exceed the maximum pressure rating of the tool (see Specifications).

Exceeding the maximum PSI rating can create a bursting hazard,

causing injury and property damage.

5. Never use oxygen, combustible gas or any other bottled gas as a

power source. Any power source other than an air compressor could

cause an explosion and serious personal injury.

6. Turn OFF the valve and discharge any remaining air pressure after each

use or before adjusting the tool.

7. Do not leave the air tool unattended with its compressed air supply on.

Turn off the compressed air supply and bleed the air tool of any

remaining compressed air before leaving the air tool unattended.

8. Serious injury may occur from loose debris being propelled at high speeds

from the compressed air stream. Always wear OSHA approved safety

glasses to protect the eyes during operation of the air compressor.

9. Always turn off the air compressor and drain tank pressure completely

before attempting maintenance or attaching air tools. Release pressure

slowly from the system.

10. Serious injury or death may occur from inhaling compressed air. The air

stream may contain carbon monoxide, toxic vapors or solid particles.

Never inhale compressed air directly from the pump or air tool.

POWER TOOL PRECAUTIONS

1. Do not use any power tool with a malfunctioning power switch or

control. A power tool that fails to respond to the controls is dangerous

and can cause an injury. A qualified technician must repair and verify

the power tool is operating correctly, before it can be used.

2. Disconnect the power source before installing or servicing the tool.

3. Keep hands and fingers away from the work area. Any part of body

contacting the tool’s working parts could cause an injury.

4. Never touch the tool or workpiece during or immediately after use. They

may be hot and could inflict a burn injury.

AIR HOSE PRECAUTIONS

1. Inspect the tool's air hose for cracks, fraying or other faults before

each use. Discontinue use if the air hose is damaged or hissing is heard

from the air hose or connectors. Replace the defective air hose.

or crack the air hose. Gently coil the hose and either hang on a hook

or fasten with a device to keep hose together when storing.

4. A damaged or disconnected air hose under pressure may whip around

and inflict personal injury or damage the work area. Secure the

compressor's air hose to a fixed or permanent structure with clamps or

cable ties.

COMPRESSOR/TANK PRECAUTIONS

DANGER! Do not use an air tank beyond its expiration date. A tank rupture

or explosion may kill or cause a serious injury to yourself or a bystander.

Disable and discard the air tank according to the your municipality by-laws.

1. Never drill into, weld, patch or modify the air tank. Immediately

replace the tank or compressor if an air leak develops. The leak may

lead to a rupture.

2. Never make adjustments to the components that control tank pressure.

Serious injury or death may occur if modifications are made to the

pressure switch, safety relief valve or other components that control

the tank pressure.

3. Check operation of the pressure relief valve on a regular basis and

never operate without a factory approved pressure relief valve. Do not

make alterations to the factory operating pressure settings.

AIR TOOL LUBRICATION

NOTICE! Only use air tool oil to lubricate the tool. Other lubricants are not

suitable and will damage the tool or cause a malfunction during use.

Fig. 9

8843732 1/4 in. Air Riveter V1.0

12 For technical questions call 1-800-665-8685

NOTICE! Never use a penetrating oil to lubricate an air tool. Penetrating oil

acts as a solvent that will dissolve the tool’s grease packing and may

damage the o-rings, causing the tool to seize or malfunction.

1. All air tools have an internal coating of grease to prevent corrosion

during shipping and storage. Remove this grease by adding a generous

amount of air tool oil in the air inlet and then run the tool under no

load until the exhaust is clear.

2. Manually add a drop or two of air tool oil into the tool’s male connector

before each use and after every hour of continuous use. The tool will

not work properly without lubrication and parts will wear prematurely.

3. Avoid adding too much air tool oil as this can cause premature power

loss and eventual tool failure. A qualified technician will need to take

the tool apart and clean out the excess oil.

4. Apply a generous amount of air tool oil to the tool before storing it for

an extended period of time (overnight, weekend, etc.). Run the tool for

approximately 30 seconds to ensure the oil is evenly distributed

throughout the tool. Store it in a clean and dry location.

DISPOSAL

Recycle a tool damaged beyond repair at the appropriate facility.

Contact your local municipality for a list of disposal facilities or by-laws for

electronic devices, batteries, oil or other toxic liquids.

IMPORTANT! DO NOT pollute the environment by allowing uncontrolled

discharge of waste oil.

DISPOSAL OF HYDRAULIC FLUID

Do not drain hydraulic oil into the sewer system or dispose in an

uncontrolled location. Hydraulic fluid may take up to a year to breakdown in

the environment and the ingredients may still be toxic. Contact your local

municipality for proper disposal instructions or locations.

TROUBLESHOOTING
