The riveter includes four nose pieces to accommodate different rivet sizes: 3mm (3/32"), 4mm (1/8"), 4mm (5/32"), and 5mm (3/16"). These are securely stored within the tool's handle, along with a small wrench for easy changing of the nose pieces.

3. Setup and Nose Piece Selection

Before operating the riveter, select the appropriate nose piece for your rivet size. Using the correct nose piece is crucial for a secure rivet and to prevent damage to the tool or the rivet itself.

Steps for Changing Nose Pieces:

1. Identify the size of the rivet you intend to use. The Stanley MR77 accepts 3mm (3/32"), 4mm (1/8"), 4mm (5/32"), and 5mm (3/16") aluminum and steel rivets.
2. Locate the wrench stored in the riveter's handle.
3. Unscrew the currently installed nose piece from the front of the riveter using the provided wrench.
4. Select the nose piece that matches your rivet's diameter.
5. Screw the selected nose piece firmly into place on the riveter's head. Ensure it is tightened securely with the wrench.
6. Return the unused nose pieces and wrench to their storage slots in the handle.

4. Operating Instructions

The Stanley 6-MR77 Swivel Head Riveter is designed for ease of use, even in challenging positions, thanks to its 360° rotating head.

Steps for Riveting:

1. Prepare the Workpiece: Drill a hole through the materials to be joined. The hole diameter should match the rivet diameter.
2. Insert the Rivet: Place the rivet through the prepared hole.
3. Position the Riveter: Open the riveter handles fully. Insert the rivet's mandrel (the pin) into the nose piece of the riveter.
4. Adjust Head Angle (if needed): If working in a confined space, rotate the riveter's head 360° to achieve the optimal angle for comfortable and effective operation.
5. Apply Pressure: Firmly press the nose piece against the material, ensuring the rivet head is flush with the surface.
6. Squeeze Handles: Squeeze the riveter handles together with a steady, firm motion. You may need to squeeze multiple times until the rivet mandrel snaps off.
7. Release and Eject: Once the mandrel snaps, release the handles. The broken mandrel will fall out of the back of the riveter or can be manually ejected.
8. Inspect Rivet: Verify that the rivet is securely set and flush with the material surface.

5. Maintenance

Proper maintenance will extend the life of your Stanley 6-MR77 Swivel Head Riveter and ensure its continued performance.

• Cleaning: After each use, wipe down the riveter with a clean, dry cloth to remove any dust, debris, or metal shavings.
• Lubrication: Periodically apply a small amount of light machine oil to the pivot points and moving parts to ensure smooth operation.
• Nose Piece Care: Keep nose pieces clean and free of obstructions. Store them securely in the handle to prevent loss or damage.
• Storage: Store the riveter in a dry, clean environment to prevent rust and corrosion. Engage the handle lock for compact storage.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your riveter, consult the following common troubleshooting tips:

• Rivet Mandrel Not Snapping:
  • Ensure the correct nose piece size is installed for the rivet diameter.
  • Apply firm and consistent pressure when squeezing the handles.
  • Check if the rivet material is too hard for the tool or if the rivet is defective.
• Rivet Not Setting Flush:
  • Verify that the hole size is appropriate for the rivet. A hole that is too large will prevent proper setting.
  • Ensure the nose piece is pressed firmly against the workpiece before squeezing.
• Handles Sticking/Stiff:
  • Lubricate the pivot points and moving parts with light machine oil.
  • Clean any debris or grime from the mechanism.
