All tools are operated with compressed air at an optimum pressure of 5.5 bar. We recommend the use of pressure regulators and filtering
systems on the main air supply. These should be fitted within 3 metres of the tool (see diagram below) to ensure maximum tool life and
minimum tool maintenance.
Air supply hoses should have a minimum effective working pressure rating of 150% of the maximum pressure produced in the system or
10 bar, whichever is the highest. Air hoses should be oil resistant, have an abrasion resistant exterior and should be armoured where
operating conditions may result in hoses being damaged. All air hoses MUST have a minimum bore diameter of 6.4 millimetres or

•
Ensure that the correct nose assembly suitable for the fastener is
fitted.
•
Connect the tool to the air supply.
•
Insert the fastener stem into the nose of the tool. If using a
standard nose assembly, the fastener should remain held in by the
vacuum system.
•
Bring the tool with the fastener to the application so that the
protruding fastener enters squarely into the hole of the
application.
•
Fully actuate the trigger. The tool cycle will broach the fastener
and with standard nose assemblies the broken stem will be
projected to the rear of the tool into the collector bottle.
•
A partial rotation and pull movement removes the collector bottle.
The Trigger should be lifted to cut-off the vacuum supply air prior
to removing the collector bottle.
•
To minimise air consumption, the trigger should be 'lifted' to cut-off the
vacuum air supply if the tool is not to be used for a period of time.
