Ssfety Precautions (1/2)

●Read the following “Safety Precautions” thoroughly before using the rivet tool, and use the tool correctly,

following the instructions included in the instruction manual.

●Cautions are divided into the following:

WARNING Erroneous handling could cause death or serious injury.

CAUTIONErroneous handling could cause personal injury or damage.

●After reading the manual, keep it in a handy place where rivet operators can refer to it any time.

●Use this tool only when setting standard pop rivets.

(See the catalog of pop rivets for selecting rivets.)

WARNING

1. Use the tool with an air pressure of 0.5-0.6 MPa.

◇Exceeding the specified air pressure could damage the tool, resulting in accident or injury.

2. Do not use or operate this tool while pointing at any person. Do not look into the tool from the front or back.

◇If rivets or ruptured mandrels pop out, it could cause an accident or serious injury (losing eyesight, etc.).

3. Always wear protective goggles (JIS T8147 specification product) during use.

◇If rivets or ruptured mandrels pop out, it could cause an accident or serious injury (losing eyesight, etc.).

Take special care with BHM and peel-typerivets since it is specified that mandrelheads may pop out.

See the catalog of pop rivets for details.

4. Be sure to attach the collector without damage. When removing the collector, be sure to separate the coupler to

stop the supply of compressed air.

Do not supply compressed air while the collector is detached:

◇

Doing so could cause the ruptured mandrels to pop out, resulting in an accident or serious injury (losing

eyesight, etc.).

5. Check whether individual parts are damaged or not: If there is a damaged part, stop using the tool and ask for a

repair.

◇Using the damaged tool as is could cause an accident or injury.

6. Securely connect the compressed air supply block.

◇If the screws at the connection section do not fit in or the threaded insert margin is insufficient, the coupler,

hose, etc. could come off during use, resulting in an accident or injury.

Safety Precautions (2/2)



CAUTION 

1. When this tool is disassembled for maintenance and/or parts replacement, and then reassembled, be sure to

separate the coupler or perform similar actions to stop supply of compressed air.

◇If the tool is disassembled or reassembled while compressed air is being supplied, parts could pop out, oil

could jet out, or the tool could move unexpectedly, resulting in an accident or injury.

2. Securely tighten the fill-screw when using the tool.

◇

Using the tool with the fill-screw loosened or removed could cause oil to jet out, resulting in an accident or

injury.

3. Do not operate the tool with the nose housing removed:

◇

Doing so could cause your fingers to be caught, etc., resulting in injury.

4. Use only the parts supplied or specified by use.Attach the parts that suit the rivets to be used.

◇

Neglecting the above could not only cause the tool to fail to deliver full performance, but abnormal operation

could result in an accident or injury.

5. Do not modify this tool without our permission.

◇

Unauthorized modification could cause abnormal operation, resulting in an accident or injury.

6. Leave maintenance of this tool to qualified persons who understand the functions and mechanism. Qualified

persons should follow the instructions described in the instruction manual and take great care during the work.

◇

If unauthorized persons who do not have knowledge or techniques perform maintenance, the tool will not only

fail to deliver full performance, but it could also result in an accident or injury.

7. Contact us for repair of this tool.

◇

Contact your dealer or us for repair of the tool:

If unauthorized persons who do not have knowledge or techniques on servicing perform repair, the tool will

not only fail to deliver full performance, but it could also result in an accident or injury.

8. Keep the handle grip dry and clean without oil or grease adhering.

◇Oil or grease could cause the tool to slip from your hand and fall.

9. Do not scatter ruptured mandrels on the floor.

◇ Ruptured mandrels are dangerous since they have sharp points. Persons stepping on mandrels are likely to

slip, and could fall.

10. Please organic solvent do not adhere to the Handle front, the Handle rear, the collector body, and

the collector cover (These materials are polycarbonates).

◇ Parts etc. dash out by damaging the above-mentioned parts, and the accident and the trouble

might be owed.

11. Be careful of exhaust air from the Exhaust vent.

◇

Do not bring your face (especially eyes) to the Exhaust vent, since it occasionally discharges foggy air

intensively. Be careful: Exhaust air could contaminate surrounding objects.

Foggy air containing oil or moisture could be discharged mainly depending on the status of compressed air

supplied.

4. Preparation for use

(1) Make sure that Nosepiece that suits the rivets used are attached: If incompatible

parts are attached, replace them with those specified to suit the rivets used (see Table

2-2 on P. 4).

(See P.14 for Replacing Nosepiece.)

(2) Attach the coupler (AN500-72) to R-Joint block of rivet tool, to supply compressed air.

Install the air filter and regulator between Compressors and rivet tool, and adjust the

pressure of air supplied to 0.5-0.6 MPa.

(Example: Consider oil resistance, wear resistance, etc.)

WARNING

(3) Confirm whether the shutter shuts. Turn the shutter to the right, and shut in case of

the opening. (see Fig4-2)

(4) The Valve shutter must revolve to the left one-twice, open, and operate MCS.

5. Precautions for use

(1) Air pressure used

Use the rivet tool with an air pressure of 0.5-0.6 MPa.

If the specified air pressure is exceeded, the tool could break, resulting in an accident

or injury. If the air pressure is lower than that specified, it may not be possible to

setting rivets.

Use the regulator to adjust the air pressure to optimum value. (see P.6)

(2) Using air filter

Moisture or dust contained in compressed air could affect the life of rivet tool: Use an

air filter. (See P.6)

(3) Nosepiece

Use an appropriate nosepiece according to the type and size of rivet.

(see Table 2-2 on P.4)

Using different size nosepiece may cause faultily rivet setting or tool malfunctions.

(4) Hydraulic oil

Use specified hydraulic oil.

Select the hydraulic oil from Table 5-1: Other oil could cause malfunctions.

(5) Discard mandrels collected in the Collector

Discard mandrels collected in the collector before the accommodation capacity of

collector is not exceeded (Table 6-1 on P.9).

(Note) Exceeding the maximum capacity may damage the MCS or cause mandrels to

become stuck inside the tool.

(6) Plastic parts (Handle front, Handle rear, Collector)

Organic solvent do not adhere to the Handle front, the Handle rear, the collector body,

and the collector cover (These materials are polycarbonates).

Use the soapless soap when washing it.

6-1 Setting rivets

(1) Insert mandrel into the nosepiece and attach a

rivet, and then insert the rivet body into the hole

in the lower base metal. (Fig. 6-1)

The rivet is attracted by MCS

into the nosepiece.

Or insert the rivet body into the hole in the lower

base metal, bring the rivet tool to the rivet, and then

insert the mandrel into the nosepiece. (Fig. 6-2)

(2) Push the rivet tool against the base metal at right

angles, and then pull the trigger while the base

metals to be joined and the rivet flange and

nosepiece are in close contact: The mandrel

ruptures and the rivet is set to join base metals.

(3) Release the rivet tool from the base metal, and then

release the trigger. (Fig. 6-4)

The ruptured mandrel is attracted by MCS, and is

collected in the Collector.

*Discard mandrels collected in the collector before the

accommodation capacity of collector is not exceeded

(Table 6-1 on P.9).

(4) After making sure that the mandrel has

been ejected, proceed with subsequent

joining.
