Using this Milwaukee lockbolt tool is straightforward. First, make sure your M18 REDLITHIUM battery is fully charged and properly inserted into the tool. For lockbolt installation, select the appropriate lockbolt and insert it into the workpiece. Then, place the tool's nose over the lockbolt and pull the trigger. The tool will use its powerful motor to pull the lockbolt into place. If you want to use it for blind rivets, you'll need to purchase the M18 1/4' Lockbolt to Blind Rivet Tool Conversion Kit. Just attach the kit as per the instructions and follow the same trigger - pulling process for rivet installation. When it comes to maintenance, after each use, wipe down the tool with a clean, dry cloth. Check the all - metal gearcase and other parts for any signs of damage. If you've used it in a corrosive environment, clean it more thoroughly. Store the tool in a dry place and keep the battery in a cool, dry area when not in use. Remember, the REDLINK PLUS™ Intelligence is there to protect the tool and battery, but avoid overloading the tool or leaving it in extremely hot or cold conditions. And don't forget, you can use the ONE - KEY™ feature to keep track of your tool's location and usage.
