Sioux Tools CN9BL Instructions-Parts List Manual

INSTRUCTIONS & PARTS LIST FOR CN9BL CLINCH NUT TOOLS
Read and understand "Safety Instructions For Air Tools" and these instructions before operating
AIR SUPPLY
The efficiency of the tool is dependent on the proper supply of clean dry air. The use of a line filter, pressure regulator, and
lubricator will ensure maximum output and life of tools. Before connecting tool, blow out the air line to remove water and dirt that
may have accumulated.
HOSE AND HOSE CONNECTIONS
Supply hose should be not less than 1/4" (6.4 mm) I.D. Extension hoses should be at least 3/8" (10 mm) I.D. Use couplings and
fittings with at least 3/8" (10mm) I.D.
LUBRICATION
Use SIOUX No. 288 air motor oil. An airline lubricator, set to deliver 2 to 4 drops per minute, is recommended. If a lubricator is
not used, add .04 oz. (1.2cc, 12 to 15 drops) of oil into the air inlet twice daily.
Lubricate the gearing after every 100 hours of operation with SIOUX No. 289A grease.
Every 100 hours grease the thrust bearing in the head. Push in on the arbor or stud puller, and add 2-3 pumps of Sioux 1232A
grease through the fitting. Pushing in on the arbor will allow the grease to flow between the washers and bearing in the head.
GENERAL OPERATION
Start the tool by depressing the lever.
The direction of spindle rotation is controlled by the reversing button. When the button is depressed, the spindle
rotates counterclockwise. Always depress the button fully to obtain full power.
To Install A Fastener.
Control the tool with the lever and the reverse button. A few practice cycles will help to become familiar with the operation.
When using this tool, the reaction torque may cause the tool to move in your hand.
1. Load a fastener.
Thread the fastener head first onto the screw. Be sure the head contacts the nose piece.
2. Upset a fastener.
Place the fastener into a prepared hole. Pull the lever. The screw will thread into the fastener, causing it to upset.
Proper upset of the fastener depends on the air pressure at the tool. A small fastener will require a lower pressure than a
large one. Upset several fasteners to determine the right air pressure for your fastener size and material thickness.
3. Remove the tool from the fastener.
After the fastener is upset, release the lever, press the reverse button and pull the lever. This will cause the tool to reverse
and unthread the screw from the fastener. Make sure the screw is completely unthreaded from the fastener be for removing
the tool from the work.
The tool must be held at right angles to the work during the entire upset/removal cycle. Failure to do this will result in
SERIAL "A"
this tool.
Be prepared for this movement.
Unexpected tool movement can cause injury.
excessive screw breakage and/or fastener damage.
