10. Release Pressure Gradually:

    • After completing the riveting process, release the pressure on the handles gradually to avoid sudden movements that could cause injury.

11. Store Safely:

    • When not in use, store the hand riveter in a safe place, away from children and unauthorized users. Keep it in a location where it won't fall or be subjected to damage.

12. Proper Tool Maintenance:
