How to use

Select a compatible aluminium blind rivet for the material thickness, insert the rivet into the prepared hole, place the rivet stem into the nosepiece of the riveter and position the rivet head against the workpiece. Squeeze the handles evenly and steadily until the mandrel snaps and the rivet body compresses to form a secure joint. Release the handles and remove the spent mandrel. For repeated use, ensure consistent pressure and alignment to achieve uniform joints.

Usage recommendations

Use rivets with diameters and grip ranges that match the combined thickness of the materials being joined. Keep the nosepieces clean and select the correct nosepiece size if the tool allows interchangeable tips. Wear appropriate eye protection when setting rivets and discard spent mandrels safely. For best results, test on scrap material to confirm rivet choice and technique before working on the final assembly.
