1. Ìsopọ̀ Ipèsè Afẹ́fẹ́
- Ensure the air compressor is off and the air line is depressurized.
- Connect a standard air hose to the tool's NPT air inlet thread. The flexible air connection allows for 360° rotation for optimal positioning.
- Turn on the air compressor and adjust the pressure to the recommended operating range (refer to Specifications section).
2. Selecting and Installing the Mandrel and Nosepiece
Select the appropriate mandrel and nosepiece combination for the specific blind nut rivet size (M3-M12) you intend to install. The tool comes with 7 mouthpieces to cover this range.
- Unscrew the existing nosepiece and mandrel, if any.
- Thread the correct mandrel into the tool until it is finger-tight.
- Thread the corresponding nosepiece onto the tool, ensuring it is securely fastened.

1. Loading the Rivet Nut
Thread the blind nut rivet onto the mandrel until it is fully seated against the nosepiece. Ensure the rivet nut is the correct size for the application.
2. Positioning and Setting the Rivet Nut
- Insert the rivet nut into the pre-drilled hole in the workpiece.
- Press the tool firmly against the workpiece.
- Depress the trigger to activate the tool. The tool will pull the mandrel, deforming the rivet nut and securing it in place.
