2. Set the selected setting value on the display
Wake up the tool by briefly pressing switch I. Important! Threaded mandrel A turns when the
switch is pressed! Hold the tool only at the handle.
Remove cover F, then set the selected value on the display G by pressing the plus or minus
buttons. Pressing the plus button increases the numerical value. Pressing the minus button
decreases the numerical value. If a button is held down for longer than one second, the nu-
merical value changes in increments of 10.
The setting force of the riveting tool is increased by increasing the numerical value on display
G; the setting force is reduced by reducing the numerical value.
3. Carry out a few setting trial and adjust the setting value, if necessary
Important! As the setting behaviour can vary, depending on the blind rivet nut type, manufac-
turer or material thickness, a setting trial is recommended before riveting the selected part.
This should - if possible - be carried out on the original part.
Carry out the setting trial as described in section 2.7, then assess the setting result:
Blind rivet nut not completely set
- Blind rivet nut not sufficiently deformed or closing head not completely formed
 Increase the setting value in small increments
Blind rivet nut set with excessive force
- Thread deformed or stripped (automatic unscrewing no longer possible, see section 3.2)
- Threaded mandrel bent or broken
 Reduce the setting value Blind rivet
Nut correctly set
- Closing head completely formed, thread not damaged
After adjusting the setting value, carry out a further setting trial and assess the setting result.
Important! If the correct setting value is not known or if in doubt, always start with
lower values in order to avoid damaging the tool!
