temperature increase of the charger during the charging process, there
is a danger of fire.
• Check the condition of the charger, cable and plug each time before
use. If damage is found - do not use the charger. Do not attempt to
disassemble the charger. Refer all repairs to an authorised service
workshop. Improper installation of the charger may result in a risk of
electric shock or fire.
• Children and physically, emotionally or mentally challenged persons, as
well as other persons whose experience or knowledge is insufficient to
operate the charger with all safety precautions, should not operate the
charger without the supervision of a responsible person. Otherwise
there is a danger that the device will be mishandled resulting in injury.
• When the charger is not in use, it should be disconnected from the
mains.
• All charging instructions must be followed, and the battery must not be
charged at a temperature outside the range specified in the rating data
table in the operating instructions. Charging incorrectly or at
temperatures outside the specified range can damage the battery and
increase the risk of fire.
CHARGER REPAIR
• Do not repair a defective charger yourself. Repair of the charger is only
permitted by the manufacturer or an authorised service centre.
• The used charger should be taken to a disposal centre for this type of
waste.
ATTENTION: The device is designed for indoor operation.
• Despite the use of an inherently safe design, the use of safety
measures and additional protective measures, there is always a
residual risk of injury during work.
• Li-Ion batteries can leak, catch fire or explode if they are heated to high
temperatures or short-circuited. Do not store them in the car during hot
and sunny days. Do not open the battery pack. Li-Ion batteries contain
electronic safety devices which, if damaged, can cause the battery to
catch fire or explode.
PICTOGRAMS AND WARNINGS
Read the operating instructions, observe the warnings and safety
conditions contained therein!
Safety goggles should be worn to protect against loose particles that
may be thrown up by the movement of the tool.
Hearing protectors should be worn. Exposure to noise can cause
hearing loss
If dust is generated during work, wear a dust mask
Wear anti-vibration or vibration-absorbing gloves
Keep out of reach of children
Disconnect from power supply before maintenance or repair
Protect against moisture
Recyclable
Do not dispose of with household waste

PURPOSE
The riveting machine is a battery-powered power tool driven by a
brushless motor. The riveting machine is used for riveting - joining two or
more materials together by means of self-piercing rivets.
OPERATION OF THE DEVICE
NOTE! Working instructions for the riveting tool
- Apply the power tool to the attachment before pressing the trigger.
- Hold the device securely. A high reaction moment may occur.
- Secure the workpiece. In a vise, the workpiece is held more securely
than by hand.
- Always wait until the tool has come to a complete stop before
putting it down.
- Do not grip the rivet during operation due to the risk of jamming
when pulling the rivet.
USE
Connecting or disconnecting the battery
Connecting the battery: Align the alignment channels and insert the
battery pack. Slide the battery pack until it locks into place with an audible
"CLICK".
To remove the battery:
Press the red button on the front of the battery pack and slide out the
battery pack.
Rivet construction
The rivet is made up of two parts: the rivet shank fig. B1 and the rod fig.
B2. The bar, which is threaded through a mushroom-shaped head,
terminating in a thickening with a diameter slightly larger than the inner
diameter of the mandrel sleeve fig. B1. The riveting process consists of
pulling the rod Fig. B2 with great force until it breaks away from the
mandrel. As the bar is pulled out, the sleeve shortens clamping both sides
of the material to be joined. The result is a durable and strong joint. The
riveting tool can be used with rivets made of aluminium and steel with the
diameters shown in the rating table.
Nozzle size
When fixing the rivet, always use a nozzle/socket with the correct diameter
fig. A1, which matches the shank diameter fig. B2 of the rivet size being
used.
Tip replacement
STEP 1: Press and hold the device switch fig. B4; this will move the
clamping mechanism inside the front sleeve fig. A2 to the rear position,
ensuring that no pressure is applied to the tip fig. B3.
STEP 2: While still holding the switch in the depressed position, use the
supplied spanner to replace the tip Fig. B3. Unscrew the bit that is
currently installed. Screw in the bit with the diameter you will be working
with, making sure the bit fig. B3 is fully tightened when reinstalled.
STEP 3: Release the switch. The device is now ready for use.
TOOL OPERATION
NOTE: The hole into which the rivet tip is inserted must be properly
prepared in advance. Its diameter should be slightly larger than the
diameter of the rivet pin. The mandrel must fit into it easily. However, it
must be small enough so that the mandrel sleeve, when compressed,
holds the joining materials firmly.
CAUTION: Do not place rivets in fingers when operating the unit, as
this may cause injury due to jamming of the rivet.
Working with a riveting machine:
Insert the rivet shank fig. B2 into the end of the riveting pin fig. B3 and the
other end of the riveting pin fig. B1 into the component to be riveted.
STEP 1: Press and hold the switch until the rivet is broken.
STEP 2: Release the switch fig. B4 until you hear the rivet being broken
off. Depending on the rivet used, material and diameter, it may be
necessary to work in two cycles. If the rivet pin does not break off in one
working stroke, repeat the process until the pin breaks off.
STEP 3: Tilt the riveting device (backwards) so that the used mandrel falls
into the mandrel collector Fig. B5 or forwards so that the mandrel can be
removed from the front of the nozzle (manually).
