Instruction Manual
3.2 Explanation of the application range
The hand guided pressing tool serves to install fi ttings
on multi Layer, copper and stainless steel type plumbing
pipes with Ø 0.47 to 2.13 inches, with pressing chain
(page IV, pic. 19) up to 4.33 inches depending on the sys-
tem. The unit is not supposed to be restrained in a vise. It
is not allowed to use the tool in a stationary application.
The tool is not designed for continued pressing opera-
tions. After a sequence of approximately 50 completed
cycles, a 15 minute break is required to give the tool time
to cool down.
Attention
Using the tool too intensively can cause heat
damage to the tool
Attention
During the operation of built-in electric motors,
sparks can occur which might ignite highly in-
fl ammable or explosive liquids and materials
Attention
Electric-hydraulic pressing tools must not be
operated in pouring rain or under water.
3.3 Installation instructions
Please reference the installation instructions of the sys-
tems supplier before assembling the fi ttings on the pipes.
In order to ensure a proper pressing and to guarantee
safe and reliable handling, the machine must only be
operated with pressing jaws/chains recommended by the
provider of the pipe system and/or the tool manufacturer.
If the markings on the tool and pressing jaw do not match
or if there are no assembly instructions, the user should
contact the provider of the system to request a compati-
bility statement.
Attention
Do not use bent or damaged pressing jaws.
For your job on the location we recommend the accesso-
ries shown on page VI in pic. 25.
3.4 Service and maintenance instructions
The reliable performance of the tool is dependent on ca-
reful treatment and service. This represents an important
condition to ensure a lasting connection. For optimal per-
formance, the tool should be maintained and serviced
regularly.
We would like to draw your attention to the following
points:
1. The electric-hydraulic pressing unit should be cleaned
and dried after each use before being put into the car-
rying case.
2. In order to ensure proper functioning of the machine,
the pressing tool should be returned to an Authorized
Service Center (ASC) after the LED indicates Service
or after each year, whatever comes fi rst.
3. The battery as well as the charging unit must be protec-
ted against humidity and foreign objects.
4. The bolt joins, the rollers and their guides must be oiled
regularly in small amounts.
5. Check through test compressions or have the ASC
check the tool and pressing jaws regularly for proper
function.
6. Keep pressing jaws clean. Remove dirt or copper buil-
tup with a brush.
In order to avoid possible malfunctions we offer you a ma-
nufacturer service consisting of disassembly, cleaning,
exchange of possibly worn out parts assembly and fi nal
control (see ASC). Only a clean and properly functioning
pressing tool can over time ensure a leak free connec-
tion.
Within the determined use of the tool only the pressing
jaws (page VI, pic. 25) are permitted to be changed by
the installer.
Attention
Do not damage the seal of the tool. If the seal is
broken the warranty is invalid.
