Setup
1. Charging the Battery
Before first use, fully charge both 2.0 Ah Lithium-ion batteries using the provided charger. Insert the battery into the charger, ensuring a secure connection. The charger indicator light will show the charging status.
2. Installing the Battery
Align the charged battery with the base of the rivet gun handle. Slide the battery into place until it clicks securely. To remove, press the battery release button and slide the battery out.
3. Selecting and Installing the Nozzle
Choose the appropriate nozzle size that matches the diameter of your blind rivet (2.4mm, 3.2mm, 4.0mm, 4.8mm, or 5.0mm). The rivet gun features a tool-free nozzle change mechanism:
- Unscrew the current nozzle by hand.
- Select the correct size nozzle for your rivet.
- Screw the new nozzle firmly onto the tool by hand.
Operating Instructions
1. Basic Operation Steps
Image: Four-step guide to operating the rivet gun. 1. Insert rivet into the correct nozzle. 2. Press the button to the left side (likely for forward operation). 3. Insert the rivet into the pre-drilled hole. 4. Press the On/Off switch and wait for the rivet to eject.
- Insert Rivet: Place the blind rivet into the installed nozzle.
- Position Tool: Insert the rivet into the pre-drilled hole in your workpiece.
- Activate: Press the On/Off switch (trigger) to begin the riveting process. The tool will automatically pull the rivet mandrel until the rivet is set.
- Eject Mandrel: Continue holding the trigger until the spent rivet mandrel is ejected from the tool.
2. Forward and Reverse Function

The rivet gun features a forward and reverse button, typically located near the trigger:
- Forward Rotation: Used for the standard riveting process (fastening, pulling, and ejecting rivets).
- Reverse Rotation: If a rivet mandrel does not eject completely after setting the rivet, press the On/Off switch while in reverse mode to assist in its removal.
3. Safety Lock
The On/Off switch is equipped with a safety lock to prevent unintentional activation. Always engage the safety lock when the tool is not in use or when changing nozzles/batteries.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your rivet gun.
- Cleaning: After each use, wipe down the tool with a clean, dry cloth. Remove any debris or rivet mandrels from the nozzle area. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Nozzle Inspection: Periodically inspect the nozzles for wear or damage. Replace worn nozzles to ensure proper riveting.
- Battery Care: Store batteries in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Do not store fully discharged batteries for extended periods.
