Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The RICHMANN Hand Riveter is ready for use out of the box. Ensure the correct nosepiece is selected for the rivet size you are using. Insert the rivet shank fully into the nosepiece.
Compatibility: This riveter is compatible with standard aluminum, copper, steel, and stainless steel rivets in sizes 2.4 mm, 3.2 mm, 4.0 mm, and 4.8 mm. Ensure your chosen rivets fall within these specifications.
Care:
- Cleaning: After each use, wipe down the riveter with a dry cloth to remove dust and debris. Periodically clean the nosepieces with a small brush to ensure they are free of metal shavings.
- Lubrication: Apply a light coat of machine oil to the moving parts, such as the handle pivots and the mandrel feeding mechanism, every few months or as needed to ensure smooth operation.
- Storage: Store the riveter in a dry environment to prevent rust. Keep the handles closed with a securing clip if available.
