3.0 Before Using This Device
Before using the PR-5 Cordless Rivet System, perform a visual check of the charger, the batteries and the entire
rivet gun along with the arms, punches and dies. This visual inspection should be done before each use. Verify that the
connection for the battery is good. Check all components carefully in order to guarantee safety.
3.1 Battery Charging
• Each battery can charge and discharge for approximately 600 cycles. After 600 cycles, the battery will
need to be replaced. When you notice the life of each battery charged gets shorter, this is a good
indication that the battery needs replacement. Do not discharge the battery completely, it will
damage the battery.
• If the rivet gun will not be used for a long period of time, the battery should be removed. Every couple
of months, the batteries should be fully charged without interruption. If the rivet gun will not be
used for extended periods of time, the batteries should be charged to 80% at the time of storage.
• Do not burn a battery in any situation, possible explosion and personal injury may occur.
• The PR-5 Cordless Rivet System and all of its components should never be exposed to rain or extremely
humid environments. Exposing any part of the electrical system will increase the risk of electrical
shock.
• Do not disassemble the rivet gun, the batteries or the charger. If any issues occur during usage, you
should contact your distributor or Pro Spot Headquarters for authorized repairs.
3.2 Device Operation
• Check if there are any visible breaks, missing components, adjustment issues or any other issues which
will cause a safety problem or prevent operation. Any issues found must be resolved before the
riveter is to be used.
• The stop screws in the arm are used to prevent the arm from being removed during operation. Verify
that the stop screws are tight before use. The stop screws should only be removed when
changing to a different sized arm.
• The inner safety valve has passed a strict pressure test at the factory. The inner safety valve should not
be adjusted without authorization. If you find that out pressure is not enough, please contact your
local distributor or Pro Spot Headquarters for authorized support.
• The rivet gun should be free of grease and dirt, especially on the handle and trigger to prevent it from
slipping out of your hand during use.
4.0 Maintenance and Repair
Please do not disassemble any of the components without authorization. Any damage caused by misuse or
disassembly is not covered under warranty.
• Keep the rivet gun dry. If the device happens to get wet, remove the battery and only install the
battery after the entire rivet gun is 100% dry.
• Do not use or store the device in extreme hot or cold temperatures. Both conditions will cause
plastic housing to deform, shorten the service life of the electronic components and damage
the battery.
