To insert the press jaw
Remove battery!
Open the bolt (1).
Insert the appropriate press jaw for the job in hand (2).
Lock the bolt (3).
After changing the press jaw it is essential to ensure that, once engaged, the crimping jaw
matches the profile being moulded and the nominal width of the fitting being moulded. A visual
inspection must be carried out in order to determine that the press jaw is fully closed at the end
of the press cycle.
3.7
Operation
Use only system-compatible press fittings and press jaws designed for them. The nominal size
of the press jaw must be identical with the nominal size of the press fitting.
When inserting the pipe / press fitting system, there is a risk of crush injuries for the
fingers or other body parts near the press jaw!
Push the press fitting on to the pipe (1). Pull the press jaw apart and insert the pipe with the
press fitting at right angles.
There must be no foreign bodies between the press contour and the fitting. If you fail to
ensure this, the pressing process will not produce a perfect joint!
Press the ON button until the pressing process has been completed (2). The motor cut out
indicates the end of the moulding cycle.
Push the press jaw apart and take the machine off the joint (3).
Do not start the machine while the piston retracts or the emergency shutdown is pressed!
