Starting instructions

The Q-Tool is equipped as standard with the M6 mandrel and anvil. Check if the mandrel (1)
and anvil (2), which are installed on the tool, match the blind rivet nut that you are going to use.
- If the incorrect mandrel and anvil are installed, change them by following the next steps:
1. Make sure the battery is not attached to the tool. (by pressing the mandrel on an activated
tool, the tool will start to spin the mandrel, which in turn spins into a blind rivet nut. These moving
parts can be dangerous).
2. Unscrew the anvil, lock nut (3), and the front sleeve.
3. Push the quick-release sleeve (5) backwards, and then unscrew the current mandrel.
4. Now screw in the correct size of mandrel and follow the above steps in the opposite direction.

After screwing in the correct mandrel, the pin must be reset completely to the right!.
If the pin is stuck halfway, rotate the mandrel a bit.

The white LED light as well as the digital control panel will be activated.
- The first number that appears, starting with a C, is the total riveting quantity of this tool in its
complete lifetime and it cannot be reset/cleared). This number will be shown until the
moment the tool goes through the steps to reach the active mode, in which a blind rivet nut
can be set.
- The number that appears in the active riveting mode shows the current day count quantity of
this tool. This value can be reset/cleared.
- To reset the day count quantity, take out the battery so the tool is completely shut off.
Then put on the battery again. Do not activate the tool by pressing the trigger. Instead, press
the – button for at least 5 seconds. While keeping the – button pressed in, pull the trigger to
activate the tool. During this process, keep the – button pressed in the whole time. The tool

2.2.2 Set and adjust the stroke
To decrease the stroke, use the – button on the control panel. Every time this is pressed, the
stroke will decrease by 0.1 mm. To increase the stroke, use the + button on the control panel.
Every time this is pressed, the stroke will increase by 0.1 mm. Once the stroke has been set,
the tool will stay in this position even when the battery is changed.
We advise you to use the following stroke setting as a starting point / guideline. From this
starting point, you can increase or decrease the stroke according to the needs of your
application. We advise you to start off with the stroke mentioned underneath, as a blind rivet
nut can get jammed when the stroke settings are too high.

2.2.5 Setting a blind rivet nut
Take a blind rivet nut that fits the installed mandrel and anvil and corresponds with the set
stroke tuning. Put the blind rivet nut onto the mandrel and give it a quarter-turn by hand.
Now gently press the nut onto the mandrel, so that the blind rivet nut spins onto the
mandrel automatically. Take the Q-Tool with the blind rivet nut attached to it and insert it into
the application. By pulling the trigger, the blind rivet nut will be set. When no action is taken
for 30 seconds, the mandrel will exit the blind rivet nut automatically.
CAUTION: When putting a blind rivet nut onto the mandrel by hand, be careful not to get your
hands stuck between the blind rivet nut and the anvil, as the automatic system will pull the blind
rivet nut towards the anvil. Inattention may cause serious injury.
