Mode of operation
•
Insert a blind rivet in the nosepiece.
•
With the aid of the riveting tool, insert the blind rivet into the rivet hole.
•
Press the riveting tool against the material and overcome the preset triggering force*.
•
The rivet setting can then be started in two different ways:
Pressing and holding the switch:
Press and hold the switch to start riveting. The pulling process stops automatically when the
rivet reaches the rear end position. The riveting tool automatically re-assumes the front start-
ing position when the switch is released.
Tapping the switch:
Riveting is triggered by briefly tapping and immediately releasing the switch. As soon as the
mandrel breaks off, the riveting tool stops and automatically re-assumes the front starting
position.
•
Riveting can only be triggered when the preset triggering force* is reached at the material
to be joined and the switch is pressed or tapped simultaneously.
•
Eject the spent mandrel by tilting to the rear into the spent mandrel container or to the
front through the nosepiece.
*The triggering force of the PowerBird Pro
system is:
•
0 N without additional compression spring
•
15 N with 1 additional compression spring
•
30 N with 2 additional compression springs
•
The blind riveting tool is equipped with overload protection. In the event of overloading
the blind riveting tool, e.g. by setting rivets that are outside the working range, riveting
stops, indicated by the 3 LEDs flashing slowly (1 Hz). Press the switch to make the blind
riveting tool go back to the start position and it is then ready for operation.
•
The control detects a blockage on return (e.g. dirt, foreign object, etc. in the steel head
sleeve). The tool stops the return procedure and immediately assumes the rear end posi-
tion automatically. The fault is indicated by the LEDs flashing rapidly (2 Hz). The battery
pack must be removed and the fault eliminated. Then reinsert the battery and briefly
press the switch. The tool assumes the front end position and is again ready for use.
•
The blind riveting tool is fitted with an acoustic warning device, which provides information
about the remaining battery time. Beeps sound to tell the user when to change the battery.
This ensures that the blind riveting tool will not switch off during a riveting operation.
