D T-Rivet with ø6.4 mm:

Do not place your hands or the wire harness within
a radius of 20 mm (0.70 in.) from the rivet, as the riv-
et is cut and opened in this area.

D Prizing a riveter damages the riveter showing that it

is not tightened correctly and bends the mandrel.

D Loose tightening may result from either tilting the

riveter while handling or the riveter not connecting
to the material.

D Loose tightening also occurs when a rivet is applied

between materials without touching.

D T-Rivet with ø6.4 mm:

When a mandrel of a rivet is lost, the rivet should be
replaced to prevent loose tightening.
