Usage Features
The operation of the MS-2624PT tool involves several steps, emphasizing safety and proper setup:
Before Startup:
- Nose Assembly Selection: Choose the correct nose assembly for the specific fastener.
- Hydraulic System Connection: Turn off the hydraulic system and disconnect power. Connect the tool hoses to the tool.
- Control Switch Connection: Connect the tool's control switch electrical cord to the hydraulic unit.
- Power On and Fluid Circulation: Connect the hydraulic unit to power, turn it on, and press the tool's trigger a few times to circulate hydraulic fluid. Check for leaks.
- Pressure Adjustment: Check and adjust PULL and PUSH pressures to the proper settings if necessary.
Nose Assembly to Tool:
The nose assembly is a critical component that needs to be correctly assembled:
- Install the ejector into the anvil's hole.
- Install the guiding sleeve into the rubber jaw's hole.
- Install the rubber jaw into the collect assembly.
- Use circlip pliers to install retaining ring-45 to the rear end of the guiding sleeve, fixing it in the collect assembly.
- Thread the collect assembly to the piston.
- Tighten the 3 set screws from the piston.
- Install the anvil into the collect assembly.
- Lock in the anvil and the cylinder assembly with retaining ring-56.
Installation Sequence:
- Insert the rivet into the hole.
- Insert the nose into the pintail of the rivet and hold it against the collar of the rivet.
- Press and hold the trigger to swage the collar.
- Release the trigger when the rivet breaks.
Safety Rules:
- Always read the entire manual carefully.
- Keep the tool away from flammable liquids, gases, dust, fire, and heat sources.
- Do not operate around children or unauthorized personnel.
- Maintain focus and attention; do not operate under the influence of fatigue, drugs, alcohol, or medical treatment.
- Always wear safety goggles, dust mask, anti-skid shoes, safety helmet, and ear protection.
- Dress properly; avoid loose clothes or jewelry, and keep hair away from moving parts.
- Do not drop or abuse the tool.
- Keep tools away from children and unauthorized users.
- Inspect moving parts for damage before use.
- Use proper tools, nose assemblies, and accessories from Meishan.
- Ear protection is required.
- Inspect the collect assembly for wear, cracks, or visible damage before use.
- Hold the tool firmly with both hands.
- Maintain a balanced body position and secure footing.
- When operating at height, ensure no one is beneath you.
- Use the correct nose assembly for different rivet types.
- Avoid continuous running for more than 10 minutes; take a 3-minute break after 10 minutes of continuous use.
Maintenance Features
Proper maintenance is crucial for the tool's longevity and performance.
Cautions:
- Disconnect the tool from the power source before any maintenance.

Troubleshooting Guidance:
The manual provides a comprehensive troubleshooting guide for common issues:
- Tool fails to operate: Check hydraulic system, hose coupling, and trigger assembly.
- Tool operates in reverse: Check hose connections.
- Tool leaks hydraulic fluid: Replace O-rings or tighten hoses.
- Hydraulic fluid overheats: Check hydraulic unit operation.
- Tool operates erratically or fails to install fastener properly: Check hydraulic pressure, piston O-ring, sliding surfaces, and ensure anvil is correctly positioned on the pintail.
- Pull grooves on fastener pintail stripped: Check fastener grip, jaw segments, jaw grooves for debris, sheet gap, and PULL pressure.
- Collar not completely swaged: Check tool operation and anvil condition.
- Tool "hangs up" on swaged collar: Check tool operation and anvil condition.
- Jaw in wrong position: Check and re-install the spring.
In case of unsolvable problems, disconnect power and consult Meishan's technicians.
