Gesipa FireFox2 - Sequence of Operations; How to Wind Down a Nut; How to Set the Blind Rivet Nut

In these cases the Blind rivet nut gun should be
adjustedtoaforcesuitablefortherespective
blind rivet nut size (e.g.M6). This ensures that
all blind rivet nuts of certain dimensions (e.g.
M6) but with differing nut lengths are always
set precisely as intended into materials of vary-
ing thicknesses.
Toadjustthesettingforce,followthesequence
of operations below:
1. Press down completely green release
button 6.
2.Adjustthesettingstroketomaximum
stroke of 10 mm (until all lines on the scale
become visible).
3. Unscrew set screw 9 (image 2) until the
 frontedgeofthesetscrew9projects
approx. 10 mm from the device face.
4. Winding down the blind rivet nut to be set
(See item 4.1)
Insert the blind rivet nut into the material to
be riveted. For materials of varying thick-
nesses it is advisable to select maximum
material thickness.
5. Trigger a setting sequence by pressing the
activation button. If the nut becomes
deformed during this process use a
hexagon screw driver SW4 to drive in
the set screw by c. 1 to 2 rotations.

Turning in setscrew 9 increases the setting force of the rivet tool; unscrewing
decreases the setting force!
Findingthebestsettingforcerequiresdelicateadjustmentsbyturninginsetscrew9,repeatingthe
entire setting process (winding down – setting process) time and again until a perfect deformation
of the blind rivet nut has been achieved.

held down. Do not release activation button be-
fore the threaded mandrel has been completely
removed from the set nut.
