3.2 Features
Safety features:
The unit is equipped with a special brake which instantly stops the forward motion of the piston/dies when the trigger
is released.
A white LED illuminates the working space after activating the trigger. It automatically switches off 10 sec. after relea-
sing the trigger. This feature can be deactivated (see page V).
Hydraulic Pressure Check, HPC for short, monitors the oil pressure in the tool’s oil circuit, hence ensuring a conti-
nuous, consistent press quality.
During each pressing cycle, the achieved pressing pressure is determined by a pressure sensor and compared to the
required minimum value. An audible warning signal sounds if the achieved pressure diff ers from the specified working
pressure. The user will know immediately that the fi tting must be checked and repressed or replaced as required.
Functional features:
The hydraulic unit incorporates an automatic retraction which returns the piston into its starting position when the
maximum operating pressure is reached.
A manual retraction allows the user to return the piston into the starting position in case of an incorrect press.
The pressing head can be smoothly turned by 350° around the longitudinal axis in order to gain better access to tight
corners and other diffi cult working areas.
The unit is equipped with a microprocessor (page I, pic. 1.3) which shuts off the motor automatically after the press
is completed, indicates service intervals, checks battery capacity and does a trouble check e.g. informing the user
through audible and visual warning signals about the kind of error.
Power saving function through motor switch-off .
The ergonomically formed compact housing has two important features. The non-slip rubber coated grip area to-
gether with a balanced center of gravity 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 have neither a memory eff ect nor self-discharge. Even after long periods of non-operation the tool
is always ready to operate. In addition, they have a lower power weight ratio with 50% more capacity and shorter
charging cycles compared to NiMH batteries.
The oil used in our tool is rapidly bio-degradable and non-hazardous to water, and has been received “The Blue
Angel” ecolabel. The oil is suitable for low temperatures and has excellent lubrication characteristics.
At the end of a job a print-out via a USB adapter (not included) can be generated documenting the proper function
of the tool.
