Installation

Installation Instructions

General Installation Safety

Have technical personnel to connect the compressed air supply to the tool.

Only hydraulic fluid recommended by the manufacturer shall be used.

Initial Set-Up

Before starting the tool, read the product instructions and the safety information documents and keep them in a safe place.

Have technical personnel connect the compressed air supply to the tool.

Operation

Operating Instructions

General Operation Safety

WARNING

High-Pressure Fluids Hazard

Never grab, touch, or in any way come in contact with a hydraulic pressure leak. When the hydraulic circuit is pressurized, the hydraulic fluid can escape at high speed. Escaping fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin causing serious injury. If an accident occurs, contact the nearest health service immediately! Any fluid injected into the skin must be surgically removed within a few hours or gangrene may result.

  • Always relieve pressure before disconnecting hydraulic or other lines. Tighten all connections before applying pressure.

  • Always wear safety approved eye wear when checking for leaks. Do not use your hands to check for leaks in the hydraulic circuit.

  • Always keep away from leaking elements during the tightening process.

  • Always wear impact-resistant eye and face protection when involved with or near the operation, repair or maintenance of the unit.

  • Be sure all others in the area are wearing impact-resistant eye and face protection.

  • Even small projectiles can injure eyes and cause blindness.

WARNING

Risk of Injury

Keep hands away from moving parts! Fingers could get injured if they get between the rivet and the work piece.

  • Keep your hands away from the riveting points when operating the tool.

  • Do not put your hands or fingers between the tool and the work piece.

  • Always use the adequate personal protective equipment on your job site.

WARNING

Projectile Hazard

Do not direct the tool against anyone. Rivets could be flung from the tool producing severe injuries, especially to the eyes.

  • Wear safety googles.

Operation guidelines

  • This tool is designed to be used solely for the purpose of setting blind rivets. Never use the tool as a hammer.

  • Never use without the stem collector fitted.

  • Never overload the tool. Work within the specified working capacity.

  • Do not exceed the permitted working pressure.

  • Do not use the tool without a workpiece.

  • Do not rivet outside of the riveting holes.

  • Never turn the tool towards yourself or towards other people.

  • Be aware of that the blind rivet could be flung from the tool.

  • Always wear protective goggles when working with the tool. Personal protective equipment such as protective clothing, gloves, safety helmet, non-slip footwear, ear protection and fall arresting device is recommended.

  • The stem collector must remain mounted on the tool during operation.

  • When putting down the tool, make sure that it is placed on a stable position on a stable surface from which it cannot fall.

Hydraulic handling

  • Avoid excessive contact with hydraulic oil. If irritation of the skin occurs, wash the affected skin parts thoroughly with water.

  • Disconnect the power supply and depressurize the hydraulic system before disconnecting or connecting hoses, fittings, or accessories.

  • Never grab, touch, or in any way come in contact with a hydraulic pressure leak. Escaping oil can penetrate the skin and cause severe injury.

  • All hydraulic connections must be securely connected. Loose or improper threaded fittings can be potentially dangerous if pressurized. Severe over tightening can cause premature thread failure. Fittings need to be only securely tightened and leak free.

    • Ensure quick-disconnect couplings are clean and fully engaged.

    • Threaded connections such as fittings, gauges etc. must be clean, securely tightened and leak-free.

  • Do not use kinked hoses. Inspect and replace if damaged.

  • Protect hoses and connectors from hazards such as sharp edges, heat or impacts. Inspect daily and replace if cracked, worn, damaged or leaking.

Selecting and Changing the Nose piece

Always fit the nosepiece corresponding to the size of the blind rivet. See Nose Piece Assignment.

Changing the nosepiece

  1. Disconnect the tool from the compressed air supply.

  2. Loosen the nose piece from the steel head sleeve.

  3. Fasten the selected nose piece and tighten it.

Attaching the Stem Collector

Fully screw on the stem collector by turning it clockwise.

Setting a Blind Rivet

  1. Connect the tool to the compressed air supply.

  2. Insert the blind rivet in the nose piece and use the tool fit as far as it can go in the hole in the material to be joined.

  3. Press the trigger until the stem breaks off.

  4. Release the trigger.

  5. The stem is automatically conveyed into the stem collector. See Emptying the Stem Collector.

Sucking in and Holding a Blind Rivet

This function is used to hold the blind rivet in the nose piece for riveting vertically downward.

  1. Using a pin (e.g. rivet stem), push the slide valve in the tool head as far as it will go to the left or to the right.

  2. After the tool has grabbed the rivet, push up the slide so that it locks in. To switch off the suction, push down the slide.

  3. The complete suction function of the tool is deactivated by pushing back the slide valve.

Service

Maintenance Instructions

General Service and Maintenance Safety

  • Always disconnect the tool from the compressed air supply when carrying out maintenance work and when the tool is not in use.

  • Store the tool in a dry place protected from frost.

  • Regularly maintain the complete grip mechanism.

  • Regularly empty the stem collector. Overfilling will cause the tool to malfunction.

  • Regularly check the compressed air lines to ensure that they are fitted correctly and airtightly.

  • Repairs must be carried out only by skilled personnel. In case of doubt, always send in the complete tool (not disassembled) to the supplier or to Atlas Copco.

  • Replace worn nose pieces if necessary.

  • Regular maintenance will extend the service life of your high-quality tool. Service the tool at least every 2 years by an authorised workshop or by Atlas Copco Service. Service the tool ahead of schedule is it is subject to intensive use.

  • Repairs under warranty are carried out by the manufacturer. Repairs outside the warranty period should only be carried out by skilled technical personnel. Failure to observe the assembly and setting procedures and operation by non-skilled personnel may result in serious damage to the tool. In case of doubt, always send the tool back to the supplier or to Atlas Copco.

  • Refill or replace the hydraulic oil after prolonged use.

  • Dispose of the used hydraulic oil in accordance with valid environmental protection regulations.
