Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the tool, select the mandrel that matches your rivet nut size and thread it into the gun until secure. Adjust the travel stroke using the adjustment nut on the handle to accommodate the thickness of your material. For compatibility, the included mandrels cover a wide array of metric and SAE sizes suitable for aluminum, steel, and copper. To ensure longevity, clean the tool after each use with a dry cloth to remove metal filings. Periodically apply a light machine oil to the pivot points and threaded areas to maintain smooth operation. Store the tool in its provided carrying case in a dry environment to prevent corrosion of the high-strength steel components.
