How to Use the Revolver

Revolver with labeled parts.

Opening a Chain

• Turn the breech (b) to position 1.
• Place the chain in the comb (c), using a finger to hold the link in position .
• By tightening the knurled nut (a), clamp the breech (b) firmly against the chain. The link is now secured in the comb (c).
• Rotate the spindle clockwise until it touches the pin. After contact is made turn the spindle (d) approx. 4 and a half revolutions for Super-Narrow-Chains (6.65-7,1mm), or approx. 5 revolutions for all other chains (7.2 mm-7.5 mm).
• Turn the spindle (d) back, unscrew the knurled nut (a) and remove the chain from the tool.
• Bend the link slightly and pull the chain apart.
  

Connecting and Riveting a Chain

• Grease the chain ends and snap them together.
• Turn the breech (b) to position 2 for Super-Narrow-Chains (6.65-7,1 mm), or to position 3 for all other chains (7.2 -7.5 mm).
• Place the link to be connected in the comb (c) with the pin through the link on the spindle (d) side. Using a finger, hold the link in the comb.
• Turn the spindle lightly against the pin, so that the chain sits securely in the comb (c).
• By tightening the knurled nut (a), clamp the breech (b) against the chain.
• By turning the spindle (d), push the pin through the pin hole until it touches the breech (b), and then turn it approx. a further 1/2 revolution. (You may have to use some force).
• Turn the spindle (d) back and unscrew the knurled nut (a).
• The pin heads are marked after being riveted. Chains should never be riveted more than once at the same point.
