Remove the upset RIVKLE from the tool and measure it again, from the head to the end of
the shank. The difference in the overall length, before upset and after, is the present
stroke setting of the tool.
7. To verify that this setting is correct for the application, install the RIVKLE in a sample
sheet of material. Measure the shank length on the back side of the material and compare
this to the "L2" dimension noted in the Rivnut Design Catalog page for this specific insert.
Adjust the stroke length as needed to achieve the proper "L2" dimension.
To set up the tool for different RIVKLE diameters, it is necessary to change the anvil and
mandrel.

1. MAKE SURE THE AIR SUPPLY IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE TOOL.
2. Hold the nose piece (#24) of the tool stationary and loosen the anvil lock nut. Remove the
anvil & lock nut from the tool.
3. Hold the adjusting ring (#38) stationary. Unscrew and remove the nose piece (#24).
4. Using a pin punch and small hammer, push out the mandrel pin (#26). Be careful not to
damage the spring ring (#30). Remove the mandrel from the tool.
5. Slide the new mandrel into position, align the holes and reinstall mandrel pin (#26). The
pin is held in place by the spring ring.
6. Reinstall the nose piece (#24).
7. Reset anvil position and stroke setting per previous instructions for the new RIVKLE to be
installed.
8. Tighten nose piece to approx. 11 foot pounds (15NM) torque.
