Overview

The DOYLE 10" PROFESSIONAL RIVET NUT SETTER KIT is a specialized hand tool designed for installing rivet nuts. This manual provides comprehensive instructions for its safe operation, assembly, inspection, maintenance, and cleaning. It emphasizes the importance of saving the manual and receipt for future reference, noting that the product's serial number (or month and year of purchase if no serial number is present) should be recorded.

Function Description:

The primary function of the DOYLE 10" PROFESSIONAL RIVET NUT SETTER KIT is to efficiently install rivet nuts into pre-drilled holes. Rivet nuts, also known as blind rivet nuts or threaded inserts, are used to create a threaded hole in thin materials where a tapped thread is not possible or practical. The tool operates by pulling the rivet nut's body, causing it to expand and grip the material, thereby creating a secure, load-bearing thread. This allows for the attachment of other components using standard screws or bolts. The kit is designed for professional use, suggesting durability and reliability in demanding applications.

Important Safety Information:

The manual stresses several critical safety precautions to prevent serious injury. Users are advised to set up the tool strictly according to the provided instructions, as improper setup can create hazards. Wearing ANSI-approved safety goggles and heavy-duty work gloves during both setup and use is mandatory. Maintaining a clean and well-lit work area and keeping bystanders away during operation are also emphasized. Users should not operate the tool when tired or under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or medication. The product is explicitly stated not to be a toy, and children should not be allowed to play with it. The tool is intended for its specified use only, and users must inspect it before every use, refraining from use if any parts are loose or damaged.

Important Technical Specifications:

The DOYLE 10" PROFESSIONAL RIVET NUT SETTER KIT is compatible with a range of nut rivet sizes, including both imperial and metric measurements. Specifically, it can accommodate:

  • Imperial Sizes: 10-24, 1/4-20, 5/16-18
  • Metric Sizes: M5, M6, and M8

These specifications indicate the versatility of the tool across various applications requiring different fastener sizes. The "10"" in the product name likely refers to the overall length of the tool, suggesting a size that provides sufficient leverage for effective rivet nut installation.

Usage Features:

The operation of the rivet nut setter involves two main stages: mandrel installation and rivet installation.

Mandrel Installation:

  1. Remove Nut using Wrench: The first step requires the user to remove the existing nut from the tool using a wrench. This nut secures the mandrel in place.
  2. Remove Mandrel: After removing the nut, the current mandrel can be detached from the tool.
  3. Install Desired Mandrel and Nut: The user then selects the appropriate mandrel that matches the size of the rivet nut to be used. This mandrel is installed into the tool, and the corresponding nut is used to secure it firmly. This ensures that the tool is correctly configured for the specific rivet nut size.

Rivet Installation:

  1. Open Handles and Thread Rivet onto Mandrel: To begin the rivet installation process, the tool's handles are opened, and the chosen rivet nut is threaded onto the installed mandrel.
  2. Insert Rivet Through Predrilled Hole: The rivet nut, now attached to the mandrel, is then inserted through a pre-drilled hole in the material where it is to be secured.
  3. Squeeze Handles Together to Secure Rivet: The user then squeezes the tool's handles together. This action pulls the mandrel, causing the rivet nut to deform and expand against the back side of the material, creating a strong, permanent thread.
  4. Twist Riveter Down to Remove It: Once the rivet nut is securely installed, the riveter is twisted downwards to disengage the mandrel from the newly set rivet nut. This ensures a clean release without damaging the installed rivet nut.

The manual notes that replacement parts are not available, and provides a UPC reference (193175432124). Users are also encouraged to record the serial number or the month and year of purchase for warranty purposes.

Maintenance Features:

While the manual does not explicitly detail specific maintenance procedures, the "Save This Manual" section indicates that it covers "inspection, maintenance and cleaning procedures." The "Important Safety Information" section also advises users to "Inspect before every use; do not use if parts are loose or damaged." This implies that regular visual inspection for wear, damage, or loose components is a key aspect of maintaining the tool's safety and functionality. Given that replacement parts are not available, proper care and handling to prevent damage would be crucial for the longevity of the tool. The "Life Time Warranty" section, while primarily about warranty claims, also indirectly suggests that proper maintenance (or lack thereof) can affect the warranty, as it states the warranty "does not apply to damage due directly or indirectly, to misuse, abuse, negligence or accidents, repairs or alterations outside our facilities, criminal activity, improper installation, normal wear and tear, or to lack of maintenance." This reinforces the importance of user responsibility in maintaining the tool.
