corresponding to the blind rivet size
(selection according to table point 6.)
Exchanging nosepieces
– Disconnect the tool from the compressed air
– Unscrew the nosepiece from the tool head

7.3 Setting a blind rivet

– Connect the tool to the compressed air.
– Insert the blind rivet into the nosepiece and
place the rivet into the workpiece
