How to use

Select a 4.0 mm blind rivet appropriate for the materials to be joined. Place the rivet through the aligned holes of the workpieces, insert the rivet mandrel into the riveter nosepiece, and squeeze the handles steadily until the rivet body deforms and the mandrel snaps. Release the handles and remove the spent mandrel and set rivet. Change the nosepiece or jaws as needed to ensure proper engagement and replace worn parts for consistent performance.

Usage recommendations

Before use, verify hole diameter and edge clearance to match the 4.0 mm rivet specification. Wear eye protection when setting rivets and keep hands clear of the nose area. For thicker stacks or harder materials, ensure the selected rivet and prepared holes provide sufficient clamping and consider using appropriate rivet types or pre-drilling to specified tolerances.
