Default Rivet tool usage

Happy Halloween weekend Gents. Can someone tell me how to use a rivet set tool? I have tried to figure out how to manually beat a rivet in place, and some advice would be great. I can provide picture if this is helpful, but I purchased these tools from Corvette Central. Thanks in advance.

You are much too much. Thanks. I will go to Harbor Freight tomorrow and see if I can get the appropriate air attachment tool. I am very much appreciative as I rebuild my '66.
