4. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
4.1 TO INSTALL AN AVBOLT® FASTENER
• Check work and remove excessive gap. (Gap is the space between components of the Joint. Gap is excessive if not
enough pintail sticks through the collar for the nose assembly jaws to grab onto).
• Put Avbolt® fastener into hole.
• Push nose assembly onto the pin until the nose assembly anvil stops against the collar. Tool and nose assembly must be
held at right angles (90°) to the work.
• Depress tool trigger switch to start installation cycle.
• When the forward motion of the nose assembly anvil stops and the pintail breaks off, release the trigger. The tool will go
into its return stroke and push off the installed fastener. At the end of the return stroke the jaws will partially release the
expended pintail which can then be pushed through the jaws with the next installation and then ejected through the
rear of the tool.
• Once the installed fastener has been ejected, the tool and nose assembly is ready for the next installation.
4.2 TO INSTALL AN AVDELOK® XT FASTENER
• Check work and remove excessive gap. (Gap is the space between components of the Joint. Gap is excessive if not
enough pintail sticks through the collar for the nose assembly jaws to grab onto).
• Put Avdelok® XT fastener into hole.
• Slide Avdelok® XT collar over the pin. (The beveled end of the collar must be towards the nose assembly and tool.)
• Push nose assembly onto the pin until the nose assembly anvil stops against the collar. Tool and nose assembly must be
held at right angles (90°) to the work.
• Depress tool trigger switch to start installation cycle.
• When the forward motion of the nose assembly anvil stops and the pintail breaks off, release the trigger. The tool will go
into its return stroke and push off the installed fastener. At the end of the return stroke the jaws will partially release the
expended pintail which can then be pushed through the jaws with the next installation and then ejected through the
rear of the tool.
• Once the installed fastener been ejected, the tool and nose assembly is ready for the next installation.
CAUTION - DO NOT ATTEMPT TO BREAK OFF A PINTAIL WITHOUT THE INSTALLATION OF A COLLAR AS THIS WILL
CAUSE THE UNSECURED PORTION OF THE AVDELOK® OR AVBOLT® PINTAIL TO EJECT FROM THE NOSE AT A HIGH
SPEED AND FORCE.
