4.1 Selecting the Correct Nose Grip and Rivet
The RT188M comes with four color-coded nose grips, each corresponding to a specific rivet size. Match the nose grip to the diameter of the rivet you intend to use. The nose grips can be easily screwed in and out by hand without the need for additional tools.
- ສີແດງ: For 3/32 inch (2mm) rivets.
- ສີຂຽວ: For 1/8 inch (3mm) rivets.
- ສີຟ້າ: For 5/32 inch (4mm) rivets.
- ສີເຫຼືອງ: For 3/16 inch (5mm) rivets.

4.2 Determining Rivet Length and Material Thickness
Choose a rivet length appropriate for the total thickness of the materials being joined. The rivet should extend slightly beyond the material thickness to allow for proper formation of the blind head.
Figure 4: Diagram showing how to select the correct rivet length based on material thickness (A+B). The rivet diameter should be approximately 1.5 times the material thickness.
4.3 Loading a Rivet
- Select the correct nose grip for your rivet and screw it onto the tool.
- Insert the rivet mandrel (the pin) into the nose grip of the rivet gun until the rivet head rests against the nose piece.

5.1 Fastening with the Rivet Gun
- Drill a hole through the materials to be joined, ensuring the hole diameter matches the rivet diameter.
- Insert the loaded rivet into the drilled hole.
- Position the rivet gun firmly against the workpiece, ensuring the rivet head is flush with the surface.
- Squeeze the handles of the rivet gun together with a firm, steady motion. You may need to squeeze multiple times until the rivet mandrel snaps off.
- Release the handles. The rivet is now set, and the mandrel will fall out of the tool.

| ບັນຫາ | ສາເຫດທີ່ເປັນໄປໄດ້ | ການແກ້ໄຂ |
|---|---|---|
| Rivet mandrel does not snap off or rivet is not set properly. | Incorrect nose grip size; insufficient squeezing force; worn jaws. | Ensure correct nose grip is installed. Apply more force when squeezing. Inspect jaws for wear and replace if necessary. |
| Rivet gun jams. | Mandrel pieces stuck in jaws; using incorrect rivet type (e.g., all-steel 3/16"). | Clear any stuck mandrel pieces from the jaws. Ensure you are using compatible rivets as specified in the manual. |
| Difficulty squeezing handles. | Using rivets that are too large or too hard for the tool's capacity. | Verify rivet size and material compatibility with the tool's specifications. |
