INSTRUCTIONS
The hand tool will be standard equipped with the M12 anvil and
M12 mandrel. The other components will be stored separate in the
carton box.
FIRST USE:
Make sure before using the tool that the anvil and mandrel are
suitable for the thread of the insert to be used. Otherwise change
to a different size.
CHANGE TO A DIFFERENT SIZE:
Unscrew the anvil (5) and the lock nut (6). Use the two spanners
in the carton box to unscrew the mandrel (4). Please note that the
mandrels have
left-handed thread
. To unscrew turn the mandrel
clockwise. Replace it by choosing the correct size from the spare
parts in the carton box and turn counter clockwise to fasten.
A
ANVIL ADJUSTMENT:
After changing to a different size at A, it is necessary to adjust
the anvil (5) and its counter lock nut (6). Put the tool in its
starting position by pushing the ratchet switch (8) to the left
and turn the back lever (2) counterclock wise until the stroke
indicator (7) is invisible. The tool body is now in starting
position. The protrusion of the mandrel out of the anvil must
be as long as the whole rivet nut. Unscrewing the counter lock
nut (6) to adjust the anvil (5) by turning left or right, to
increase or decrease the length. After the correct length is
applied, screw the counter lock nut until it is tight.
B
SETTING A THREADED INSERT:
Put the tool in start position by pushing the ratchet switch
(8) to the left and turn the back lever (2) counterclock wise
until the stroke indicator is invisible. Screw the insert on
(relate about 2 mm distance between front and back part of
the body) the threaded end of the mandrel and insert it into
the hole of the material. The hole size must be slightly larger
than the rivet nut, check the drill specifications of the rivet
nut. Push the ratchet switch (8) to the right and open the
levers (2) for one third till you hear the ratching sound of the
mechanism, then close the levers completely. Repeat these
steps to clamp the rivet nut into the material tightly. The tool
body is now extended and the stroke indicator (7) visible for
checking the correct stroke. After the rivet nut is set, push the
ratchet switch (8) to the left and turn the back lever (2) one
time counter clockwise, this will release the threaded insert.
Unscrew the insert, by using the turning knob (3) on the back
of the tool.
C
EXTENDING THE LEVERS:
When working with (stainless) steel threaded inserts the
workingload of the tool can be lowered by extending the
levers. The extended levers creates a bigger power ratio and
makes it much lighter to clamp the stronger material threaded
inserts. Push the lever extension system (9) down to unlock
and slide the lever down till the right position. In case of a
small and narrow working area you can choose to extend only
the front or back lever.
Note: The levers can get stuck when too much force or
speed is applied during extension of the levers.
