20. Do not fire the Rivets too close to the edge of a workpiece. They may split the workpiece and cause it to fly free, causing personal injury. 21. Transport the Riveter safely. Always disconnect the air supply when moving the tool in the workplace. Carry the tool by the handle and avoid contact with the Trigger (40). 22. Avoid working alone. If an accident happens, an assistant can bring help. 23. Always attach the Safety Cap (23) to the Riveter prior to using the tool.
2. Prior to use, the Riveter requires the attachment of the Quick Connector (53) to its Air Cylinder (29). To do so, make sure the screen Air Filter is properly seated in the Air Cylinder. Wrap approximately 3” of pipe thread seal tape (not included) around the male threads of the Quick Connector. Then, firmly tighten the Quick Connector into the Air Cylinder. (See Figure B.) AIR CYLINDER (29) FIGURE B QUICK CONNECTOR (53) To Prime The Riveter: 1.
5. Insert the Piston Assembly (30 thru 33) back into the Air Cylinder (29). (See Figure C.) 6. Use the Spanner (36) to firmly screw the Cylinder Cap (33) back onto the Air Cylinder (29). (See Figure C.) AIR CYLINDER (29) SPANNER (36) PISTON ASSY.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Nosepieces: 1. The Riveter comes with four Nosepieces. The Nosepiece part numbers and sizes are as follows: (1A = 3/16”), (1B = 5/32”), (1C = 1/8”), (1D = 3/32”). (See Figure D.) 2. Use the Spanner (36) when changing Nosepieces. (See Figure D.)
