4.1 How to adjust the setting stroke
To adjust the setting stroke, follow the 4 operational steps below:
1. Based on the nut size and material, select the colour code for the nut to be processed
from the supplied colour code chart.
Important!
Example: The red colour code is determined from the colour code chart for a M6 steel
blind rivet nut. Using the supplied size 3 hexagon socket screwdriver, turn the adjusting
screw with colour scale F by one colour field further from red to white in the window G.
Increasing the stroke setting by one further colour field applies to all possible nut size and
material combinations as sown on the colour code chart.
2. Press down completely green release button M
3. Adjust the setting stroke according to stroke scale L by turning stroke adjuster K (1 line of
the stroke scale equals 1 mm of setting stroke).
4. Release the green release button. If release button M does not lock of its own accord,
turn the stroke adjuster carefully until stroke adjuster K is locked.
The values for the setting stroke shown on the table below merely constitute reference points
and depend greatly on the thickness of the material! The setting stroke to be set must be
determined by carrying out trials with the exact material thickness. Use a different nut for each
trial!
