Confirm the working pressure (30-60KN) is set appropriately for the rivet type and material. Check battery charge level. Ensure the rivet is correctly seated.
Overload warning or safety valve activation
Reduce applied pressure slightly. Check for any obstructions or binding in the mechanism. Allow the tool to cool if it has been used continuously for an extended period.
LED display is not functioning
Ensure the battery is properly connected. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
Fast motor stop engaging unexpectedly
This is a safety feature. Ensure you are not applying excessive force or encountering an obstruction. Review the operating procedure for the specific rivet type.
