Intended use
•
Insert a blind rivet in the nosepiece.
•
With the aid of the riveting tool, insert the blind rivet into the rivet hole.
•
Press the riveting tool against the material and overcome the preset triggering force*.
•
The rivet setting can then be started in two different ways:
Pressing and holding the switch:
Press and hold the switch to start riveting. The pulling process stops automatically when the rivet reaches
the rear end position. The riveting tool automatically re-assumes the front starting position when the
switch is released.
Tapping the switch:
Riveting is triggered by briefly tapping and immediately releasing the switch. As soon as the mandrel
breaks off, the riveting tool stops and automatically re-assumes the front starting position.
•
Riveting can only be triggered when the preset triggering force* is reached at the material to be
joined and the switch is pressed or tapped simultaneously.
•
Eject the spent mandrel by tilting to the rear into the spent mandrel container or to the front through
the nosepiece.
