3. Confirm jaw is appropriately placed and
square to fitting. Keep fingers and hands
away from the jaws to avoid crushing in-
juries in jaws or between jaws and sur-
roundings.
Depress the run switch (Figure 1/2). Once
the tool cycle begins and the rollers con-
tact the jaw arms, the tool will lock-on
and automatically complete the cycle.
Releasing the switch will not stop the tool
once it has locked on. This assures con-
sistent, repeatable press joint integrity.
If tool must be removed before a con-
nection is completed, depress the pres-
sure release button (Figure 1/2). Any time
release button is depressed, press is
NOT complete and the connection must
be pressed again to ensure completion. If
the tool malfunctions during operation,
use this procedure.
4. Release the run switch.
5. Squeeze jaw arms to open jaws.

Pressing A Fitting With
Typical Actuator And Press
Ring Set
1. Open ring and place around fitting. Pro -
perly align ring press profile with contour of
the fitting as specified in Fitting Manu-
facturer's Installation Instructions. Release
ring to close around fitting.
2. Confirm appropriate actuator is installed in
tool. Squeeze actuator arms to open the
actuator tips. Align actuator tips with ring
pockets. Release actuator arms and fully
engage actuator tips into ring pockets.
Misaligning actuator tip to ring pocket
can damage the ring or actuator during
pressing. Do not hang tool and actuator
from press ring. Tool could unexpectedly
drop and cause serious injury or death.
3. Confirm ring is appropriately placed and
square to fitting. Keep fingers and hands
away from the actuator and ring to avoid
crushing injuries in attachment or be-
tween attachment and surroundings.
Depress the run switch. Once the tool
cycle begins and the rollers contact the
jaw arms, the tool will lock-on and auto-
matically complete the cycle. Releasing
the switch will not stop the tool once it has
locked on. This assures consistent, re-
peatable press joint integrity.
If tool must be removed before a con-
nection is completed, depress the re-
lease button (Figure 1/2). Any time re-
lease button is depressed, press is NOT
complete and the connection must be
pressed again to ensure completion. If
the tool malfunctions during operation,
use this procedure.
