Description of functions
The low-pressure hose crimping tool X100 is manually operated and does not require electricity or
compressed air for its operation.
The working pressure is generated by depressing the hand lever. The necessary force can be applied by any
person of average strength using only one hand.
Instructions for safe transport
When moving the unit, it is necessary to observe the relevant workplace safety regulations! When
transporting the unit, do not walk backwards! Please observe the normal accident prevention
regulations relating to the unit's weight. Make sure that the unit is not subjected to high-force impacts
of any kind: such impacts can cause damage to parts of the unit.
Installation
The low-pressure hose crimper X100 must be bolted in place on a stable, strongly-built, level base.
Always make sure that you have enough space to work and are not hindered or endangered by
adjacent equipment. There must always be good onsite workplace lighting that fulfills the
requirements of any applicable national rules and regulations.
Caution!
A messy workplace or inadequate lighting can lead to accidents,
Always keep your work area clean and make sure there is good
lighting. Do not leave tools or other objects in the immediate work
area.
Do not place the unit too close to the wall or to other machines or objects.
The crimping press X100 is supplied ready for use.
Before using, it must be bolted to a fixed workbench or another suitable base
using M8 bolts
Note!
Before using the unit, make sure that it cannot tip over during use
by anchoring it securely to the workbench or base
Always ensure that there is adequate lighting before working with the unit.
Caution!
Risk of injury!
Do not interfere with the operation of the press. Never allow two
persons to work at the machine simultaneously.
Watch out for excess material falling from the press. The falling
material could injure your feet. Do not let any tools or other
objects lie around in the immediate work area.
The preassembled hose can be loaded into the open crimping jaws from either the left or right side.
The downward movement of the hand lever crimps the sleeve uniformly, with a tight seal.
During operation, make sure that the crimping jaws are positioned correctly on the sleeve. Only in
this way is it possible to ensure that the contact surface is optimal. Follow the specifications of the
manufacturer of the fittings.
The design principle of the crimper eliminates the possibility of excessive crimping pressure that
can ruin the hose.
The crimper comes standard with two sets of crimping jaws:
one for hoses of DN3-8; and a second for hoses of DN10-16.
Changing the crimping jaws is done by loosening the 3 screws holding the cover
(it is not necessary to remove the screws).
The cover can then be removed by turning it slightly.
The jaws can then be easily removed. Place the replacement set with the pins on the crimping jaws
in the guide grooves of the cam disc. Replace the cover and tighten the three screws.
The interior of the tool does not need to be greased. It is enough to give it a little
Teflon spray when changing the jaws.
