TRUPER TPN-883-2 Pneumatic Rivet Gun User Manual
CAUTION
To gain the best performance of the tool, prolong the duty life,
make the Warranty valid if necessary, and to avoid hazards of fatal injuries
please read and understand this Manual before using the tool.
Keep this manual for future references. The illustrations in this manual are
for reference only. They might be different from the real tool.
Technical Specifications
CAUTION Consider the increase of the line pressure or the inner diameter of the hose to compensate the use of very long hoses (more than 26 ft). The hose minimum inner diameter shall be 3/8″ and the connectors shall be 1/4 NPT. Use good quality and the right size of couplers and accessories.
Filtering and Lubrication Requirements
CAUTION Dust, water and lack of oil specific for using in pneumatic tools are the main cause of potential flaws with the tool. We recommend installing a Brand UNI-LL-1/4 centralized filter-oil feeder system. This system assures lubrication reducing 80% oil consumption significantly increasing the breathing air quality for the operator.
- The filter-oil feeder system must be regulated to administer 3 to 6 drops per minute.
- Drain the water in the air compressor tank and also condensation in the hoses before using the tool. Consult the air compressor instructions
General Safety Warnings for Pneumatic Tools
Risk Control
when Using Pneumatic Tools
Injury Risk to Head and Eyes
WARNING · Compressed air used with pneumatic tools may be dangerous. Objects
like vices, burr, splinters, dust and other residues can get shot out at great
speed driven by the airflow and enter into your eyes or hit your head. Airflow
by itself can cause damage on soft tissues in eyes, ears, etc.
CAUTION · Tool’s accessories can loosen or break and sent particles towards
the operator or other people in the work area.
Prevent injury to head and eyes
- When operating pneumatic equipment wear protecting eyeglasses complying with ANSI Z87.1 Standard. As an additional protection wear a mask.
- Never aim the airflow to people or animals.
- Disconnect the air hose from the tool when not in use.
- Never leave the tool unattended when connected to the air inlet.
- Before using the tool verify all the parts and accessories are securely fastened.
Risk of explosion
WARNING · Inadequate handling of pressure in pneumatic equipment may cause
an explosion and severe injury, as well as, using any gas different from
compressed air causes explosions.
Preventing an explosion
- Before using the tool double-check that the compressed air supply is regulated to the tool specified pressure and is not over that level.
- Never connect the tool into a pressure supply exceeding 200 PSI, neither oxygen nor any other bottled gas, combustible or reactive.
- Use clean, dry and regulated compressed air with pressure between 80 PSI and 100 PSI.
Risk of Hearing Loss
WARNING · Being exposed to noise generated by pneumatic tools during long
periods of time can permanently damage hearing and cause hearing loss.
Preventing Hearing Loss
· When operating pneumatic equipment always wear hearing protection complying
with ANSI S3.19 Standard.
Parts
Assembly
Nozzles Installation
- You can install in the riveter the nozzle that fits best the rivet stem diameter.
- Use the die to place and remove the nozzles included in the key.
- Double check the nozzle is tight before operating the riveter.
Installation of the nail container
- The nail container prevent the stems to hit the operator during the application.
- The stems are shot out the riveter rear side, through the adjusting knob orifice.
- Install the nail container is the rear side of the riveter as shown in the illustration.
Start Up
Air Inlet Connection
- Connect the air hose to the tool with the adapters (not included), fixing the female connector to the air inlet connection.
- If using various pneumatic tools and only one compressor, a fast coupling (not included) is recommended, together with the adapter, to quickly connect and disconnect the tools and interchange them easily.
Lubrication
- Use an air line lubricant with SAE oil No. 10, set to two drops per minute. If an airline lubricant cannot be used, apply pneumatic engine oil to the entrance hole once a day.
- Put a drop of tool lubricant in the jaws every 5,000 cycles.
Turning ON
- Let some air run down the hose and the cople to verify that both are clean before connecting them to the tool · Plug the tool into the air line.
- Turn ON the air compressor until is full.
- Regulate the compressor air outlet pressure, from 80 PSI, up to 100 PSI.
WARNING The tool operates in the pressure range mentioned above. If operating in a higher range, the service life of the machine will be shorter.
Operation
- Insert the rivet stem in the river nozzle.
- To hold the rivet in any position, see the section “Vacuum System”.
- Find the orifice to put the rivet into and insert the rivet head in it.
- Hold firmly the riveter and press the trigger.
- Release the trigger and remove the riveter.
Vacuum System Adjustment
-
To activate the vacuum system, turn the adjusting knob counter clockwise until getting the desired rivet fastening. NOTE When activating the vacuum system, the air pressure lowers, therefore the working pressure needs adjusting. See the “Turning ON” section.
WARNING When not operating in the pressure range established, the riveter cannot separate the stem from the rivet. -
To deactivate the vacuum system, turn the adjusting knob clockwise.
Maintenance
Cylinder
- Remove the cylinder cover (A).
- Remove the cylinder piston (B) using a wrench.
- Clean the inside, the piston shaft (C) and the ring (D).
- Add grease into the inner wall of the cylinder and ring.
- Fill the orifice where the piston shaft is inserted (E). Use pneumatic engine oil (SAE No. 10) up to the washer first level. Set the piston back in place and close the cover. Tighten firmly using the wrench.
Nozzle carrier
- At the bottom of the cylinder you can screw the included extra nozzles to avoid loosing them.
Riveter Chucks
- To carry out maintenance in the riveter chucks you need to remove them with the wrenches (F), then, disassemble the head parts (G).
- Clean all the pieces and apply lubric.
- Assemble back the chuck. Using the wrench with adjusting limits to assure the head length is adequate: 2 13/16” (H). Otherwise, the riveter performance may be deficient..
Lubrication
- Pneumatic tools require constant lubrication through the entire service life and when operating.
- Compressed air used for the tool contains humidity. It can rust the tool mechanism.
- To prevent this possibility, apply constantly lubricating oil using the Brand UNI-LL-1/4 Centralized Filter-Oil Feeder System install between the air compressor and the tool.
- Oil in excess is immediately ejected through the air flushing. Always keep the air flush free of obstructions. Never point it towards people or objects.
- When not using the tool for long periods of time, thoroughly careful lubrication is needed.
- After each 60-hours operation, the tool mechanism need to be lightly greased. Grease in excess may lower the tool power.
Service
- Service the tools every 3 months only in a Authorized Service Center. Service and maintenance carried out by noncertified personnel may result dangerous and can cause personal injury and makes the product Warranty void.
- Tool malfunctioning due to failure to use the dose lubrication recommended, not following the instructions in this manual or repairs carried out by personnel not certified by , is not covered in the Warranty. We reserve the right to make technical improvements with no previous notice.
