Working with the blind riveting tool - basic principles Risk of injury Route all supply lines in a manner that prevents people from tripping over them. Correctly route and attach the compressed air hose. If a compressed air hose whips around wildly, it could cause severe bodily injury.
Maintenance The tool‘s hydraulic system, pneumatic control systems, hoses and couplings must all be kept free of dirt and other contamination. Foreign bodies in the hydraulic fluid or in the control air will cause the tool system to malfunction. All maintenance and service work on the blind riveting tool must only be per- formed with the pressure generator disconnected.

Page 35
4.9.5 4.9.6 4.9.5/4.9.6 Start the riveting operation by pressing the lever on the Compact Booster. Draw the mandrel into the tool. The projecting part of the mandrel breaks at the front side at the intended breaking point. This causes the rivet material to spread out around the rivet head on the opposite side.
4.10 Replacing the rivet head 4.10.1 4.10.2 4.10.1/4.10.2 When changing the rivet head, the replacement rivet head must be hand-tightened with the assembly wrench.

4.13 Emptying the mandrel collector 4.13.1 4.13.2 4.13.3 4.13.4 4.13.1 Press the mandrel collector towards the blind riveting tool, as shown in the laser engraving. 4.13.2 – 4.13.4 Turn the mandrel collector to open the recovery aperture to allow the mandrels to be removed.
4.14 Maintenance and cleaning 4.13.5 4.14.1 4.14.2 4.14.3 4.13.5 To close, press the mandrel collector towards the riveting tool, as shown in the laser engraving. Turn the mandrel collector to close the recovery aperture. 4.14.1 – 4.14.3 Disconnect the blind riveting tool from the operating unit and/or the high-pressure coupling. Remove the high-pressure coupling from the Compact Booster.
Page 48
4.14 Maintenance and cleaning 4.14.4 4.14.4 Remove the conical grip from the housing. If a cone is left behind the piston and the seal, both the tool and cone will be damaged.
Page 49
Clean and check the gripper teeth on the conical grip. Replace the conical grip if it is blunt. Rounded teeth can cause faulty operation or damage to the tool. Never use compressed air to clean the tool casing. This will result in dirt being blown into the seals.
