Steps To Use LMR's Large Capacity Rivet Gun

1. Depending upon the work piece material and its thickness, select the appropriate size rivet you wish to use. NOTE: The head of the rivet must be approximately 3/16" longer than the work piece is thick.
2. Wrench tighten the appropriate size rivet nose piece onto the jaw piece of the rivet gun.
3. Spread the handles of the rivet gun apart, and fully insert the rivet mandrel into the rivet nose piece.
4. With the rivet positioned within the rivet gun nose piece, completely insert the head of the rivet into the hole of the work piece and push firmly against the work piece.
5. While applying pressure against the work piece, squeeze the handles of the rivet gun together. This tool operates with a ratchet type mechanism and requires a few strokes to compress and shear the rivet. NOTE: Be extremely careful during this step. When the rivet shears the rivet gun will recoil, when this happens it is easy to lose control of the gun and cause damage to a vehicle's paint.

6. The riveting operation is complete. Spread the handles apart to remove the used rivet mandrel and discard.
