Clarke 1801879 CHT879 Long Short Arm Threaded Nut Riveter F.A.Q.

How do I properly set up the Clarke 1801879 CHT879 Riveter for first-time use?

To set up the Clarke 1801879 CHT879 Riveter, first ensure all components are present. Attach the correct nosepiece for the rivet size you intend to use. Adjust the arms to the appropriate length for your application, and ensure the threaded nut is securely fastened. Check that all moving parts are lubricated and functioning smoothly before use.

What is the correct method to clean and maintain the riveter?

After each use, wipe the riveter with a clean cloth to remove any debris or residue. Periodically apply a light machine oil to the moving parts to ensure smooth operation. Store the tool in a dry place to prevent rust. Regularly inspect for wearing parts and replace as necessary.

How can I troubleshoot if the riveter is not pulling the rivet correctly?

If the riveter is not pulling the rivet correctly, first check if the nosepiece is the correct size for the rivet. Ensure the rivet is inserted fully into the tool. Check for any obstructions or debris in the tool mechanism. Verify the arms are adjusted correctly and the tool is properly aligned with the workpiece.

What safety precautions should be taken while using the riveter?

Always wear safety goggles to protect your eyes from flying debris. Ensure the workpiece is securely clamped. Keep fingers away from the rivet and nosepiece during operation. Do not apply excessive force on the handles as this can damage the tool.

How do I change the nosepiece on the Clarke 1801879 CHT879 Riveter?

To change the nosepiece, first ensure the tool is not under tension. Use the included wrench to unscrew the current nosepiece. Select the desired size and screw it onto the riveter, ensuring it is tightly secured. Verify alignment and test with a rivet to ensure proper installation.

What should I do if the handle becomes difficult to operate?

If the handle becomes difficult to operate, inspect for any visible damage or misalignment. Lubricate the pivot points with a light oil. Check for any obstructions in the mechanism and remove them. If the problem persists, disassemble the tool and inspect the internal components for wear or damage.

Can I use the riveter for stainless steel rivets?

Yes, the Clarke 1801879 CHT879 Riveter can be used for stainless steel rivets. Ensure you are using the correct nosepiece and settings for stainless steel rivets, as they require more force than aluminum or other softer materials.

What is the maximum rivet size that can be used with this riveter?

The Clarke 1801879 CHT879 Riveter is compatible with rivets up to a maximum size of 1/4 inch. Ensure you use the appropriate nosepiece and settings for larger rivets to prevent tool damage.

How do I adjust the arms for optimal leverage on the riveter?

To adjust the arms for optimal leverage, extend them to the desired length based on your strength and the size of the rivet. Longer arms provide more leverage but may be harder to manage in tight spaces. Ensure the arms are locked in position before use.

What should I do if the rivet mandrel gets stuck in the nosepiece?

If the rivet mandrel gets stuck in the nosepiece, release the handles completely to relieve tension. Use pliers to gently remove the mandrel. If it remains stuck, disassemble the nosepiece and remove any debris or obstruction causing the issue.
