RIVET NUT ADAPTER FOR
SCREWDRIVER : RP160
Original instructions
Read the user's manual carefully before use.
I. Driving tool requirements
1. The tool must be equipped with adjustable torque setting
Battery-powered drill or screwdriver that allows you to
choose between several torque positions. The torque is set
by rotating the torque adjustment collar, behind the chuck
(Figure 2.H). The higher the torque is, the more force the
screwdriver has.
Note: In some cases, the value in Nm is replaced by setting num-
bers (e.g. 1 to 5) where 1 is the minimum torque value and 5 the
maximum.
2. Minimum battery power required with cordless driving tool:
• For aluminium and steel rivet nuts: 12V
• For stainless steel rivet nuts: 14.4V
3. Driver mode (MUST NOT be in drill mode nor impact mode)
(Figure 2.I)
4. Always start with low torque setting and gradually increase it until
it works well.
It is important not to exceed these values:
• Torque < 21 N.m for aluminium and steel rivet nuts
• Torque < 28 N.m for stainless steel rivet nuts
5. Always start with lowest speed (RPM)
To do so, set the button with 2 settings to position 1 (when applica-
ble) which is the slowest speed (Figure 2.J). Then, smoothly pull the
trigger and gradually increase until it works well.
