Operating Instructions
Read all of these instructions in order to ensure the safe operation of this equipment.
This section details installing MAGnA-GRIP
®
and Huck
Blind Fasteners. Review all CAUTIOns and WARnInGs
prior to installing these fasteners. If the tool
malfunctions, consult the
Troubleshooting
section
before attempting any repairs.
nOTE:
Reasonable care of tools by operators is
an important factor in maintaining efficiency and
reducing downtime.
TO InSTAll A MAGnA-GRIP FASTEnER:
1. Place a pin in the workpiece and place the collar
over the pin.
nOTE:
If the collar has one tapered end, that end
must be out toward tool; not next to
the sheet.
2. Hold the pin in the hole and push the nose
assembly onto the pin protruding through the
collar until the nose anvil touches the collar.
3. Press and hold the trigger until the collar is
swaged and the pintail breaks.
4. Release the trigger; the tool will perform its
RETURn stroke.
The pressure is re-directed; the piston moves forward;
and the tool
is pushed off the fastener and
ready for
the next installation cycle.
TO InSTAll A HUCK BlInD FASTEnER:
1. Place a fastener in the workpiece or in the end of
the nose assembly.
nOTE:
T
he tool or nose assembly must be
held against
,
and at a right angle (90
°
) to
,
the
workpiece.
2. Press and hold the trigger until the fastener is
installed and the pintail breaks.
3. Release the trigger; the tool will perform its
RETURn stroke.
The pressure is re-directed; the piston moves forward;
and the tool
is pushed off the fastener and
ready for
the next installation cycle.
For complete safety information, see page 4.
CAUTIOnS:
To avoid structural and tooI damage, be
sure there
is sufficient
clearance for the nose
assembly at full stroke.
Remove excess gap from between the sheets
to permit proper fastener installation and
prevent jaw damage. All jaw teeth must
engage the pintail to avoid damaging the
teeth.
CAUTIOn: Make sure the tool is properly
re-assembled before use.
WARnInGS:
Wear approved eye and hearing protection.
Ensure adequate clearance for operator’s
hands before installing fasteners.
Be sure that the pintail deflector is properly
attached to the tool and directed away from
all personnel.
Do not pull on a pin without placing a
fastener in a workpiece. Make sure that the
collar chamfer is out, towards the tool. Pins
eject with great velocity when pnntails break
off or teeth/grooves strip, which could cause
serious injury.
WARnInGS:
Inspect tools for damage and wear before
using. Do not use if damaged or worn; serious
personal injury may occur.
Pulling a pin without a collar, or with collar
chamfer against workpiece, may result in the
pin becoming a high-speed projectile when
the pin grooves are stripped or the pintail
breaks off.
Serious personal injury may occur
to anyone in the pin’s “flight path.” This
includes pins that ricochet.
Broken pintails eject from the
deflector with
speed and force. To reduce the risk of serious
personal injury, be sure the
pintail deflector is
properly attached and directed away from all
personnel. Replace damaged pintail deflectors.
CAUTIOn: Remove excess gap from between
the sheets to permit proper fastener
installation and prevent jaw damage. All
jaw teeth must engage the pintail to avoid
damaging the teeth.
