Troubleshooting

Rivets are not being set properly.

Ensure you are using aluminium rivets. Check that the correct nozzle size is selected for the rivet diameter and that it is securely fitted. Verify the jaws are clean and free from debris.

Rivet mandrel snaps off prematurely.

The rivet might not be fully inserted into the nozzle, or the jaws may be worn. Ensure the rivet is seated firmly and check the condition of the jaws.

Tool feels stiff or difficult to operate.

Apply a light lubricant to the handle pivot points and the jaw mechanism. Clean any accumulated dust or metal shavings from the moving parts.

Nozzle is difficult to change.

Ensure the tool is clean and free from debris. Gently tap the nozzle if it is stuck. Check that the retaining cap is not cross-threaded.
