Universal Air Tools UT50PP-A - Manual (Page 2)

Operating
Connect the tool to a clean supply of compressed air set at the right
pressure. Ensure that the tool is equipped with the correct nose
equipment to fit the rivet being placed. It is necessary to match the nose
equipment to the diameter size of the rivet being placed.
To place rivets with the tool, insert the rivet body into the prepared hole
in the application, apply the tool so that the stem of the rivet enters the
nose of the tool, press the tool and rivet firmly against the application,
pull the trigger and the rivet will place. If the stem of the rivet fails to break
off, it may be necessary to increase the supplied air pressure up to the
maximum pressure allowed for the tool of 100 p.s.i. (7.0 bar).
Ensure that the broken off stem is clear of the nose end of the tool
before proceeding to place the next rivet.
Safety Rules For A Riveter
1) Read all the instructions before using this tool. All operators must be
fully trained in its use and aware of these safety rules.
2) Do not exceed the maximum working air pressure.
3) Use personal safety equipment.
4) Use only compressed air at the recommended conditions.
5) If the tool appears to malfunction remove from use immediately and
arrange for service and repair.
6) If the tool is used with a balancer or other support device ensure that
it is fixed securely.
7) Always keep hands away from the working attachment fitted to the
tool.
8) The tool is not electrically insulated. Never use the tool if there is any
chance of it coming into contact with live electricity.
9) Always when using the tool adopt a firm footing and/or position and
grip the tool firmly to be able to counteract any forces or reaction forces
that may be generated whilst using the tool.
10) Use only correct spare parts. Do not improvise or make temporary
repairs.
11) Do not lock, tape, wire, etc. the on/off valve in the run position. The
trigger/lever etc. must always be free to return to the 'off' position when
it is released.
12) Always shut off the air supply to the tool, and depress the
trigger/lever etc. to exhaust air from the feed hose before fitting,
adjusting or removing the working attachment.
13) Check hose and fittings regularly for wear. Replace if necessary. Do
not carry the tool by its hose and ensure the hand is remote from the
on/off control when carrying the tool with the air supply connected.
14) Take care against entanglement of moving parts of the tool with
clothing, ties, hair, cleaning rags, etc. This will cause the body to be
drawn towards the tool and can be very dangerous.
15) It is expected that users will adopt safe working practices and
observe all relevant legal requirements when installing, using or
maintaining the tool.
16) Do not install the tool unless an easily accessible and easily operable
on/off valve is incorporated in the air supply.
17) Take care that the tool exhaust air does not cause a problem or
blows on another person.
18) Never lay a tool down unless the working attachment has stopped
moving.
19) The tool should not be operated without the safety cap fixed to the
rear end of the tool.
20) Do not operate the tool if the frame head is not fitted.
21) Care must be taken to ensure that broken stems from the installed
rivets do not cause a hazard.
22) Excessive contact with hydraulic oil should be avoided. Wash
hands after any such contact. It is recommended that the air pressure at the tool whilst the tool is
running is 90 p.s.i./6.3 bar. The tool can run at lower and higher
pressures with the maximum permitted working air pressure of 100
p.s.i./7 bar.

Tool Maintenance
It shall be the tool owner’s and/or employer’s responsibility to assure
that tools are maintained in a safe operating condition. Tool
maintenance and repair shall be performed by authorised, trained,
competent personnel. Tools shall be disconnected from their
compressed air supply before repairs are attempted. Repairs shall be
consistent with the manufacturer’s recommended procedures. Tool,
hoses and fittings shall be replaced if unsuitable for safe operation. It
shall be the tool owner’s and/or employer’s responsibility to keep
required rating markings and warnings on the tool in legible condition.
