Over pressurizing the tool may cause
bursting, abnormal operation,
breakage of the tool or serious injury
to persons. Use only clean, dry, regulated
compressed air at the rated pressure or within the
rated pressure range as marked on the tool.
Always verify prior to using the tool that the air
source has been adjusted to the rated air pressure
or within the rated air-pressure range.
2. Never use oxygen, carbon dioxide, combustible
gases or any bottled gas as an air source
for the tool. Such gases are capable of
explosion and serious injury to persons.

1. Attach the Pin Cap to the Riveter before use.
Turn the slot in the Pin Cap upward to
avoid spilling used Rivet Pins.
2. The warnings and precautions discussed in this
manual cannot cover all possible conditions and
situations that may occur. It must be understood
by the operator that common sense and caution
are factors which cannot be built into this
product, but must be supplied by the operator.
3. Obey the manual for the air compressor
used to power this tool.
4. Install an in-line shutoff valve to allow
immediate control over the air supply in an
emergency, even if a hose is ruptured.
5. Do not lay the tool down until it has come to
a complete stop. Moving parts can grab the
surface and pull the tool out of your control.
!"+(,$"&8%K(*4,'$"&8#
This tool vibrates during use. Repeated or
long-term exposure to vibration may cause
temporary or permanent physical injury,
particularly to the hands, arms and shoulders.
To reduce the risk of vibration-related injury:
1. Anyone using vibrating tools regularly or for
an extended period should first be examined
by a doctor and then have regular medical
check-ups to ensure medical problems are not
being caused or worsened from use. Pregnant
women or people who have impaired blood
circulation to the hand, past hand injuries,
nervous system disorders, diabetes, or Raynaud's
Disease should not use this tool. If you feel
any symptoms related to vibration (such as
tingling, numbness, and white or blue fingers),
seek medical advice as soon as possible.
2. Do not smoke during use. Nicotine reduces
the blood supply to the hands and fingers,
increasing the risk of vibration-related injury.
3. Wear suitable gloves to reduce the
vibration effects on the user.
4. Use tools with the lowest vibration
when there is a choice.
5. Include vibration-free periods each day of work.
6. Grip tool as lightly as possible (while still keeping
safe control of it). Let the tool do the work.
7. To reduce vibration, maintain
tool as explained in this manual.
If abnormal vibration occurs, stop immediately.

1. Incorporate a filter, regulator with pressure gauge,

N&$*-%If an automatic oiler system is not used,
add a few drops of Pneumatic Tool Oil to the airline
connection before operation. Add a few more drops
after each hour of continual use.
2. Attach an air hose to the compressor's air outlet.
Connect the air hose to the air inlet of the tool.
Other components, such as a coupler plug
and quick coupler, will make operation
more efficient, but are not required.

V&%8&$%"8#$,77%,%2*5,7*%A'"4Z%4&'/7*(%&8%$.*%$&&71
Such a coupler contains an air valve that will
allow the air tool to retain pressure and operate
accidentally after the air supply is disconnected.
N&$*-%Air flow, and therefore tool performance,
can be hindered by undersized air supply components.
The air hose must be long enough to reach
the work area with enough extra length to
allow free movement while working.
3. Turn the tool's throttle or switch to the off position;
refer to Operation section for description of controls.
4. Close the in-line shutoff valve between
the compressor and the tool.
5. Turn on the air compressor according to
the manufacturer's directions and allow it
to build up pressure until it cycles off.
6. Adjust the air compressor's output regulator
so that the air output is enough to properly
power the tool, but the output will not exceed
the tool's maximum air pressure at any time.
Adjust the pressure gradually, while checking the
air output gauge to set the right pressure range.
7. Inspect the air connections for leaks.
Repair any leaks found.
8. If the tool will not be used at this time, turn off
and detach the air supply, safely discharge
any residual air pressure, and release
the throttle and/or turn the switch to its off
position to prevent accidental operation.
N&$*- Residual air pressure should not be present
after the tool is disconnected from the air supply.
However, it is a good safety measure to attempt to
discharge the tool in a safe fashion after disconnecting
to ensure that the tool is disconnected and not powered.

the needed pressure. V&%8&$%*]4**9%$.*%$&&7e#%%

7. Insert the rivet through the predrilled
hole in the workpiece.
8. Hold the Riveter firmly against the workpiece
with both hands, and squeeze the Trigger to
activate the Riveter. Repeat as necessary.
Then, release pressure on the Trigger.
9. Check to be sure the rivet looks solid and
securely locks the workpiece together.
If the installed rivet is too loose then the
workpiece sections will move and not be locked
together. This indicates the rivet pin was not
adequately pulled through the workpiece. Either
the wrong size rivet was used or Riveter’s Jaw
Case is too loose and not gripping the rivet pin
well enough to pull it fully through the workpiece.
A concave, deformed or broken rivet head
indicates the rivet pin was pulled too far into
the workpiece. Either the wrong size rivet was
used or Riveter’s Jaw Case is too tight and not
properly releasing the rivet pin during installation.
10. If the tool requires more force to accomplish
the task, verify that the tool receives sufficient,
unobstructed airflow (CFM) and increase the
pressure (PSI) output of the regulator up to the
maximum air pressure rating of this tool.

If the tool still does not have sufficient force
at maximum pressure and sufficient airflow,
then a larger tool may be required.
11. To prevent accidents, turn off the tool, detach
the air supply, safely discharge any residual
air pressure in the tool, and release the trigger
after use. Clean external surfaces of the tool with
clean, dry cloth, and apply a thin coat of tool oil.
Then store the tool indoors out of children’s reach.

N&$*- These procedures are in addition to the regular checks and maintenance
explained as part of the regular operation of the air-operated tool.
1. T6@JL6%6GPX%QF6B inspect the general
condition of the tool. Check for:
• loose hardware or housing
• misalignment or binding of moving parts
• cracked or broken parts
• any other condition that may
affect its safe operation.
2. V,"7\%C%G"(%F'//7\%O,"8$*8,84*-%
Every day, maintain the air supply according
to the component manufacturers' instructions.
Maintain the lubricator's oil level.
Drain the moisture filter regularly.
Performing routine air supply maintenance
will allow the tool to operate more safely
and will also reduce wear on the tool.

4. To clean the exterior of the Riveter, wipe with a
clean, damp cloth using a mild detergent or mild
solvent. Do not immerse the tool in liquids.

3. Remove the Jaws from the Jaw Case.
4. To clean the Jaws, use a steel brush and mild
solvent. Then apply a light coat of machine oil to
the Jaws and insert them back into the Jaw Case.
5. To replace the Jaws, insert the new
set of Jaws into the Jaw Case.
6. Reattach the Jaw Case to the Jaw Cylinder.

line up the wedge on the Jaw Pusher’s head

8. With the gauge at a slight incline, the back of
the gauge should rest on the end of the Housing
threads, while the front of the gauge should
rest on the front edge of the Jaw Case. If it
does not, tighten/loosen the Jaw Case until the
distance is corrected. Refer to Figure C.

general guideline only. Jaw Case tightness must be
fine-tuned to the application, rivet supplier, etc.
