Operation (con't)
Attach air line to air supply. Turn on the air ON/OFF valve by pushing the deflector ring up. (Fig 1)
Insert a rivet mandrel into nosepiece. The rivet will be held in place by the vacuum. If rivet falls
out of the nosepiece, vacuum is not strong enough. To increase amount of suction turn vacuum
adjuster nut located on the side of the handle. (Fig 2)
Lubrication
Fig 1
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 small for
proper installation. Without proper lubrication the tool will not work properly and parts will
wear prematurely.
1) Keep the tool upright during operation. Connect the tool to the air supply and turn on the air
ON/OFF valve by pushing the deflector ring up. Note: Don't push the trigger.
2) Unscrew the oil fill screw from the body using the hex key included. (Fig 3)
Fig 2
3) Fill the syringe (included) with hydraulic oil.
4) Screw the filled syringe in the oil fill screw hole. Then slowly inject the oil into the tool
(Make sure no air is injected.) 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.
(Fig 4)
5) Unscrew and remove the syringe from the body.

6) Screw the oil fill screw into the hole using the hex key.
7) Wipe off any excess oil.
Cleaning Jaws
To access jaws, remove nose housing to expose pulling mechanism and jaw case (Fig 5).
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 (Fig 6) from pusher. Jaws will then

be loose. Clean jaws with a wire brush. Place a small dab of multi-purpose lithium grease 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.
Head cleaning
Fig 5
Every 10,000 cycles the jaws of the tool should be cleaned and oiled. Disconnect the air supply
and air valve. To access jaws unscrew nose housing then unscrew jaw guide.
Jaws will be loose in jaw guide.
Clean jaws, jaw guide, jaw pusher, spring and thread area of the pulling head. Apply lubricant to
the outside surface of jaws and inside surface of the jaw guide. Reassemble the head by placing
the jaws into the jaw guide. Slide the spring and jaw pusher into the pulling head and screw the
jaw guide onto the pulling head.
