It is not a good idea to leave the air connected whilst cleaning proseal from between the rivet sets, especially if the squeezer is laying trigger side down on the bench.
While a little off topic, I have purchased a used pneumatic squeezer and find it is weak on the rivets in that it wont sqeeze some of the bigger ones.
Do you know if you can rebuild theM? How does one tell if they need rebuilding... I hate ebay.... so much junk on there now and people selling it with disregard for the "other guy"
I keep wondering when someone will actually draw a stroke/force curve, with measurements....and then a manual for these things!

Paul is right, I only noticed it hurting right at the end of the stroke. I used words even I had never heard before. It is on the mend, thank you all for the kind words.

I bought my squeezer second hand from "The Yard" and they had rebuilt it. I now disconnect air/electricity on everything before adjustment.

For dimpling, I would adjust the set to just touching the dies at full stroke.

My instructions from Isham say in bold DO NOT USE ADJUSTABLE SET HOLDER FOR DIMPLING. I have a Model AP214C pnuematic squeezer and end up swapping out the adjustable set for dimpling.
Interesting!! I put the adjustable set in my squeezer and never took it out for the entire build. Made beautiful dimples and never had a problem. Don't remember what squeezer it was, but it was a standard CP from Avery with their adjustable set holder.
