INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing this CLARKE Air Riveter. The CAT151 Air Riveter is

supplied with 4 nose pieces to accept 2.4 mm, 3.2 mm, 4.0 mm and 4.8 mm

rivets. The riveter has a hardened steel jaw assembly, a rivet stem safety cap,

and is suitable for both aluminium and steel rivets.

Before attempting to use this product, please read this manual thoroughly and

follow the instructions carefully. In doing so you will ensure the safety of yourself

and that of others around you, and you can look forward to your purchase

giving you long and satisfactory service.

OPERATING PRINCIPLE

The rivet is pushed through the hole in the workpiece and the rivet pin inserted

into the rivet gun nosepiece which will grip it tightly.

When the rivet gun is activated the throttle valve allows compressed air

through the tool. The pressure of the air forces the rivet pin into the jaws which

pull the pin up into the rivet. As the pin is taken up, the base of the rivet

expands and this joins the workpiece. The rivet gun pulls the pin until it breaks

off, thereby securing the rivet. The used pins are ejected into the safety cap

for disposal.

Pop rivets have limited strength so they are typically used for fastening light

sheet metals. Professionals sometimes refer to these rivets as blind rivets, as the

user cannot see the other side of the material being riveted.

USE

1. Stay alert and use common sense - do not operate this tool when you are

tired or under the influence of alcohol, drugs or medication.

COMPRESSED AIR REQUIREMENTS

• Use only clean, dry, regulated compressed air as a power source.

• Air compressors used with the tool must comply with the appropriate

European Community Safety Directives.

• A build-up of moisture or oil in the air compressor will accelerate

wear and corrosion in the tool. ensure any moisture is drained from

the compressor daily and the inlet filter is kept clean.

• If an unusually long air hose is required, (over 8 metres), the line

pressure or the hose inside diameter may need to be increased.

• The air hose must be rated at least 150% of the maximum operating

pressure of the tool.

• A typical air line layout is shown above. If an automatic in-line filter/

regulator is used, it will keep the tool in good condition, but should

be regularly checked & topped up with oil. Clarke air-line oil should

be used, and the lubricator adjusted to approx 2 drops per minute.

• Never exceed the maximum operating pressure for the tool. It is

recommended that air pressure to this tool does not exceed 7 bar at

the tool when running. Higher pressures and unclean air will shorten

the life of the tool due to faster wear and is a possible safety hazard.

WARNING: COMPRESSED AIR CAN BE DANGEROUS. ENSURE THAT YOU

ARE FAMILIAR WITH ALL PRECAUTIONS RELATING TO THE USE OF

COMPRESSORS AND A COMPRESSED AIR SUPPLY.

PREPARATION & ADJUSTMENT

FILLING/CHECKING THE OIL LEVEL

Before use, check that the rivet gun is topped up with hydraulic oil (not

supplied) after removing the cylinder cap and piston assembly to ensure that

it is properly lubricated.

1. Disconnect the riveter from the air

line.

2. Hold upside-down and remove the

air cylinder cap (fig 1) with the

spanner provided.

3. Remove the air/hydraulic piston

assembly (grip the exposed nut

and pull up) as in Fig 2.

4. Add hydraulic oil to the hydraulic

cylinder until the level is just below

the connection with the air

cylinder. See fig. 3.

• Hydraulic oil is avaialble from

your Clarke dealer: part No

3050830 (1 litre).

5. Lightly lubricate the inner wall of

the air cylinder.

6. Replace the air/hydraulic piston

assembly and press in as far as it will go.

7. Refit and tighten the air cylinder cap.

CHECKING/ADJUSTING THE STROKE

1. Check that the hydraulic oil level is

correct as above.

2. Remove the outer cylinder using

the spanner provided.

Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: Parts@clarkeinternational.com or Service@clarkeinternational.com

3. Check the jaw stroke by using the

spanner/gauge as in figs 5 and 6.

4. Set the distance to < 70 mm i.e. the

length of the spanner gauge as

shown.

5. If necessary, adjust the stroke as

follows:

• Hold the rear jaw case (fig 7)

with the larger spanner and

loosen the lock nut with the

spanner/gauge.

• Adjust the stroke by rotating the

jaw case assembly and

tightening the lock nut when

adjustment is complete.

6. Refit the outer cylinder.

CONNECTING THE AIRLINE

NOTE: Ensure the air compressor is turned off.

1. Remove the protective plug from

the air inlet port and connect a

suitable hose as shown.

2. Connect the other end of the hose

to the compressor.

3. Turn on the air supply and check

for air leaks. Rectify any leaks

found before proceeding.

• PTFE tape may be helpful for

sealing threaded connections.

4. If required, connect an in-line mini oiler into the air supply line to the tool.

• A mini oiler helps to prolong the life of the air tool.

• If a mini-oiler is not being used, run a few drops of oil through the tool

before use. It can be entered through the inlet connector or via the

hose at the nearest connection to the air supply.

Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: Parts@clarkeinternational.com or Service@clarkeinternational.com

5. Turn the compressor back on and set the regulator to 6.3 to 7 bar. Do not

exceed this pressure.

6. Your air riveter is now ready for use.

• You can fit a whip hose with a quick fit coupling if required

(available from your Clarke dealer).

OPERATION

1. Select the nosepiece to suit the rivet size and fit it to the head using the

spanner.

2. Insert the rivet stem fully through the nosepiece and into the jaws.

3. Press the rivet body through the pre-drilled hole in the workpiece and hold

the rivet flange flush against the workpiece. Always take care to drill the

holes with the same size drill bit as the rivets to be used.

4. Squeeze the trigger.

• The rivet will be compressed and the rivet stem will be ejected into

the safety cap from where they can be collected for disposal.

DISCONNECTING THE AIR SUPPLY

1. Do not disconnect the air supply hose until the compressor has been shut

down and the compressed air released.

2. Squeeze the trigger to discharge any compressed air from the riveter.

3. Once the pressure has been released, disconnect the air supply hose from

the air tool.

4. Store the tool safely in its box in a dry, secure environment.

WARNING: ALWAYS FIT THE SAFETY CAP TO THE REAR OF THE FRAME

BEFORE USE TO PREVENT INJURY FROM EJECTED RIVET STEMS. FIT WITH THE

SLOT FACING DOWNWARDS SO THAT THE STEMS FALL TO THE FLOOR.

MAINTENANCE

DAILY

1. Before use, drain water from the air-line and compressor.

2. Maintain the tool with care. Keep it oiled for optimum performance.

3. Lubricate the air tool daily with a high quality air tool oil either via an oiler in

the air supply system or by placing a few drops into the riveter air inlet

immediately before use. This should be carried out regardless of whether or

not an in-line mini oiler is used. If an in-line mini oiler is not used, this

procedure should be repeated after every two hours of constant use.

CLEANING

1. Keep the tool clean.

2. Deposits in the tool may also reduce efficiency. This can be corrected by

cleaning the air inlet and flushing out the tool with gum solvent oil, or failing

this, the tool should be disassembled, thoroughly cleaned, dried and

reassembled.

3. If the tool becomes inefficient and the air supply is of good quality, it may

be necessary to replace worn or damaged parts. You may prefer to take

the tool to your Clarke dealer if internal maintenance is required.

CHANGING JAWS

1. Disconnect the tool from the air

line.

2. Remove the outer cylinder (fig 9)

using the spanner provided.

3. Use both spanners to unscrew the

front jaw case (fig 10) from the rear

jaw case.

4. Remove the jaws and clean with

solvent and brush. If the teeth are

blunted, replace with new jaws.

Reverse the above procedure to reassemble.

WARNING: MAKE SURE THAT THE AIR TOOL IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE

AIR SUPPLY BEFORE STARTING ANY CLEANING OR MAINTENANCE

PROCEDURES.
