Instruction Manual
The pressing head can be smoothly turned by 350°
around the longitudinal axis in order to gain better
access to tight corners and other diffi cult working
areas.
The unit is equipped with a microprocessor which
shuts off the motor automatically after the com-
pression is completed, indicates service intervals,
checks battery capacity and does a trouble check
e.g. informing the user through acoustical and opti-
cal warning signals about the kind of error.
Power saving function through motor switch-off.
The ergonomically formed compact housing is
made of 2 components. The grip area is rubber
coated and is therefore non-slip. Together with the
improved center of gravity the tool allows fatigue-
free working.
All tool functions can be controlled by
one
trigger.
This results in easy handling and a better grip com-
pared to a two button operation.
Li-Ion batteries neither have a memory effect nor
self discharge. Even after long periods of non ope-
ration the tool is always ready to operate. In addition
there is a lower power weight ratio with 50% more
capacity and shorter charging cycles compared to
NiMH batteries.
The oil used in our tool is highly biologically degra-
deable and not hazardous to water. The oil is suita-
ble for low temperatures and has excellent lubrica-
tion characteristics.
At the end of a job a print-out via a USB adapter
can be generated documenting the proper function
of the tool.

See page VI, Table 1
3. Remarks with respect to the inten-
ded use
3.1 Operation of the tool
After having selected the right pressing jaw for the inten-
ded application (page VI, pic. 25) the jaw must be exami-
ned in terms of possible damage, dirt in the compression
area and ware. When using competitor products the user
has to make sure that the jaw complies with our tool.
Dependant on the type of jaws the protection sleeve (page
III, pic. 13) can be used to adapt to the size of the jaw to
the jaw holder minimizing the potential pinching hazard.
After mounting the fi tting on the tube the pressing jaws
will be opened by pushing the rear ends of the pressing
jaw together while the jaw has to be positioned on the
fi tting.
A pressing procedure will be initiated by actuating the trig-
ger. The pressing process is defi ned by the closing mo-
tion of the pressing jaws. The rollers on top of the ram
close the pressing jaws scissors like.
Attention
A necessary condition for a permanently leak
free connection is that the pressing cycle has
to be completed which means that the pressing
jaws completely close at the tip as well as the
T-link.
Attention
The assembly of gas pipes in gas distribution
lines is prohibited unless the system provider
gives an explicit permission to use this tool on
special gas fi ttings.
Attention
The pressing procedure can be interrupted
at any moment by releasing the trigger (page I,
pic. 1.4).
Attention
The user has to check by optical means whether
the pressing jaws are completely closed.
Attention
If a pressing cycle has been interrupted the fi t-
ting has to be either dismantled or pressed a
second time.
Attention
Do not operate the tool without jaws.
The user needs to make sure that the pressing jaws are
completely closed and that there are no foreign objects
(e.g. plaster or stone fractions) between the pressing
jaws.
