Follow these steps to properly use the Walfront BC-BT958 Manual Riveting Tool:

6.1 Loading a Rivet

1. Ensure the tool handles are fully open.
2. Insert the mandrel (the pin) of the rivet into the nosepiece of the tool until the rivet head rests against the nosepiece.

6.2 Performing the Riveting Action

1. Position the rivet into the pre-drilled hole in your workpiece. Ensure the rivet head is flush against the material.
2. Firmly squeeze the handles of the riveting tool together. You will feel resistance as the tool pulls the mandrel, causing the rivet body to expand and form a blind head on the opposite side of the material.
3. Continue squeezing until the mandrel snaps off, indicating the rivet is properly set.
