4. How to adjust the setting stroke or setting force
The Blind rivet nut gun may either be operated using a firmly adjusted setting stroke or by
using a setting force that is adjusted to the respective nut size.
When is this necessary?
In all cases where the same blind rivet nut size and length are set into the same material thick-
ness it is possible to apply a constant setting stroke.
4.1 How to adjust the setting stroke
To adjust the setting stroke, follow the 4
operational steps below:
1. Insert set screw 9 (image 2) all the way to
the buffer, using the supplied hexagon
screw driver
2. Press down completely thr green release
button 6
3. Adjust the setting stroke according to scale
5 by turning the stroke adjuster. (1 line of
the scale equals 1 mm of setting stroke)
4. Release the green release button. If release
button 6 does not lock of its own accord,
turn the stroke adjuster carefully until
stroke adjuster 4 is locked.
The values for the setting stroke shown on the table below merely constitute reference points
and depend greatly on the thickness of the material! The setting stroke to be set must be deter-
mined by carrying out trials with the exact material thickness. Use a different nut for each trial!

4.2 How to adjust the setting force
When is this necessary?
• Necessary in all cases where a blind rivet nut size (e.g. M6) is set into materials of varying
thicknesses
• In all cases where a blind rivet nut size of varying lengths (e.g. M6x15.5 or M6x18) is
set into materials of varying thicknesses.
