stroke setting
5.3.1.
tool stroke should be set according to the thickness of the work piece into which the rivet nut is to be set. the tool's stroke can be
adjusted between 1mm and 8mm. Push the sleeve towards the mandrel, see fig.9.
Fig.9
5.3.2.
Adjust the tool stroke by turning the knurled wheel as shown in figs. 10 & 11. The scale along the window are the settings for stroke.
Push the sleeve back to its original position after setting.
5.3.3.
To establish a precise stroke setting, it is recommended to set a trial rivet nut. Refer to fig.12 and repeat the operations until the stroke
has been correctly set.
5.3.4.
in the case of the stroke being too long, it could be that the rivet nut can not be released from the mandrel after setting. to release
the tool from a damaged rivet nut use a piece of 3mm steel wire or equivalent, inserted into the hole on the nose pedestal. turn it
clockwise to release the rivet nut, fig.13.
6. OperatiOn
6.1.
After preparation and stroke setting (see section 5), put the rivet nut into the pre-drilled work piece hole.
6.2.
insert the mandrel into the rivet nut, push the tool and the mandrel will be automatically turned into the rivet nut.
6.3.
Pull the trigger to set the rivet into the work piece.
6.4.
After setting the rivet nut, release the trigger and the mandrel will turn anticlockwise and the tool will be released from the set rivet nut.
6.5.
in case the tool is still not released from the set rivet nut, press the red button at the back of the compressed spring pedestal, then the
tool will be released.
6.6.
Optional use of air flow adjuster fig.14
6.6.1.
The air flow adjuster changes the direction of the air flow released from the tool during operation and does not affect performance.
6.6.2.
it can be directed to operator's preference.
6.6.3.
the red button can still be reached through the window to release the tool when necessary, see 6.5.
7.
maintenance
7.1.
After several weeks of working add a few drops of oil into the inlet
on the inlet of the air adaptor, fig.15.
7.2.
hydraulic oil top up/replacement
7.2.1.
if after a period of use the tool's stroke is reduced, the tool's hydraulic
oil may need to be refilled or replaced.
