Troubleshooting
Rivet does not set properly
Ensure you are using the correct rivet gun for the rivet size. Check that the rivet is fully inserted into the hole before setting.
Rivet is too loose or spins in the hole
The hole size may be larger than 4.9mm. Verify the hole diameter. If it's larger, this specific rivet may not be suitable; consider a larger rivet or alternative fixing method.
Rivet head breaks off during setting
This can indicate excessive force or an incorrect rivet gun setting. Reduce the force applied or adjust the rivet gun's mandrel setting if possible.
