Start-Up and Operation
Prior to start-up, read and follow the GAV operat-
ing instructions and safety information. Also ob-
serve the generally applicable Occupational
Health and Safety Regulations.
Start-up
- Connect the device to the compressed air sup-
ply system.
- Set the operating pressure at the pressure re-
ducer valve to 6 bar, check on pressure gauge.
- Connect the power supply.
- Switch on the device at the master switch.
- Fill the vibration feed container half full with
blind rivets and switch on the vibration feed unit
(button F4, see Section 8 "Operation").
- Set the separator tongue at the setting screw
such that only one blind rivet at a time is sepa-
rated.
- Press "ON" button.
- Trigger blind riveting gun twice ("Cycle" func-
tion in "MAN" menu). The first blind rivet is
transferred to the spreader nosepiece.
As per the delivery specifications, the device is set
up for a certain size of blind rivet. Nevertheless
make sure that
- the inside diameter of the rivet feed hose is 2 - 3
mm larger than the setting head diameter of the
blind rivet (max. setting head diameter 11.4 mm)
- the hole of the spreader nosepiece 2-80 is 0.3
mm larger than the mandrel diameter of the blind
rivet. Spreader nosepieces with a cylindrical ex-
tension of up to 15 mm are available for difficult
to access riveting points (note length of blind riv-
et mandrel)
- the holding force of the spreader nosepiece 2-80
can be increased if necessary by fitting additional
O-rings.
