Introduction The PNT1000L-PC is a lightweight tool for installing POP® brand POP NUT™ blind rivet nuts and other blind threaded inserts by adjusting the setting force to the insert being installed rather than stroke like traditional blind rivet nut tools. Controlling the setting force has the following benefits: • No stroke adjustment is needed for the same nut in multiple application grips. • Eliminated application & nut damage due to “double stroking”.
Safety Instructions TO INSURE PROPER FUNCTIONING AND SAFE OPERATION READ THIS MANUAL CAREFULLY BEFORE SETTING UP OR OPERATING THE POP NUT SERIES TOOLS DEFINITIONS: • CAUTION! – Failure to observe this precaution could result in physical damage or minor injury. • WARNING! – Failure to observe this precaution could result in physical damage, serious injury or even death. CAUTION! 1. DO NOT use this tool in a manner other than that recommended by Emhart Teknologies. 2. DO NOT modify the tool in any way.

Tool Setup Initial Setup 1. Check that the correct Nosepiece and Mandrel are fitted for the POP NUT™. See the Basic Tool Operation section for proper tool adjustment. 2. Connect an air fitting to the Swivel Air Fitting of the tool. The Swivel Air Fitting is a 1/4 NPTF thread. 3. Connect an Air Hose to the tool. 4. Connect an air filter, regulator and lubricator in the air line between the air supply and Air Hose connecting to the tool, within 3m [6 ft ] of the tool. 5.
Mandrel and Nosepiece installation Mandrel Installation 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Disconnect the Air Supply Select the correct Mandrel according to Table 5. Remove the Nosepiece from the tool by loosening the Lock Nut and unscrewing it. Insert the POP NUT™ Mandrel Release tool over the Mandrel and into the Nose Housing. Push in to disengage the Lock Pin Holder from the Mandrel. While holding the Mandrel Release in, unscrew the Mandrel by turning it counter-clockwise.
Basic Tool Operation Before setting POP NUTs™ with this tool, refer to the Safety Instructions and Tool Setup sections of this manual to ensure safe and reliable tool operation. Mandrel & Nosepiece Adjustment 1. Verify that the correct Mandrel and Nosepiece are fitted to the tool for the desired POP NUT™ (See Mandrel and Nosepiece Requirements table in the Specifications section). Nosepiece/Anvil Lock Nut Figure 6: Nosepiece and Lock Nut 2.
Setting Force Valve Spring Selection • • There is one type of spring used with the PNT1000L-PC tool that covers the range of inserts indicated. Review the table below Valve Spring part number.
Tool Operation Loading the POP NUT™ onto the tool 1. Connect the air supply to the tool. 2. Thread the insert 1/4 turn onto the Mandrel. 3. Press the insert against the Mandrel as indicated and the Mandrel will spin, automatically threading the insert onto the Mandrel. 4. Keep pushing the insert onto the Mandrel until the Mandrel stops spinning. If the insert is not fully threaded, the setting stroke will be shortened by the gap between the head of the insert and the Nosepiece.
OK Not OK Not OK Gap Figure 11: Proper insertion of POP NUT™ threaded inserts into an application *Disengaging the tool from the insert • If you let go of the trigger during the installation sequence, the hydraulics will reset, the insert may not set completely and the tool will not unthread from the insert. Do not pull the trigger again, follow the steps below to disengage the insert. To disengage the tool from the insert and application: 1. Depress and hold the Control Knob 2.
Setting Force Adjustment Verify the proper Valve Spring is selected – See “Setting Force Valve Spring Selection“ Adjust the setting force of the tool according to insert size and thickness of work piece as indicated in the instructions below. Test 5 pieces before beginning production work to ensure proper setting of the POP NUT™.
Maintenance Table 8: Maintenance Schedule Frequency Item Details • • • • • • See “Tool Setup” Lubricates internal seals and Air Motor Replace if worn/damaged Prevents insert damage or jamming. Replace if worn/damaged Prevents insert damage or jamming. Inspect Control Nut, T Valve Push Rod. 1000 sets Mandrel breakage • • Prevents loss of Mandrel rotation force.
Recharging Hydraulics • If the stroke gets too short and the tool is unable to properly set an insert the Hydraulic Oil may need to be recharged. Note: If the stroke is still inadequate after recharging, the Hydraulic Seals may need to be replaced. Contact your local distributor for tool repair. Recharging Procedure 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

After replacement of the hydraulic oil, line up the Air Piston Assembly and the Tube Insertion Hole in the Handle Lower and push the Tube into place. 12. Pass the Tube into the tube insertion holes in the Air Piston Assembly and the Handle Lower 13. Replace the Chamber and the four (4) truss head machine screws and tighten 14.
Troubleshooting If you are unable to fix the tool after reviewing this manual and the troubleshooting section, contact your distributor or Emhart Teknologies for repair. Problem Cannot thread the POP NUT™ onto Mandrel Cause Incorrect Mandrel and Nosepiece Mandrel threads are damaged. No forward or reverse rotation of the Mandrel. (Slow rotation) The Mandrel cannot unthread from the insert Metal chip are jammed in Mandrel’s threads. Low air pressure. Insufficient Lubricant.
Problem The Mandrel is damaged, and/or broken Cause Life of the Mandrel Action Replace the Mandrel The setting force is excessive Adjust the setting force correctly Replace the damaged parts Tool is not perpendicular to the work piece during installation Review the proper operating procedure Replace the damaged parts Tool cannot be adjusted to achieve a proper installation Too little hydraulic oil Recharge the hydraulic oil Too much hydraulic oil or air is Recharge the hydraulic oil mixed in hydrau
