4. Einrichtung

- Düse installieren: Unscrew the current nozzle (if any) from the riveter head. Screw the selected nozzle firmly into place. The keyless adjustment allows for easy changes.

- Niete einsetzen: Insert the rivet mandrel (the pin part) into the installed nozzle until the rivet head rests against the nozzle.

5. Bedienungsanleitung
- Loch vorbereiten: Using the appropriate drill bit from the kit, drill a hole through the materials to be joined. The hole diameter should match the rivet diameter.
- Nietposition: Place the rivet, with its mandrel inserted into the riveter, through the prepared hole in the materials. Ensure the rivet head is flush against the material surface.
- Operate Riveter: Firmly squeeze the handles of the riveter together. You will feel resistance as the tool pulls the rivet mandrel, expanding the rivet body on the blind side of the material. Continue squeezing until the rivet mandrel snaps off.
- Auswurfdorn: After the mandrel snaps, release the handles. The spent mandrel should fall out. If it remains in the tool, squeeze the handles again to eject it, or use the included mandrel extractor.
- Verify Rivet: Check that the rivet is securely set and the materials are firmly joined.

- Inspektion: Regularly inspect the nozzles and jaws for wear or damage. Replace worn parts as necessary.
7. Fehlerbehebung
| Problem | Mögliche Ursache | Lösung |
|---|---|---|
| Niete sitzt nicht richtig | Incorrect nozzle size; insufficient force applied; rivet too long for material thickness. | Ensure nozzle matches rivet diameter. Apply more force. Use a rivet suitable for the material thickness. |
| Mandrel does not eject | Jaws are stuck or dirty; mandrel is bent. | Squeeze handles fully again. Clean and lubricate jaws. Use the mandrel extractor if necessary. |
| Rivet slips out of nozzle | Nozzle is too large for the rivet mandrel. | Ensure the correct nozzle size is installed for the rivet being used. |
