H5502 Benchtop Bending System -11-
Using the riveter:
1.
Mark the hole location.
2. Punch or drill the holes to the proper diame-
ter to accommodate the rivet being used.
3. Move the square handle to open the area
between the press rollers.
4. Place the two pieces of metal to be riveted
together (with the punched or drilled holes
aligned) into the space between the press
rollers (
Figure 10).
5. With the holes aligned, place the rivet in the
hole and center the rivet between the press
rollers.
6. Move the square handle to squeeze the rivet
between the press rollers. The rivet must be
squeezed to expand enough to lock the two
pieces of metal together.
7. When the rivet is set, release the pressure on
the rivet and spread the press rollers apart to
retrieve the riveted workpieces.
Figure 10. Metal placement.
Make sure that the tool is mounted solid
and secure to the work surface. Be aware of
the surroundings when mounting tool, so
that work may be done in all four sides.
Wear safety glasses dur-
ing the entire fabrication
process!
