PNT800 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.

PNT800 2. Outline The PNT800 is a small, light tool for fastening Pop Nuts. It is driven by compressed air. Table 2-1 lists the Pop Nuts that can be fastened using this tool. The nosepiece and mandrel must be changed to fit some sizes of Pop Nut. (See table 2-2) Table 2-1 Pop Nuts that can be fastened using this tool Size Pop nut type...

PNT800 4. Preparations for use 1. Check that the right nosepiece and mandrel are fitted for the Pop Nut. Adjust the protruding length of the mandrel. (Refer to page 15 for details of replacement and adjustment). 2. The coupling diameter of the compressed air supply coupling is Rc 1/4. Connect a joint or coupler of connection diameter R1/4 to supply compressed air.

PNT800 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 0.5~0.6 MPa. If the compressed air pressure used exceeds the range above, this tool will break down and accident or injury could result.
PNT800 6. How to use the PNT800 Before setting Pop Nuts with this tool, refer to the section "4. Preparations for use" on pages seven and eight. 《Procedure》 1. Mounting When the Pop Nut is gripped gently and pressed by the mandrel with a force of approximately 49N or more, the mandrel turns clockwise.
Page 14
PNT800 2. Fastening and detachment Push the Pop Nut perpendicularly into the hole in the base material and pull the trigger (Figure 6-3). 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 6-4).
Page 15
PNT800 3. Stopping the mandrel's counterclockwise rotation. Release the trigger to stop the mandrel (Figure 6-7). Trigger Release Figure 6-9 Figure 6-8 Figure 6-7 Regular mandrel cleaning and lubricant -Clean the mandrel after every 50〜60 fastenings. (See Figures 6-8 and 6-9) 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.
PNT800 (2) 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 6-11).

PNT800 (6) Adjust the total length of the assembly to 66±0.1mm, and tighten the lock screw on the control knob hard. (Figure 7-12) (Figure 7-12) (7) Push the assembly into the body of the tool, and reverse the above procedure to reassemble all parts. (8) Loosen the lock screw on the control nut and turn the control knob to the right until the control nut stops at the end of its movement, and then tighten the lock screw.

PNT800 4. Oil replacement If the stroke gets too short due to a lack of hydraulic oil (if a proper caulk stroke is impossible, even after stroke adjustment), follow the procedure below to replace the hydraulic oil. If the stroke again becomes inadequate immediately after replacement of oil, the oil seal must be replaced.
