The invention provides a blind rivet setting device (1). The blind rivet setting device includes a housing; a pulling mechanism (2, 3) arranged in the housing; an electric motor (6); a control device (6), which is structured and arranged to control the motor; and an operating device (13) that is connected to the control device (11). The pulling mechanism (2, 3) is capable of moving out from a rivet receiving position along a pulling direction (10). People hope to optimize speed and energy consumption in an installation process of a rivet. Thus, the control device (11) is provided with a tear-off identification device (17) which generates a mandrel tear-off signal during tear-off of a mandrel and when the mandrel tear-off signal is generate d, the control device (11) stops the driving of the pulling mechanism (2, 3) in the pulling direction (10).
