      Safety Precautions -Read all the safety precautions carefully before you use this tool and observe them carefully in practice. -The safety precautions are classified as follows: WARNING! Incorrect operation caused by failure to observe this type of precaution could cause death or serious injury. Caution! Incorrect operation caused by failure to observe this type of precaution could cause injury or physical damage.
  • Page 4 Caution! 1. Before servicing this tool, replacing any of its parts, or otherwise assembling or disassembling it, disconnect all compressed air couplings to make sure it is not supplied with compressed air. If you start to work on this tool while it is supplied with compressed air, parts or oil could fly out or the tool could start moving unexpectedly, causing accident or injury.
  • Page 5 10. Never use organic solvents on the handle, rear case, front case and trigger (these parts are all made of polycarbonate). Breakage of these parts above could cause parts to fly off, causing accident or injury. 11. Wear protective gloves while using this tool. Your fingers or hands could get trapped or squashed in the mandrel, causing accident or injury.

  • Page 9: 4.Preparations For Use

    4. Preparations for use (1) Check that the right nose piece and mandrel are fitted for the Pop Nut you are going to use. Adjust the protruding length of the mandrel. (Refer to page 16 for details of replacement and adjustment). (2) [1] The coupling diameter of the compressed air supply coupling is Rc 1/4.
  • Page 10 (3) Adjustment of the caulk stroke Adjust the caulk stroke (the degree of fastening) to match the Pop Nut size and the base material thickness you will be working with. Procedure (i) Standard stroke adjustment (Refer to p.10) Refer to the t-m graph (where t is the base material thickness and m is the caulk stroke) to find the standard stroke for the Pop Nut you are using and the base material thickness.
  • Page 11 (ii) Rough adjustment of caulk stroke (scale units: mm) [1] Use the hexagonal wrench provided (1.5mm) to loosen the lock screw on the control nut and turn the control knob to the right (increase) or left (decrease) to align the end of the control nut with the scale.

  • Page 13 5. Precautions on use The following precautions must be observed to ensure that the performance and service life of this tool are maintained. (1) Use the correct compressed air pressure Use compressed air at a pressure in the range 0.49~0.59MPa (5.0~6.0kgf/cm If the compressed air pressure used exceeds the range above, this tool will break down and accident or injury could result.
  • Page 14: 6.How To Use The Pnt600

    6. How to use the PNT600 Before you start fastening Pop Nuts with this tool, refer to the section "4. Preparations for use" on pages six and seven. Procedure (1) Mounting When the Pop Nut is gripped gently and pressed by the mandrel with a force of approximately 0.5kN or more, the mandrel turns clockwise.
  • Page 15 (2) Fastening and detachment Push the Pop Nut perpendicularly into the hole in the base material and pull the trigger (Figure 6-2). Keep pulling the trigger throughout fastening and detachment. Otherwise, detachment cannot be completed. The Pop Nut is fastened and the tool automatically switches to counterclockwise rotation to detach from the Pop Nut (Figure 6-3).
  • Page 16 (3) Stopping the mandrel's counterclockwise rotation. Release the trigger to stop the mandrel (Figure 6-4).     Trigger Release   Figure 6-6 Figure 6-5 Figure 6-4 Regular mandrel cleaning and lubricant -Clean the mandrel after every 50~60 fastenings.(See Figures 6-5 and 6-6.) After fastening tens of Pop Nuts, metal fragments can stick to the mandrel and it can run short of lubrication, making it impossible to mount Pop Nuts smoothly.
  • Page 17: 7.Maintenance And Testing

    (ii) If the Pop Nut jams and the strength of the air motor is insufficient to detach the mandrel. [1] Detach the coupler to stop the supply of compressed air. [2] Line up the female screw of the lock pin holder with the hole in the side of the nose housing and screw the cap screw provided (M4×20) into the lock pin holder (Figure 6-8).
  • Page 18 2. Mandrel replacement, nose piece replacement and mandrel protrusion length adjustment Use the designated parts to match the Pop Nut you will be using. (See p.5 table 2-2) Replace any parts that become worn or damaged. (i) Mandrel replacement Procedure (1) Detach the coupler to stop the supply of compressed air.
  • Page 19 (3) Screw the lock nut and nose piece into the nose housing. (4) Screw a Pop Nut onto the mandrel and adjust the nose piece so that approximately one thread of the mandrel screw thread extends beyond the Pop Nut (Figure 7-5). (5) Screw the lock nut and the nose housing together to fasten the nose piece in the place.
  • Page 20 (6) Replace the broken parts and reassemble the assembly (Figure 7-5). Push the control knob and control nut as far as they will go onto the push rod of the T valve and tighten the lock screws to fasten them in place. (7) Push the completed assembly into the body of the tool and reverse the above procedure to reassemble all parts.
  • Page 21 (11) Loosen the lock screw of the control nut and turn the control knob to the right until it stops. Tighten the lock screw again and recheck the stroke. If the stroke is between 0.8mm and 1.2mm, adjustment is complete. (Figure 7-9) 4.

  • Page 23 (7) Once you have finished topping up the hydraulic oil, line up the air piston assembly and the tube insertion hole in the handle lore and push the tube into place (Figure 7-16). Pass the tube into the tube insertion holes in the air piston assembly and the handle core (Figure 7-17).
