4.2. Attaching/Removing Jaws

To attach or remove a press jaw, first ensure the battery is removed from the tool for safety.

Insert the desired jaw and push the mounting pin until it locks into the closed position. The mounting pin must be fully closed to prevent tool damage during operation.

5. Bedienungsanleitung

5.1. Preparing the Connection

For copper press fittings, ensure the pipe is cut squarely, reamed to remove burrs, and cleaned thoroughly. Mark the tubing using the fitting or an insertion depth gauge to ensure the fitting is properly seated when the press is completed. Always refer to the fitting manufacturer's specific installation instructions.

5.2. Making a Press

1. Reinsert a fully charged battery into the tool. The tool is active once the battery is inserted.
2. Squeeze the jaw arms to open the jaws.
3. Place the open jaws around the fitting and properly align the jaw profile with the contour of the fitting.
4. Release the jaw arms to close the jaws around the fitting. Confirm the jaw is appropriately placed and square to the fitting.
5. Activate the tool by holding the trigger switch. Continue to hold the trigger until the ram automatically retracts. This indicates that the press cycle is complete.

Always keep fingers and hands away from the jaws to avoid crushing injuries.
