WARNING
Improper handling of the power tool can increase the risk of pinch or
crush injury. The tool is designed for one-handed operation and there
are no gripping surfaces outside of the control handle. To reduce the
risk of serious personal injury:
- Wrap your fingers tightly around the control handle as shown in this
manual.
- Keep a secure grasp on the tool during work.
- Use only your index finger to trigger the tool. Using other fingers to
trigger the tool may cause you to lose control of the power tool or
increase risk of personal injury, including pinch injuries.
- Keep hands away from the expander head during operation..
4. Insert expander head into end of RAUPEX pipe.
- Fully insert the expander head into the end of the pipe ensuring
the sleeve is slid past the end of the expander segments.
- Ensure the end of the pipe makes contact with the first step of
the expander head.
- Ensure the compression sleeve is a minimum of two times the
length of the sleeve from the end of the pipe. The compression
sleeve must not be in the expansion zone.
NOTICE
Do not expand the pipe and sleeve together. This could cause leakage
of the finished joint.
WARNING
Moving parts can crush and cut. This power tool uses a strong
hydraulic force to expand RAUPEX PEXa pipe and compress
components of the REHAU EVERLOC+ compression-sleeve system.
To reduce the risk of serious personal injury during operation:
- Never touch the expander head during operation.
- Keep hands and other parts of your body away from the expander
head during operation..
5. Expand RAUPEX pipe twice.
- Once the expander head is fully inserted into the pipe, press the
trigger on the power tool.
- Ensure the expander head is rotated 1/2 of one expander head
segment between expansions.
- Remove the expander head from the pipe.

WARNING
In the event of a pinch or unintended compression, release the
hydraulic pressure with the release button.
WARNING
Rotating the tool too quickly after the first expansion can dislodge the
expander head from the expander adapter, causing it to fall off the
tool, which may result in damage to the expander head or personal
injury.
6. Insert EVERLOC+ compression-sleeve fitting into expanded
RAUPEX pipe.
- Push the fitting into the pipe so that the end of the pipe is
contacting the pipe stop of the fitting.
- If the fitting does not insert far enough, remove the fitting and
repeat the expansion process so that the fitting can be properly
inserted.
Compressing the Sleeve Onto the Fitting
To pull the compression sleeve over the pipe and fitting to complete
the assembly process, refer to Section 4.2 Fitting Assembly 1 1/4 to
2 in. under the heading Compressing the Sleeve Onto the Fitting. This
step completes the fitting installation process.
