AIR SUPPLY

AIR SUPPLY

• WARNING: Ensure the air supply is clean and does not exceed 90psi while operating the riveter. Too high an air pressure and unclean air will cause excessive wear, and may be dangerous, causing damage and/or personal injury.
• Recommended hook-up procedure is shown in Fig.1.
• Ensure the riveter air valve (or trigger) is not depressed before connecting to the air supply.
• You will require an air pressure between 70-90psi, and an air flow according to the specification above.
• Drain the air tank daily. Water in the air line will damage the riveter and invalidate your warranty.
• Clean air inlet filter weekly.
• Line pressure should be increased to compensate for unusually long air hoses (over 8 metres). The minimum hose diameter should be 1/4” I.D. and fittings must have the same inside dimensions.
• Keep hose away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Check hoses for wear, and make certain that all connections are secure. COUPLINGS
• Vibration may cause failure if a quick change coupling is connected directly to the riveter. To overcome this, connect a leader hose Sealey model number AH2R or AH2R/38 – to the riveter. A quick change coupling may then be used to connect the leader hose to the air line recoil hose. See figs.1 & 2.

OPERATION

• WARNING! Ensure that you have read, understood and apply the safety instructions. This tool is designed for riveting metal, primarily in workshops and garages. We do not recommend any other use.

FITTING THE DESIRED NOZZLE

• Fit the supplied spanner over the nozzle and turn it anti-clockwise to remove it (Fig.3).
• Fit the correct size nozzle for the rivet to be used and screw back into the frame head and tighten with the spanner.

OPERATION

• Ensure the air valve is in the closed position (Fig.4) before connecting the air supply.
• Open the shut-off valve by sliding the knurled ring upwards (Fig.4).
• Place the desired size rivet into the nozzle, ensuring the nozzle is the correct size for the rivet.
• Insert the rivet into the workpiece as far as it will go and squeeze the trigger.
• The rivet will be compressed and the spent mandrel will be sucked into the spent mandrel bottle. When the spent mandrel bottle is full, close the shut-off valve, unscrew, empty and replace (Fig.4).

MAINTENANCE

• WARNING: Ensure you disconnect the tool from the air supply system before attempting any service or maintenance. Maintain the tool with care. Keep it oiled for optimum performance.

LUBRICATION

• Lubricate the air tool daily with a high quality air tool oil, (such as Sealey Part No. ATO/500 or ATO/1000).
• Add oil to the hydraulic system occasionally. Refer to numbers on Parts List.
• Remove rubber base (2). Unscrew cylinder cap (1). Remove air piston assembly (7A & 14). Fill with SAE 10 oil up to the level of the lower (when upside down) o ring (18), see fig.5. Reassemble in reverse order.

JAW REPLACEMENT

• Eventually the jaws will wear and require replacement.
• Remove the nozzle and frame head (Fig.6) using the supplied spanners.
• Undo and remove the jaw housing from the jaw housing coupler (Fig.7).
• Withdraw the jaws and replace with a new set. If the jaw pusher and spring fall out, put the spring back first and then the jaw pusher followed by the jaws. For a further reference consult the parts diagram at the back of this manual for correct part orientation.
• Fit the frame head and tighten.
• When the jaws are replaced check that the jaw distance from the main body is 84mm using the guide on the spanner as shown in Fig.9.

FACTORS THAT MAY INHIBIT PERFORMANCE

• Loss of power or erratic action may be caused by reduced compressor output, an excessive drain on the air line, moisture or restrictions in air pipes or the use of hose connections of improper size.
• Grit or gum deposits in the tool may cut power and can be corrected by cleaning the air strainer and flushing out the tool with gum solvent oil or an equivalent de-greaser.
• If all outside conditions are in order, disconnect the tool from the air supply, disassemble and replace any worn or damaged parts with Sealey original parts.
• Clean all parts, reassemble the tool and lubricate.
• Store the tool in a safe, dry, secure environment.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Filings jammed in nozzle.

| Use correct size nozzle for the rivet.

Snap off rivet head, dismantle jaw housing and pull out the rivet mandrel. Use an airline to blow out the filings, oil and reassemble the jaw housing.

Clean out the nozzle.

No suction.| The shut-off valve has not been opened.| Open shut-off valve.
Air leaking.| Loose screws.

Damaged O-rings.

| Tighten screws.

O-rings must be replaced.

Tool runs slow or suffers a loss of power.| Air line is loose. Exhaust port is blocked.

Operating pressure is too low.

| Re-install and tighten air line. Clean out exhaust port.

Increase the operating pressure to 85- 95psi. If the pressure exceeds 105-110psi, the safety valve will operate.

WARNING: Risk of Hand Arm Vibration Injury.

This tool may cause Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome if its use is not managed adequately. This tool is subject to the vibration testing section of the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC. This tool is to be operated in accordance with these instructions.

Measured vibration emission value (a): ………..0.4 m/s² Uncertainty value (k):……………………..0.54 m/s²

Please note that the application of the tool to a sole specialist task may produce a different average vibration emission. We recommend that a specific evaluation of the vibration emission is conducted prior to commencing with a specialist task.

A health and safety assessment by the user (or employer) will need to be carried out to determine the suitable duration of use for each tool. NB: Stated Vibration Emission values are type-test values and are intended to be typical.
Whilst in use, the actual value will vary considerably from and depend on many factors.
Such factors include; the operator, the task and the inserted tool or consumable.

NB: ensure that the length of leader hoses is sufficient to allow unrestricted use, as this also helps to reduce vibration.
The state of maintenance of the tool itself is also an important factor, a poorly maintained tool will also increase the risk of Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome.

Health surveillance.
We recommend a programme of health surveillance to detect early symptoms of vibration injury so that management procedures can be modified accordingly.

Personal protective equipment.
We are not aware of any personal protective equipment (PPE) that provides protection against vibration injury that may result from the uncontrolled use of this tool. We recommend a sufficient supply of clothing (including gloves) to enable the operator to remain warm and dry and maintain good blood circulation in fingers etc. Please note that the most effective protection is prevention, please refer to the Correct Use and Maintenance section in these instructions. Guidance relating to the management of hand arm vibration can be found on the HSC website www.hse.gov.uk – Hand-Arm Vibration at Work.
