The operator pushes the tool with attached nose
assembly over the end of the fastener until the tool
puller bottoms on the fastener . When the trigger is
pressed, the

the fastener . The piston moves forward to start the
swaging process .
After the fastener is fully swaged, the operator must
release the trigger, at which point the nose assembly
anvil is ejected off of the collar and the tool is
released from the fastener .
