• The setting stroke y is adjusted by screwing the setting nut D in and out.
Important:
• Initially adjust the setting stroke y to the “min.” value and then set a blind rivet nut.
• If the blind rivet nut does not form a distinct closing as shown in Fig. 4 , increase the
setting stroke y in steps.
• Secure the setting nut D with lock nut E.
2.8 Functional principle
• Ensuring it is straight, set the blind rivet nut against the threaded mandrel A.
• Keep switch K pressed until the tool stops; then release.
• Hold the blind rivet nut during the entire screwing operation.
• Repeat the procedure if the blind rivet nut does not rest against the nosepiece B after
the screw-on operation. Hold the blind rivet nut and briey press the switch K to start the
screw-on operation. Now repeat the screw-on operation!
2.8.1 Screwing on a blind rivet nut
2.8.2 Setting a blind rivet nut
• Insert the screwed-on blind rivet nut as far as it will go into the rivet hole.
• Press and hold switch K until the setting and automatic screw-on procedure is nished.
