Proper adjustment of the riveter is necessary for efficient and easy operation.
1. The adjustment of the riveter will vary, depending on the size and type of rivet nut being
used and the hole size.
2. Adjust the riveter by opening the handles outward as far as possible and turning the
sheath clockwise to increase the number of threads on the mandrel protruding beyond
the nosepiece for larger rivet nuts and by turning the sheath counter clockwise for
smaller rivet nuts.
3. Fine adjustment can be made by turning the rivet nut on the mandrel to position the
rivet closer or further away from the nosepiece, as long as the mandrel is threaded all
the way through the rivet nut.
4. Always assure that the mandrel is threaded into all threads of the rivet nut to prevent
damage to the threads on the mandrel and / or the rivet nut.
5. lf the handles are extended too far outward to provide enough leverage to pull the
handles inward to set the rivet nut, turn the sheath clockwise or turn the rivet nut
counter clockwise slightly to change the handle angle to provide the proper leverage.
Adjustment Instructions
Within the set you are supplied with a spanner. This tool can be used to remove the mandrel
nut, remove the sheath and also its washer.
1. Using the spanner supplied place it over the mandrel and hold down the tube to engage
and hold the hex nut. Using another spanner anticlockwise undo the mandrel.
