thelocknut.
2. If the jaws show excessive wear and/or are dirty, follow the steps

Troubleshooting...
1. Rivet mandrel is gripped by the jaws but the rivet can not be set
and mandrel can not be bro ken:

Higher pressure (over 90 psi;6.2 bar)raisesperformance beyondthe rated
capacity ofthe tool whichwill shorten toollife because of faster wear and
couldcauseinjury.

Operation...
When the Lever/Trigger is depressed, the throttle valve is moved down off
its seat bythe valve tube. Air enters the bottom ofthe air cylinder, forcing
thepistonassemblyup.Asthepistonassemblyrises,theplungerrodforces
