Orientation of bucking bar:
1. Rest rivet bucking bar on inserted rivet and try to locate its point of balance.
2. With gun set in place, use rivet bucking bar to push rivet (and gun assembly) outward. Bucking bar will then register at right angles to the rivet as it comes to rest on the aluminum.
3. Push rivet back into place with gun set and reposition rivet bar, if necessary, to maintain its point of balance on the rivet. (Repeat steps 2 and 3 until point of balance is determined). Often the index finger can be placed on the back of the rivet bar directly opposite the rivet tail. It then becomes the 'sensor' for correct bar position.
4. Pressure is held on gun while riveting. Bucking bar is held with only moderate force (otherwise rivet may be set with head proud of surface). A rubber grommet may be used over the rivet tail to assist in squeezing parts together during riveting. It acts as a ‘pressure plate’.
