WARNING

Always wear ANSI approved safety goggles when using this

product (Users and Bystanders). Failure to read and follow all

warnings and operating instructions may result in damages and

serious injuries or death.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Choose the rivet nut size to be installed.

2. Install the correct size mandrel/nosepiece for the rivet nut to

be installed. See photos and instructions for changing the

mandrel/nosepiece and adjustment.

3. Drill a hole in the work product the same size or slightly larger

than the outside diameter of the rivet nut to be installed.

4. To install the rivet nut, open the handles outward as far as

possible and thread the rivet nut clockwise onto the mandrel

until reaching the nosepiece.

5. Insert the rivet nut fastened to the riveter into the pre-drilled

hole until flush with the work product, and pull handles inward

to secure the rivet nut into the hole. If the rivet nut is loose in

the hole, open the handles outward, turn #19 knob clockwise,

and pull handles inward until the rivet nut is secure in the

hole. Repeat as necessary until the rivet nut is secure in the

hole. See adjustment instructions if necessary.

6. Turn the #19 knob counterclockwise until the mandrel is

removed from the rivet nut. The rivet nut installation is

complete if the rivet nut is secure from movement in the hole.

CHANGING MANDREL/

1. Remove and install the mandrel and nosepieces. Always

keep the matched mandrel/nosepiece sets together.

3. Using your thumbnail or tool, press down to depress the #6

inner hexagonal sleeve that sits within the #3 outer sleeve.

This should expose the lower hex portion of the mandrel.

4. Unthread the mandrel by hand to remove it from the sleeve.

Once the mandrel has been threaded out far enough to clear

the #6 hex sleeve you may release tension on this sleeve

collar.

5. Choose the correct mandrel/nosepiece to be installed.

6. Thread the new mandrel into the tool by hand until it

approaches the #6 hex sleeve and fully depress this sleeve

to allow the mandrel to be threaded further until it stops.

The mandrel does not need to be torqued. Release the

hex sleeve and allow it to fully reengage the mandrel. If the

mandrel and hex sleeve do not initially align, rotate the #19

knob while holding onto the mandrel until it clicks up and

reengages.

7. Thread the matching nose piece into the #3 by hand.

Torqueing the nose piece is optional.
