Troubleshooting

Rivet stem not breaking cleanly

Ensure you are using the correct rivet size for the jaws and that the jaws are clean and free of debris. Check for wear on the jaws.

Riveter feels stiff or difficult to squeeze

Apply a small amount of lubricant to the pivot points and moving parts. Clean any accumulated debris from the mechanism.

Rivet not pulling through completely

Verify that the rivet is fully seated in the jaws and that the workpiece material is held firmly against the riveter nose.
