HOW TO BREAK OUT RIVETS

CAUTION

 Always wear approved safety accessories

for hands and face when breaking out rivets.

1. Place the chain segment

you wish to break in the

correct slot of the anvil,

according to pitch.

For Vanguard

chain cutters with

wide-track depth gauges,

be sure that the depth gauge

curls downward, into the

recessed area of the anvil.

2. Position rivet head directly under the punch. Pull the

handle down just far enough to push out the rivet,

or hammer out the rivet if you’re using a hand-held

punch. Do not use excessive force. To avoid tight

joints, replace worn or broken punches periodically

and be sure the punch is centered when driving out

rivets.

When breaking chain at a cutter, make sure

the chain is positioned so that the drive links

are between the anvil and the cutter.
