4.1.
Rivets (figs 1 and 2)
4.1.1.
Assemble by fitting the jaw case (4) on to the tool and then fit sleeve (3). Select the correct size nosepiece (5) for the shaft
diameter of the rivet and screw this into the sleeve.
4.1.2.
With the riveter handles extended and open, fully insert the rivet shaft into the nosepiece (5).
4.1.3.
Place rivet in hole in the workpiece and squeeze the riveter handles closed to deform the rivet.
4.1.4.
If the rivet stem does not shear, open the handles, push the riveter further onto the stem and then close the handles again. Repeat
as necessary.
4.1.5.
When the stem shears, open the handles and remove the stem from the riveter.

4.2.
Threaded Nut Rivets (figs 3 and 4)
4.2.1.
Remove the pop rivet nosepiece, sleeve and jaw case from the riveter body.
4.2.2.
Fit the sleeve for mandrel use (2) onto the riveter body.
4.2.3.
Select the appropriate mandrel (7) for the size of the nut rivet to be used and screw this into the riveter (note: left-hand thread).
4.2.4.
Screw the corresponding mandrel holder (8) into the sleeve.
Note: If possible it is advisable to carry out a test on a sample workpiece to ensure that you are satisfied with the results before
proceeding with your workpiece.
4.2.5.
Prepare a sample of the workpiece material with a hole slightly larger than the nut rivet diameter.
4.2.6.
Release the handles from the clip so that they are in the open position. Screw the nut rivet onto the mandrel until the end of the
rivet is level with the end of the mandrel. The mandrel holder may need to be screwed further into the sleeve to enable this to be
done. Then adjust the mandrel holder (8) so that it is touching the rivet head and lock in position with the lock nut (fig.4).
4.2.7.
Place the nut rivet in the hole in the workpiece and press down so that the nut flange is held firmly against the upper face of the
sample. Squeeze the riveter handles to compress the nut rivet. When the rivet has formed a retaining bulge against the rear face of
the sample, unscrew the mandrel from the nut rivet by turning the knurled end of the draw bar (A) and then screw on a new nut rivet
for the next operation.

4.3.
Stud Rivets (figs 5 and 6)
4.3.1.
Remove any previously used attachments from the riveter body.
4.3.2.
Fit the sleeve for mandrel use (2) onto the riveter body.
4.3.3.
Select the correct mandrel (6) for the stud rivet to be used, and screw the mandrel into the riveter (note: left-hand thread).
4.3.4.
Select the smallest mandrel holder (8) that the threaded end of the stud rivet to be used will slide into, and screw this into the
sleeve (2).
Note: If possible it is advisable to carry out a test on a sample workpiece to ensure that you are satisfied with the results before
proceeding with your workpiece.
4.3.5.
Prepare a sample of the workpiece material with a hole slightly larger than the stud rivet diameter.
4.3.6.
Release the handles from the clip so that they are in the open position. Screw the stud rivet into the mandrel as far as possible. The
mandrel holder needs to be screwed fully down into the sleeve to enable this to be carried out. Then adjust the mandrel holder (8) if
needed, so that it is touching the rivet head and lock in position with the lock nut (fig.6).
4.3.7.
Place the stud rivet in the hole in the workpiece and press down so that the nut flange is held firmly against the upper face of the
sample. Squeeze the riveter handles to compress the stud rivet. When the rivet has formed a retaining bulge against the rear face
of the sample, unscrew the mandrel from the stud rivet by turning the knurled end of the draw bar (A) and then screw on a new stud
rivet for the next operation.
