IMPROPER USE OF TEFLON TAPE ON ANY OF THE PNEUMATIC FITTINGS ON THE POWER SET RIVET DRIVER
SYSTEM CAN DAMAGE THE TOOL
When Teflon tape is applied improperly to the pneumatic fittings, it can break off and migrate into your
Power Set
™
Rivet Driver. This could result in a blockage and the need to send the tool in for repair.
6.
DO NOT OPERATE THE POWER SET RIVET DRIVER NEAR FLAMMABLE SUBSTANCES
Never operate the Power Set Rivet Driver near a flammable substance (e.g., thinner, gasoline, methane,
acetylene etc.). Volatile fumes from these substances could be drawn into the compressor and when
compressed together with the air could cause an explosion.
7.
NEVER PULL THE CONTACT ARM BACK AND ACTUATE THE TOOL UNLESS THE NOSE IS FULLY INSERTED IN
THE METAL GUIDE BLOCK
Actuating the tool when it is not fully inserted in the metal guide block may damage the tool and could
result in injury to the operator or others in the vicinity.
8.
KEEP HANDS AND BODY PARTS AWAY FROM THE DISCHARGE OUTLET
When using the Power Set Rivet Driver, never place a hand or any part of the body near the discharge area
of the tool. Serious injury may occur.
9.
DO NOT OPERATE THE POWER SET RIVET DRIVER IF THE CONTACT ARM IS NOT WORKING FREELY
This could result in the unplanned firing of the drive rod resulting in damage to the tool and injury to the
tool user.
Send the tool in for repair.
10.
DO NOT CARRY THE POWER SET RIVET DRIVER BY THE AIR HOSE
This can result in loosening the pneumatic hose fittings resulting in air leaks or a failed hose fitting.
11.
MAKE SURE METAL GUIDE BLOCK HOLES ARE FREE OF DEBRIS AND FOREIGN OBJECTS
Before using the Power Set Rivet Driver, check the metal guide block to assure that no dirt, misfired rivets,
or other foreign objects have lodged in the guide block holes. Objects lodged in the guide block holes,
could result in a broken drive rod or could deflect a driven rivet into the operator.
CAUTION: Be Careful
Not To Place Power Set Rapid Loader
™
Collated Rivets with Washers Into a Guide Block Hole
Where an Existing Rivet Has Already Been Driven
. Accidentally driving over the top of an already
installed rivet can result in possible damage to the Power Set Rivet Driver, the guide block or belt, and
could result in injury to the operator or anyone in the vicinity.
12.
ONLY USE SPECIFIED POWER SET RAPID LOADER
™
COLLATED RIVETS WITH WASHERS
(see page 9)
The Power Set Rivet Driver can only be used with specially designed Power Set Rapid Loader
™
collated
rivet strips with washers, intended to work with the Power Set Rivet Driver. They have a flute (washer) at
the end of each rivet pilot nail, which helps keep the rivet aligned in the guide block hole.
Do not use
rivets without washers.
Without washers, misfires will occur. Using any rivets, other than Power Set
Rapid Loader
™
collated rivets with washers, may result in permanent damage to the tool, guide block, belt,
or Power Set operator.
13.
ONLY USE FLEXCO
®
SR
™
FASTENERS
,
POWER SET METAL GUIDE BLOCKS AND TOOLS WITH THE POWER
SET RIVET DRIVER
The Power Set Rivet Driver and Power Set Metal guide blocks were designed to specifically work with the
Flexco line of SR
™
tools. Using an alternative tool base may result in rivet misfires, belt damage, damage to
the Power Set Rivet Driver, or may result in a deflected rivet that could injure the Power Set Operator or
others in the vicinity.
14.
DO NOT MODIFY THIS TOOL FROM ITS EXISTING DESIGN
Modifying the tool could result in injury to the operator or others in the vicinity and will void the warranty.
15.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REPAIR OR REPLACE BROKEN PARTS
Send the tool in for service. Failure to do so will void the warranty.
