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 an easy handling and a better grip
compared to a two button operation.
Li-Ion batteries do 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
we see 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 and has been
rewarded „
The Blue Angel
“. The oil is suitable for
low temperatures and has excellent lubrication cha-
racteristics.
At the end of a job a print-out via a USB adapter
can be generated documenting the proper function
of the tool.
3.3 Description of the tool indication
See page V, table 1
4. Remarks in respect of the determi-
ned use
4.1 Operation of the units
After having selected the right pressing jaw for the inten-
ded application (page IV, pic. 23) 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.
A pressing procedure will be initiated by actuating the trig-
ger. The pressing process is de
fi
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 leaking
free connection is that the pressing cycle has to
be completed which means that the pressing
jaws completely closed at the tip as well as the
T-link.
Attention
For information concerning the suitability of the
tool with regard to dimension and
fi
eld of ap-
plication (gas/water/heating etc.), please refer
to the documentation of your system manufac-
turer.
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.
4.2 Explanation of the application range
The hand guided pressing tool is to mount
fi
ttings on mul-
ti Layer, copper and stainless steel type plumbing pipes
with Ø 12 to 54 mm, with pressing chain (page IV, pic. 23)
up to 110 mm dependant on the system. The unit is not
supposed to be restrained in a vise. It is not allowed to
use the tool in a stationary application. Complying certain
conditions the unit can be operated stationary with our
presentation support EKST-L. The conditions can be ta-
ken from the instruction manual of the EKST-L.
The tool is not designed for continued pressing opera-
tions. After a sequence of approximately 50 completed
cycles you have to make a break of 15 minutes to give the
unit time to cool down.
Attention
Too intensive use can cause heat damages for
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.
4.3 Mounting instructions
Please reference the assembly manual of the systems
supplier before mounting the
fi
ttings on the pipes. In order
to safeguard a proper pressing and to guaranty a safe
and reliable handling the machine must only be operated
with pressing jaws/~ chains recommended by the provi-
der of the pipe system and/or the tool manufacturer. If
the markings on the tool and pressing jaw do not match
respectively if there are no assembly instructions the user
has to contact the provider of the system to request a
compatibility statement.
Attention
Do not use bent or damaged pressing jaws.
For your job on the location we recommend the accesso-
ries shown on page IV in pic. 23.
