Protection measures!
Hexagon/straight shank rivet nut (up to thread 8) with hand rivet gun ZS308
IMPORTANT: Risk of damage! Failure to comply with these instructions may result in the drill bit slipping and causing significant paintwork damage.
1. Mark position of bore and then punch-mark component
IMPORTANT: If the determined drill bit diameter is not observed:
- the knurling on the straight shank rivet nut is rendered useless
- the component will be damaged when the straight shank rivet nut is inserted
Determining suitable drill bit:
Depending on the rivet nut shank diameter, the next drill bit diameter higher (5/10 step) can be used.
E.g. with a shank diameter of 10.1 mm, the 10.5 mm drill bit can be used. The 11.0 mm drill bit must not be used.
2. Drill bore with determined drill bit and deburr, pilot-drill with a smaller drill bit if necessary
3. Clean component, eliminate paintwork damage if necessary
IMPORTANT: To avoid corrosion, stop chips/swarf by means of cavity sealing.
Follow INSTRUCTIONS ON CORROSION PROTECTION.
4. Preserving cavity
IMPORTANT: Follow manufacturer's operating instructions.
Make sure straight shank rivet nut correctly contacts component.
5. Set rivet nut with hand rivet gun
NOTE: According to the manufacturer, the pictured tool is suitable up to an M8 thread.
