HAND PISTOL RIVET NUT KIT
1. Remove and install the mandrel and nosepieces. Always
keep the matched mandrel/nosepiece sets together.
2. Remove nosepiece from #16 sleeve by unthreading the
nose piece counterclockwise. This can be done either by
hand or with the provided wrench if too tight to do so.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Choose the rivet nut size to be installed.
2. Install the correct size mandrel/nosepiece for the rivet nut
to be installed. See photos and instructions for changing
the mandrel/nosepiece and adjustment.
3. Drill a hole in the work product the same size or slightly
larger than the outside diameter of the rivet nut to be
installed.
4. To install the rivet nut, open the handles outward as far
as possible and thread the rivet nut clockwise onto the
mandrel until reaching the nosepiece.
5. Insert the rivet nut fastened to the riveter into the
pre-drilled hole until flush with the work product, and
pull handles inward to secure the rivet nut into the hole.
If the rivet nut is loose in the hole, open the handles
outward, turn #10 knob clockwise, and pull handles
inward until the rivet nut is secure in the hole. Repeat as
necessary until the rivet nut is secure in the hole. See
adjustment instructions if necessary.
6. Turn the #10 knob counterclockwise until the mandrel is
removed from the rivet nut. The rivet nut installation is
complete if the rivet nut is secure from movement in the
hole.

WARNING
Always wear ANSI approved safety goggles when using this
product (users and bystanders). Failure to read and follow
all warnings and operating instructions may result in
damages and serious injuries or death.
3. Using your thumbnail or tool, press down to depress the
#15 inner hexagonal sleeve that sits within the #16 outer
sleeve. This should expose the lower hex portion of the
mandrel.
4. Unthread the mandrel by hand to remove it from the
sleeve. Once the mandrel has been threaded out far
enough to clear the #15 hex sleeve you may release
tension on this sleeve collar.
5. Choose the correct mandrel/nosepiece to be installed.
6. Thread the new mandrel into the tool by hand until it
approaches the #15 hex sleeve and fully depress this
sleeve to allow the mandrel to be threaded further until it
stops. The mandrel does not need to be torqued. Release
the hex sleeve and allow it to fully reengage the mandrel.
If the mandrel and hex sleeve do not initially align, rotate
the #10 knob while holding onto the mandrel until it clicks
up and reengages.
7. Thread the matching nose piece into the #16 by hand.
Torqueing the nose piece is optional.
