Troubleshooting
Rivet not setting properly
Ensure the correct size rivet is being used and that it is fully seated in the jaws. Check that the rivet head is properly engaged by the tool's driving pin. Verify the rivet is a plastic rivet, not metal.
Tool feels stiff or difficult to operate
Check for debris in the jaw mechanism. Clean the jaws and apply a small amount of light oil to moving parts. Ensure the locking button is disengaged.
Rivet shank breaks off inside the tool
This can happen if the rivet is faulty or if excessive force is applied incorrectly. Carefully try to dislodge the broken shank with a thin pick or pliers. Ensure you are using plastic rivets as intended.
Cushioned grips are peeling or damaged
While not affecting functionality, damaged grips can be addressed by covering the handle with grip tape or a similar suitable material for improved comfort.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
This plastic riveter requires no complex setup. It is ready for use out of the box. Ensure you select the appropriate size plastic rivet from the included set for your application. Insert the rivet shank into the jaws of the riveter.
Compatibility:
The riveter is designed to work exclusively with the plastic rivets supplied with the set. The universal nose piece is engineered to accommodate the different shank diameters of the included rivets (5mmx15.8mm, 5mmx17.2mm, 6.6mmx17.2mm, and 6.3mmx25.2mm).
Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe the tool clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth after use. Avoid using solvents or abrasive cleaners.
- Lubrication: Periodically apply a small amount of light oil to the moving parts (jaw mechanism) to ensure smooth operation. Do not over-lubricate.
- Storage: Store the riveter in a dry place. Engage the locking button to keep the jaws closed and prevent accidental opening, which also conserves space.
- Inspection: Regularly check the jaws for any damage or wear. Ensure the trigger and grip areas are clean.
