Mandrel Deflector Changing Nosepieces: Use wrench included to remove and replace your desired nosepiece. Unscrew nosepiece counter-clockwise. (Fig. 1) Select nosepiece that corresponds to the size rivet you are using and screw nosepiece clockwise onto rivet tool head. Attach air line to air supply (1/4 quick connect recommended (not included). Setting Rivets: Insert a rivet mandrel into the nosepiece until head of the rivet touches the nosepiece. Place the rivet into the hole of the material being used until contact is made with head of the rivet. (See chart below for correct hole sizes to drill) Squeeze the trigger to set the rivet. Release the trigger once the rivet is set. The spent mandrel will be ejected into the mandrel deflector by tilting the rivet tool backwards. The spent mandrels will drop out of the bottom of your deflector during use. Fig.1: Unscrew nosepiece counter clockwise onto rivet tool head. Air Inlet Base Cover Mandrel Deflector: Note: Mandrel deflector must be attached to tool at all times for your safety. Deflector should be screwed on rivet tool until deflector opening is facing downwards (Fig.2). The spent mandrels will be ejected in the deflector by tilting the rivet tool backwards. The spent mandrels will drop out of the bottom opening of your deflector during use. Fig.2: For your safety, mandrel deflector should be screwed on rivet tool with opening facing downwards before each use. Rivet Size Hole Size to Drill Drill Bit No. Extra nosepieces: 3/32, 1/8, and 5/32 are stored on bottom of rivet tool.

MAINTENANCE Lubrication It is important that the tool be properly lubricated. Every 10,000 cycles the tool should be oiled with lubricating oil. There may be insufficient oil if the stroke of the tool is too short for proper installation. Without proper lubrication the tool will not work properly and parts will wear prematurely. 1) Keep the tool upright during all operations. Disconnect the tool from the air supply. 2) Unscrew the oil fill screw from the body using an allen wrench (not included) (Fig. 5). 3) Fill the syringe (included) with hydraulic oil - use ISO 68 or AW 68 Anti-foaming high pressure hydraulic fluid (not included). 4) Screw the filled syringe in the oil fill screw hole. Then slowly inject the oil into the tool making sure no air is injected (Fig.6). Adequate oil has been added as soon as resistance is sensed. The excess oil will flow back when the syringe is release if more oil is added than necessary. 5) Unscrew and remove the syringe from the body. 6) Screw the oil fill screw into the hole using the allen wrench. 7) Wipe off any excess oil. To test oil level, reconnect rivet tool to air supply and depress trigger 2-3 times. Insert rivet into nosepiece (use the largest diameter rivet that tool accepts (3/16 ). Check to see if rivet mandrel can be inserted completely into nosepiece - head of rivet must touch nosepiece. If rivet cannot be completely inserted into tool, too much oil has been added and some must be removed. To remove excess oil unscrew oil fill screw approximately 1/4 turn. Once the tool is properly adjusted, tighten the oil fill screw firmly with the allen wrench and wipe off any excess oil. When the oil fill screw is unscrewed, oil will seep from the chamber. After the rivet mandrel is fully seated into the nosepiece, the oil level is then ready for operation. Air Supply Requirements Use a dry, filtered air supply regulated to 65-95 PSI (5-6 bar). A minimum of 65 PSI is recommended. If the recommended operating pressure is exceeded the tool may not function because of built up line pressure. For optimum performance connect the tool air line to an air supply of at least 1/4". If problems should occur with the setting of the pressure, disconnect the tool from the compressed air supply, to release pressure from the tool. Verify that the tool is in proper working order and that air-pressure level is properly set on the air compressor. Mode of Operation When the tool is connected to an air supply and the trigger is pulled, pressurized air pushes the air piston which acts on the hydraulic ram assembly. The hydraulic ram assembly forces hydraulic fluid from the reservoir in the handle into the main hydraulic bore where it moves the hydraulic piston together with the attached pulling mechanism rearward. As the pulling jaws move rearward they close on and grip the rivet mandrel and set the rivet. When the trigger is released air at line pressure forces the hydraulic piston forward to the starting position. As the hydraulic piston moves forward the hydraulic fluid is also forced back returning the hydraulic fluid and the ram assembly and air piston to the starting position. The compressed air used to set the rivet is exhausted through the base of the intensifier chamber. When the hydraulic piston is fully returned the broken rivet mandrel is released as the jaws are forced open again by the nosepiece. (Fig. 5.) (Fig. 6.) Unscrew oil fill screw Slowly inject the oil into the tool 7 4
