How do I adjust the force on the riveting pliers?
The force adjustment mechanism is typically located near the handle or head of the tool. Consult the tool's specific markings or manual for precise adjustment instructions.
What are the dimensions of the tool?
The tool measures 200mm in width, 30mm in depth, and 95mm in height.

The product description mentions it comes with rivets and nozzles. The specific quantity and types of rivets included would need to be verified with the retailer.
Troubleshooting
Rivets are not setting properly
Ensure the correct nozzle size is selected and securely fitted. Check if the adjustable force is set high enough for the material and rivet size. Verify that the rivet is inserted correctly into the workpiece.
Handle is stiff or difficult to operate
Clean the tool thoroughly and lubricate the moving parts with a light oil. Ensure no debris is obstructing the mechanism.
Nozzle is difficult to change
Ensure the tool is cool. If stuck, a small amount of penetrating oil might help, but avoid forcing it. Clean the nozzle threads.
Tool feels loose or unstable during operation
Check for worn-out components or loose connections. Ensure the 3-leg system is intact and functioning correctly.
