Troubleshooting
Rivets are not being installed properly
Ensure you are using the correct size plastic rivet for the hole. Verify that the rivet is fully seated in the riveter's jaws. Apply consistent, firm pressure with the double lever handles.
The riveter feels stiff or difficult to operate
Check for any debris or obstructions in the lever mechanism or jaws. Ensure the rivets being used are not excessively large for the tool's capacity. Lightly clean the pivot points if necessary, but avoid excessive lubrication.
Plastic rivets break during installation
This could indicate excessive force or an incorrect rivet size. Try applying slightly less pressure or confirming the rivet is the correct fit for the application. Ensure the rivet is not damaged before insertion.
