6. OPERATION
Pop Rivets
6.1.
6.1.1.
Select the mandrel (fig.2.A) which matches the shaft diameter of the rivet and screw it to the nosepiece (fig.2.B) of the riveter.
6.1.2.
With the riveter handles extended and open, fully insert the rivet shaft into the mandrel.
6.1.3.
Place rivet in hole in the workpiece and squeeze the riveter handles closed to deform the rivet.
6.1.4.
If the rivet stem does not shear, open the handles, push the riveter further onto the stem and then close the handles again.
6.1.5.
When the stem shears, open the handles and remove the stem from the riveter.
6.2.
Threaded Nut Rivets
6.2.1.
Unscrew the pop rivet nosepiece (fig.2.B) from the riveter body.
6.2.2.
Unscrew the jaw case assembly (fig.5) from the draw bar body (fig.2.F).
6.2.3.
Screw the nut rivet nosepiece (fig.3.C) into the riveter body.
6.2.4.
Screw the appropriate mandrel bar (fig.3.D) into the draw bar body. Note left-hand thread.
6.2.5.
Screw the corresponding mandrel (fig.3.E) into the nosepiece.
NOTE: Always use mandrel and mandrel bar of the same size, determined by the size of nut rivet. To ensure that the nut rivet is
compressed by the correct amount it is necessary to set the height of the mandrel by doing the following test.
6.2.6.
Prepare a sample of the workpiece material with a hole slightly larger than the nut rivet diameter.
6.2.7.
Screw the nut rivet fully onto the mandrel bar.
6.2.8.
Place the nut rivet in the hole in the sample and press down so that the nut flange is held firmly against the face of the sample.
6.2.9.
Squeeze the riveter handles to compress the nut rivet. When the rivet has formed a retaining bulge against the rear face of the sample
(fig.4) keep light pressure on the handles and screw in the mandrel (fig.3.E).until the handles are closed. Lock the mandrel in position by
tightening the lock nut. All following rivets will be deformed to the same degree when the handles are fully closed.The setting applies only
to the one rivet size and the one workpiece thickness - the test must be repeated each time there is a change in nut size and/or
workpiece thickness.
6.2.10.
Unscrew the mandrel bar from the nut rivet by turning the knurled end of the draw bar body (fig.2.F) and then screw on a new nut rivet for
the next operation.

7. MAINTENANCE
7.1.
Keep all pivots lightly oiled.
7.1.1.
The jaw case assembly (fig.5) should be disassembled, cleaned and oiled at regular intervals, depending on the frequency of use. The
need for either cleaning or jaw replacement (fig.5.A) will be indicated by the riveter failing to grip the rivet shaft.
