Troubleshooting
Rivet nut does not compress fully
Ensure the stroke adjustment dial is set correctly for the nut size and check that the mandrel is threaded fully into the tool.
Mandrel is difficult to unscrew after installation
The rivet nut may have been over-compressed; ensure you are not using excessive force and try to slightly loosen the stroke tension.
