lll. OPERATION GUIDE:
WARNING: WEAR WORK GLOVES (RUBBER COATED
PREFERRED) FOR GRIPPING THE ADAPTER
WARNING: The objects to be riveted MUST BE
SECURED BEFORE riveting in order to avoid possible
injury. Unsecured objects may rotate with the driving
tool if not secured.
IMPORTANT: Before using the rivet adapter on your
intended workpiece, use the adapter on a blind rivet
without a workpiece by holding the tool in the air to
ensure your drill is powerful enough and on the
correct settings to pop a rivet.
• Note that riveting on a work piece will require at least
20 in. lbs. more torque than this test.
CRITICAL: Your rivet MUST NOT require more than the
maximum stroke limit of this tool, which is 18mm
(0.7"). Ensure your drill is in "driver" mode and not drill
mode.
1. Tool Installation:
Swap the nose piece for the rivet size if the installed
nose piece does not match your intended rivet size,
then tighten it onto the adapter with the wrench.
Check and confirm other components are tightly fixed
in position; insert the hex shank into the driving tool
chuck. Tighten firmly and switch the driving tool to low
speed mode.

2.Riveting:
2.1 Hold the adapter with one hand and operate your
driving tool with the other in REV until an audible clicking
sound comes from the adapter tool.
2.2 Release the trigger; check and confirm from the
inspection hole on the front tube that the plunger tube
inside is at the maximum forward position.
2.3 Insert the rivet mandrel into the center hole of the
nose piece, and make sure the size of the rivet matches
the nose piece.
2.4 Make sure there is no space between the nose piece
and rivet flange.
2.5 Switch to the FWD direction of the driving tool.
2.6 Hold the adapter with one hand and lightly pull the
trigger of the driving tool with your other hand to have
the mandrel slightly gripped by the adapter, preventing
the inserted rivet from falling out.
2.7 Insert the rivet body into the drilled hole where it is to
be riveted, and position the adapter aligned with the hole
as best you can.
2.8 Grip the adapter firmly (
pull the trigger on the driving tool until the mandrel is
popped off of the rivet.
2.9 Reverse the direction of the driving tool to release and
expose the remaining rivet mandrel. Depending on the
greasing of the tools jaw pieces, the mandrel may or may
not fall out on its own.
Tip: Use low RPM for better control of riveting quality.
lV. MAINTENANCE:
1. Cleaning and lubricating:
1.1 The riveting adapter
is lubricated before shipping.
Recommended: cleaning
the components of plunger
tube, and re-lubricating
its parts on at least a
yearly basis.
1.2 Recommended: cleaning the plunger tube and
re-lubricating its parts when replacing worn-out
chuck jaw pieces.
2. Chuck jaw pieces replacement:
life span of chuck jaw pieces varies with usage
frequency and the uses of different rivet sizes/types.
Recommended: replacing the chuck jaw pieces before
they are worn-out to prevent jams.
