OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
For safe operation. please read completely
PLEASE NOTE
Failure to understand WARNINGS may
cause severe personal injury.
Failure to understand CAUTIONS may
cause damage to structure and tool.
For additional safety information, see
safety section at front of manual.
WARNING
To avoid severe personal injury, be sure
of adequate clearance for operator’s
hands before proceeding with fastener
installation.
HUCKBOL
T® Fastener Installation:
WARNING
Do not pull on a pin without placing
fastener/collar in a workpiece, and also,
collar chamfer MUST
be out toward
tool
- - these conditions cause pin to eject
with great velocity and force when the
pintail breaks off or teeth/grooves strip.
This may cause severe personal injury.
CAUTION
Remove excess gap from between the
sheets. This permits enough pintail to
emerge from collar for ALL jaw teeth to
engage with pintail - - if ALL teeth do
not engage properly, jaws will be
damaged.
Place pin in workpiece and place collar
over pin - - see WARNING. (If Collar has
only one tapered end, that end MUST
be
out toward tool - - not next to sheet.) Hold
pin and push nose assembly onto pin
protruding through collar until nose anvil
touches collar. Depress trigger - - hold
trigger depressed until collar is swaged and
pintail breaks. Release trigger. Tool will
go into its return stroke. Tool/nose are
ready for next installation cycle.
Blind Fastener Installation:
WARNING
Do not pull on a pin without placing
fastener in a workpiece - - fastener will
eject from front with velocity and force
when pintail breaks off or teeth/grooves
strip - - this may cause severe personal
injury.
CAUTION
Remove excess gap from between the
sheets to permit correct fastener
installation and prevent jaw damage.
ALL jaw teeth must engage pintail to
avoid damaging teeth.
Fastener may be placed in workpiece or In
end of nose assembly - - see WARNING.
In either case, tool/nose must be held
against work and at right angles to it.
Depress trigger - - hold trigger depressed
until fastener is installed and pintail
breaks. Release trigger. Tool will go into
its return stroke. Tool/nose are ready for
next installation cycle.
CAUTIONS
BOM® blind fasteners jam in nose
assembly if pulled when not in
workpiece.
To avoid structural and tool damage, be
sure enough clearance is allowed for
nose assembly at full stroke.
Do not abuse tool by dropping it, using
it as a hammer or otherwise causing
unnecessary wear and tear.
Reasonable care of tools by operators is
an important factor in maintaining
efficiency and reducing downtime.
