TOOL OVERVIEW

The FLEX-5P tool is designed for installing Sherex threaded insert/rivet nuts. The tool utilizes a pull to

pressure installation method. The advantage with this method is that the same insert can be installed

into different material thicknesses (within the part grip range) without any adjustments to the tool once

the proper pulling pressure has been set. Contact Sherex for the conversion instructions for changing

this tool to a pull to stroke (FLEX-5S) installation method.

The tool is designed to install rivet nuts from M3 to M10 & #4-40 to 3/8-24. The recommended

operating air pressure is between 5 - 7 bar (72.5 - 101.5 PSI).

AIR SUPPLY

We suggest you use a pressure regulator and automatic oiling / filtering system on the main air

supply, to ensure its maximum life cycle with reliable trouble free use.

HEAD SET ASSEMBLY

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

•Choose the proper head set.

•Remove the nose case, if still mounted.

•Unscrew the adaptor nut while moving away the stop pins.

•Insert hex driver 4into hex hole on spindle, place socket head cap screw (mandrel) 3on to

hex driver 4and reducing sleeve 5on mandrel 3.

•Hold the adaptor nut, ensure the stop pins are seated in the last possible notch on the adapter

nut (may require you to turn forward 1 notch).

•Screw on the nose case into the handle casting.

•Screw on the anvil 1/2 onto the nose case.

•To remove the equipment, do the reverse operation.

PLACING RIVET NUT ONTO MANDREL- LENGTH CHECK

•Keeping the tool disconnected from air supply, place an insert on mandrel 3and adjust anvil 1

and lock nut 2 in order to match the insert and mandrel end. It is ideal to have 1-2 threads of

the mandrel protruding from the back of the rivet nut; this will ensure full thread engagement

during the installation process. Lock position by tightening lock nut 2 against the nose case.

Head sets should be serviced weekly. Any damaged or worn out parts should be replaced. Check

for mandrel wear and replace when necessary. Sherex recommends using high quality socket head

cap screws such as Unbrako® and Holo-Krome®.

IMPORTANT

DISCONNECT THE AIR SUPPLY WHEN SETTING UP OR REMOVING A HEAD SET.

PULL FORCE REGULATION

Install the proper head set for the rivet nut thread size that you will be

using. Attach an air supply to the Air Inlet (1) per the

recommendations in this manual.

Using a 3 mm allen key, unscrew the force adjustment screw (3) out

until it stops. You will see the white line when looking inside the

window on the top of the black cover. When

pulling the trigger the tool should not pull back as

this is at minimum force.

Thread an insert/rivet nut on to the mandrel (2) 1

or 2 turns. Apply pressure to the insert and the auto-spin on feature

will engage thereby spinning the rivet nut up the mandrel (2) until it

comes in contact with the anvil. To adjust the force, start by turning

the force adjustment screw in a ¼ turn and try to set the rivet nut.

Continue turning the screw a ¼ turn after each setting attempt until there is deformation of the rivet

nut. Continue to adjust the force until the rivet nut fully installs. For second grip parts and larger, you

may need to test in material thickness to achieve a proper installation.

Test the tool set up by installing rivet nuts into the representative material thickness to be used in the

application and increase the force if needed.

If during the set up process the tool does not automatically reverse out of the rivet nut press the

manual reverse button (4).

If you will be installing rivet nuts into different material thicknesses, test the rivet nut in the thickest

material location. This position will require the most installation force.

operation

Operating procedure

•Head Set assembled, tool connected to air supply, force adjustment complete.

•Screw the rivet nut onto the mandrel (2) a couple turns, then a light pressure on it will start the

spinning of the mandrel (push to spin) and automatically stop when the rivet nut comes in

contact with the anvil.

•Insert fastener into the application.

•Depress the trigger fully. This will place the insert and automatically reverse the tool out of the

installed rivet nut. (Depress the trigger and hold until auto-reverse engages). If auto-reverse

does not engage and insert has not collapsed, apply a manual pushing force to engage the

auto spin-on, and then depress the trigger. (Ensure the air pressure is within the specified

range).

•If, at any time, manual-reverse (4) needs to be engaged, depress the button at the base of the

handle, to the right of the air inlet.

IMPORTANT

Do not push the mandrel without a rivet nut as this will cause the

mandrel to s

in automaticall

. Ensure
