17. Inspection and Maintenance
Jaws Cleaning or Replacement
Jaws need to be cleaned once a day
or after 2.000 rivets have been set
(depends on the rivet material and
quality). In case of larger rivet proces-
sing amounts, cleaning is performed as
needed. Jaws are subject to mechanical
wear and have to be replaced as soon
as they start slipping when the rivet
mandrel is held.
— Disconnect the tool from the compres-
sed air supply
— Loosen the front nosecap by wrench
no. 16, unscrew and carefully re-
move it
— Release the galvanized lock by pulling
towards the tool and unscrew the jaw
case
— Remove the jaws from the jaw case.
Clean the head and the jaws, remove
any chips in the spring and the spring
guide or replace the parts when worn
or damaged
