WARNING! During the riveting phase, when the head starts to rotate,
it also tends to drag the chain. After a slight rotation, the chain blocks
against the plane of the three jaws fastened to the support plane,
ensuring the safety of the operator.
The use of protective gloves and goggles is mandatory.
10 START-UP
1 - prepare the chain to be assembled by placing it on the table, take
the joining link with the rivets turned upwards and slip the two ends
of the chain onto the two rivets (photo 29).
2 - take the pierced joining link and centre it on the two rivets (photos 30
and 31).
3 - take hold of the chain on both the right and left of the joining link to
be riveted; the recommended distance between your hands should
be approx. 20cm (8") (photo 32).
4 - keeping the chain tight, slide it under the support's transparent
guard and carefully place one of the rivets of the joining link onto
the concave rivet holder (photo 33).
5 - at this point, the protruding part of the drive links will also be sitting
on the chain support guide (photo 33 point 1).
WARNING: check that the position of the chain support guide
does not affect the correct positioning of the rivet on the rivet
holder. The guide edge must never touch the joining link below. It's
recommended to always keep a distance of: (see fig. 3).
To adjust the guide, slacken off the two screws and move the guide
forward towards the motor, backwards towards you. Once you
have located the correct position, lock everything into position by
tightening the two screws again.
6 - turn on the master switch on the top of the box, on the right side
of the motor; the machine will start, making the riveting head turn
clockwise (the direction of rotation of the head is indicated by a label,
stuck on the front of the motor).
7 - gradually bring the head closer to the rivet, by pressing the pedal
without any sudden movements (photo 34), and start hammering
down the rivet.
WARNING: during the riveting stage, when the head begins to
rotate it tends to drag the relevant section of the chain. After a slight
rotation, the chain stops against the plane consisting of the three
jaws fastened onto the support plane, thus ensuring the operator's
safety. Always wear safety gloves and goggles.
8 - In the event of the rivet being pressed too much (or too little), adjust
it by means of the appropriate ring nut to increase or decrease the
stroke (photo 35).
9 - after identifying the best adjustment, riveting operations can be
initiated on the remaining rivet.
10 - lubricate the rivet and the head every 2/3 operations with a drop
of oil (photo 36).
11 REPLACING THE HEAD AND THE RIVET HOLDER
1 - remove the transparent protective shield by unscrewing the three
screws (photo 37).
2 - to disassemble and replace the head, follows the instructions
provided in section 8.
3 - take any shape of screwdriver which is sufficiently long.
4 - position the screwdriver at the centre of the structure, on the
underside.
5 - identify the appropriate seat and with slight upwards pressure
remove the rivet holder until it comes out of its seat (photo 38).
6 - install the new rivet holder, inserting it from above (photo 23).
7 - carefully reinstall the protective shield (photo 25).
12 MAINTENANCE
- Only perform maintenance jobs after interrupting power to the
machine.
- The machine must be kept clean so that safety instructions and plates
are clearly visible. To clean, use a cloth or pipe cleaner.
- Do not use compressed air as this could blow metal shavings into
crucial machine parts.

- Every 20 hours: lubricate the motor adapter flange and the
support (using the two respective lubricators).

TROUBLESHOOTING
• The machine does not start:
- check that the plug is correctly connected to the socket.
- check that the power cable of the machine is not damaged.
- check that the socket is powered.
- check that no fuses have blown in the socket.
- check that the automatic circuit-breaker has not tripped.
Following these checks, if it still does not start then the problem is
attributable to the machine. Contact an authorized service centre.
• The connection of the machine to the mains trips the automatic
circuit-breaker:
- contact an authorized service centre.
• The machine's electric motor is overheated:
- check that the voltage indicated on the data plate corresponds to
the mains voltage.
- check that the motor's cooling fan is turning properly and is not
damaged.
- check that the head holder shaft is turning freely when the motor
is off.
If the problem persists, contact an authorized service centre.
• The direction of rotation of the head is the opposite of that
indicated on the machine:
- contact an authorized service centre.
• The machine shows signs of anomalous vibrations:
- check the adjustment of the four supporting feet of the frame.
- check that the motor unit is correctly secured to the support.
- check that all the elements of the structure are securely fastened.
If the problem persists, contact an authorized service centre.
