This tool operates with compressed air at a maximum pressure of 7 bar. We recommend that you temporarily make use of the air
supply set up for your actual placing tool with precautions as described in the instruction manual for your placing tool.
I M P O R T A N T
It is essential that the correct nose equipment is fitted to the tool to ensure both effective placing of the
fastener and SAFE operation of the tool.
I M P O R T A N T
It is essential to check that the cursor orientation before attempting to operate the tool.
The procedure for loading the tool with fasteners and for fitting the nose equipment to the tool are integral. Refer to the instruction
manual for your specific placing tool EXCEPT FOR 1.6MM (1/16”) AVLUG
®
WHICH SHOULD BE LOADED ONE AT A TIME PER TEST AS
THE TEST TOOL CANNOT EXACTLY EMULATE THE 07176 PLACING TOOL USED FOR PLACING THIS FASTENER.
To avoid complete dismantling of the tool check the orientation
of the cursor before fitting the nose equipment to the tool. If
fitted incorrectly, the cursor will not allow feeding of the
fasteners. When fitted the correct way round, the cursor will
easily slide out of the barrel when a mandrel is pushed into its
centre then pulled back. To reverse the orientation of the
cursor, refer to the instruction manual for your particular
placing tool. The sprung loaded, slightly concave, end of the
cursor should point towards the front of the tool as shown
right.
