4.2.7 Adjusting the mouthpiece
The mouthpiece must be adjusted to the blind rivet nuts to be processed.
Screw open blind rivet nuts by hand so that 1 - 2 threads stick out of the nut, see Figure
1. Lock the mouthpiece in this position using the lock nut. With automatic spinning on the
threaded mandrel should now be flush with the blind rivet nut.
With closed blind rivet nuts screw the nuts by hand as far as they will go, see Figure 2, and
then lock the mouthpiece using the lock nut. With automatic spinning on the nut should
now be optimally spun on.
NOTE
These figures are intended as a guide and must proved in tests with the nuts used!
4.2.8 Set blind rivet nuts
NOTE
Always place the riveting tool at a right angle (90°) to the work surface to be
riveted. An oblique placement leads to faulty riveting. Use only appropriate
threaded mandrels (sleeves) and mouthpieces for the rivet nut. An incorrect
threaded mandrel (sleeve) and mouthpiece can lead to damage of the
threaded mandrel (sleeve), tool, screw thread and components. You can find
the size of the blind rivet nut in the rivet manufacturer’s information.
