Operating Instructions

FOR SAFE OPERATION, THIS SECTION MUST BE READ AND UNDERSTOOD.

****WARNINGS:
To avoid severe personal injury: Wear approved eye and ear protection.
Be sure of adequate clearance for Operator’s hands before proceeding with fastener installation.
Do not pull on a pin without placing fastener/ collar in a workpiece, and also, collar chamfer MUST be out toward tool. These conditions cause pin to eject with great velocity and force when the pintail breaks off or teeth/grooves strip. This may cause severe personal injury.

****CAUTIONS: Remove excess gap from between the sheets. This permits enough pintail to emerge from collar for ALL jaw teeth to engage with pintail. If ALL teeth do not engage properly, jaws will be damaged.

GENERAL
Operators should receive training from qualified personnel. Do not bend tool to free if stuck. Tool should only be used to install fasteners. Never use as a jack/ spreader or hammer.

BobTail® FASTENER INSTALLATION:
Place fastener in workpiece and place collar over fastener.
See WARNING. (If Collar has only one tapered end, that end MUST face the tool; not the workpiece.) Hold fastener and push nose assembly onto fastener pintail protruding through collar until puller bottoms on fastener. Depress trigger and hold until collar is swaged. Release trigger. Tool will go into its return stroke. Tool/nose are ready for next installation cycle.

• Check fastener for correct grip. Place fastener in workpiece hole.
• Place collar over fastener. See WARNINGS. If collar has only one tapered end, that end should face the tool.
• Hold fastener in hole. Push tool onto fastener protruding from collar until puller bottoms on fastener.
• Move hands away from fastener and structure. Keep hands away from front of tool during operation. Tool anvil advances forward.
• Hold tool at right angle (90 degrees) to work piece. Press and hold trigger down until collar is swaged.
