USE
Air supply connection
For correct use of the pneumatic tool, always keep to a maximum pressure of 6.2 bar, as measured at the tool inlet. Feed the
pneumatic tool with clean, condensate-free air (picture 1). Excessively high pressure or humidity in supply air results in shorter
life for the mechanical parts and may damage the tool.
Interchangeable nozzle installation
The interchangeable nozzles, which are supplied with the air riveter, must be chosen according to the size and type of rivet to
use. To install an interchangeable nozzle, screw it on the nozzle holder of the air riveter (picture 3). To replace a nozzle, take
the following steps:
• Slightly loosen the nozzle holder to make it easier to replace the nozzle (picture 4).
• Remove the nozzle and fit in the required one; tighten the nozzle and lock the nozzle holder. Then operate the air riveter.
Nail container
The nail container (picture 2) is located at the back of the air riveter, to prevent scraps from being wasted. The nail container is
held by two rubber gaskets. To fix it, slightly press towards the air riveter; to remove it, pull it outwards. After it has been filled
with nails, empty and replace it.
Periodically check that the rear cap (nail ejection) has been properly locked. If it is loose, tighten it (picture 4). If it is not tight, it
may cause damage to anyone working or standing near the work area.
Start
To start operating the air riveter, fit the rivet into the nozzle, pressing the trigger (picture 2), until the rivet nail is sheared off. The
number of presses depends on the size and type of rivet used.
Periodically – notably depending on the frequency of use – clean the clamps to remove any impurities and ensure proper
operation.
Clean the clamps as follows:
• Remove the nozzle holder, using a 24-mm wrench (picture 4).
• Remove the clamps holding cone, using a 16-mm and a 17-mm wrench, and pull out the clamps.
• Then clean the clamps, using the brush the air riveter is supplied with. If the clamps are particularly worn, they should be
replaced (clamps + cone).
• Fit the clamps into the clamps holding cone; install the cone, locking it with the wrenches.
• Then screw in the nozzle holder, tightening it by hand with the 24-mm wrench.
While cleaning the clamps, also check that no oil is leaking near the oil pressure piston. If too much oil is leaking, send the air
riveter to the repair centre.
Head unit adjustment
Periodically – notably depending on the frequency of use –, and after cleaning or replacing the clamps, adjust the head unit
(picture 5). Take the following steps:
• Remove the nozzle holder, using a 24-mm wrench.
• Check the distance of the head unit with the template/wrench; the distance should be approximately 72±0.5 mm.
• Adjust the distance using a 17-mm wrench on the hexagon nut (picture 5).
• Install the nozzle holder, tightening it by hand with the wrench.
Always disconnect the air supply before replacing the nozzles or making any adjustments: this precaution will prevent the
pneumatic tool from being accidentally started.
Filling up oil pressure circuit with oil
After a long operation period, and, in particular when the cylinder stroke gets shorter, the oil pressure circuit may need to be filled
up with oil. This operation should be carried out by trained personnel; please contact Beta Utensili's repair centre, if need be.
