Maintenance 

Lubrication 

The air riveter should be lubricated daily (or before 
each  use)  with  air  tool  oil  through  the  air  inlet. 
During  continual  operation,  it  should  be  re-oiled 
every 1 to 2 hours. This can be done with an in-
line oiler, or manually. If done manually, proceed 
as follows: 

1. 

Disconnect air hose from tool. 

2. 

Place 4 or 5 drops of air tool oil into air inlet 
(Figure 1). 

NOTE: Air tool oil not provided; it is available 
at most major hardware and tool stores. SAE 
#10 oil or sewing machine oil may be used 
as a substitute. Do not use detergent oil. 

3. 

Re-connect air. Fire riveter several times to 
distribute the oil throughout tool. 

4. 

When finished  operating  riveter, disconnect 
air  hose. Wipe  off  housing  with  a  dry cloth. 
Place 4 or 5 drops of air tool oil into air inlet; 
re-connect  air and  fire  tool several times  to 
distribute the oil. Disconnect air. 

Cleaning 

The  rivet  head  and  jaw  assembly  should  be 
inspected, cleaned and lubricated as needed. 

1. 

Disconnect riveter from air supply. 

2. 

Loosen  rivet  head  (Figure  3)  with  an 
adjustable  wrench  (not  provided),  and 
remove rivet head from nozzle. 

3. 

Use  the  provided  gauge  wrench  to 
disassembled  jaw  case,  jaw  halves,  jaw 
pusher and the spring. 

4. 

Clean each of the disassembled parts. Use 
a  cleaning  brush  on  the  internal  threads  of 
the jaw and inside the rivet head. 

5. 

Reassembled parts in proper order. 

6. 

Use  gauge  wrench  to  check  that  length  of 
jaw  assembly  is  correct  (Figure  4).  This 
length ensures proper spring tension. Rotate 
jaw assembly as needed until it fits the span 
of the gauge as shown. 

7. 

Apply air tool to outside of jaw halves. 

8. 

Reinstall rivet head.

Figure 4 

Storage  

Avoid storing the air riveter in very humid locations 
which  promotes  rusting  of  internal  mechanisms. 
Always oil the tool and disconnect air hose before 
storage. A hanger is provided for suspending the 
tool upright from a hook. 

Air system requirements 

1. 

Use  proper  air  hose  size  (refer  to  tool 
specifications). The hose should be just long 
enough to serve the working area. Excessive 
hose length will cause pressure drop.  

2. 

Make  sure  air  compressor  supplies  clean, 
dry air at correct CFM for the tool. 

3. 

Set air pressure to 90 psi.  

 

Excess  air  pressure 

and/or unclean air will shorten the tool’s 
life and may create a hazardous situation.

 

4. 

Drain water from air compressor tank daily, 
as  well  as  any  condensation  from  air  lines. 
Water in the air line may enter the tool and 
cause damage. 

5. 

Change filters on the air system on a regular 
basis.
