5. TOOL PREPARATION

Checking the Tool Status

The red/white LEDs and the signal tone together with the electronic control system serves to provide information about the battery charge levels

and the tool.

Red White Signal

LED LED Tone Information Cause

Self-test! If the red LED ashes two times after the battery is inserted, this

2x means the electronic control has performed its self-test satisfactorily.

To perform the self test, rst remove the battery, pull the operating

trigger, then insert a battery into the tool.

Battery is empty! If the red LED displays a steady light for about 20 seconds after a

20s work operation, the battery is empty and needs to be charged.

Service! If the red LED slowly ashes for about 20 seconds upon completion

20s of a work operation, this means maintenance needs to be carried out.

slow ash The tool should be sent to a REHAU authorized service center as soon

as possible.

Battery is empty! If the red LED lights up for 20 seconds and then ashes, this means the

20s+ Service! battery is empty and also that maintenance is due.

20s slow ash

Overheating! If the red LED ashes quickly for about 20 seconds, this means that the

20s fast ash tool is overheated. Allow the device to cool down before using it again.

Compression force! If the red and white LEDs ash once and tool emits a signal tone during

1x 1x the compression step, either the necessary compression force was not

reached or the compression step was manually interrupted. The con-

nection may not have been properly completed and must be inspected.

Compression force! If the red and white LEDs ash three times and tool emits a signal tone

3x 3x Service! during the compression step, then there is a serious malfunction. The

necessary compression force is not being reached when the motor

is running. The connection may not have been properly completed and

must be inspected. The tool should be sent to the REHAU authorized

service center for repair as soon as possible.

Charging the Battery

Refer to the MAKITA instruction manual for charging the battery and safe operation of the battery charger.

4. CERTIFICATIONS

The tool with the attached battery is listed to the relevant US and Canadian standards under UL 60745 and CSA C22.2. The charger is listed to

the relevant US and Canadian standards under UL 1012 and CSA C22.2 No. 107.2.

1. Check the tool and tool components for damage or visible wear

prior to every use. Damaged tool components must not be used.

Damaged tools should be sent back to the REHAU authorized

service center for repair.

WARNING! Improper handling of the tool can result in injury and

property damage.

2. To remove the battery, withdraw it from the tool while depressing

the button on the front of the battery.

WARNING! Disconnect the battery pack from the power tool

before making any adjustments or changing accessories. Such

preventative measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool

accidentally.

6. USING THE TOOL

3. Slide the expansion adapter into the correct slot.

4. Securely lock the expander head into position.

5. Slide the compression jaws into the correct slots.

6. Install the handle to the tool. The handle must be installed

securely before operation.

WARNING! Always hold the tool rmly with your second hand on

the handle to avoid trapping your ngers from moving parts.

7. The black jaw must be placed on the tting and the silver jaw

must be placed behind the sleeve.

8. If necessary, rotate the tool housing to make it easier to assemble

the tting.

9. If necessary, index the compression jaws from the top to the side

of the tool (+/- 90°) to make it easier to compress the tting

assembly.

10. If necessary, swap and ip the compression jaws to make it easier

to compress the tting assembly.

11. If necessary, remove the expansion adapter to make it easier to

compress the tting assembly. Press the release lever and slide

the adapter off the slot to remove.

12. To insert the battery, push it completely into the foot of the tool

housing until it locks into position. NOTICE: For use only with

MAKITA batteries BL1830B, BL1840B or BL1850B

13. Press the operating trigger for expansion or compression.

WARNING! Do not touch moving parts. Avoid trapping ngers.

14. If necessary, press the reset button to return tool to initial

position.

15. Always return the tool to the initial position before installing/

removing the expander head or the adapter, or storing.

7. FITTING ASSEMBLY

8. IMPORTANT NOTES

Refer to the REHAU EVERLOC+ Compression-sleeve System Product Instructions for the assembly of EVERLOC+ ttings with this tool.

Failure to observe these precautions may result in property damage

and damage to the tool.

- The sound of the relief valve and the piston automatically retracting

indicates a completed cycle. If you do not hear the sound of the relief

valve or the piston does not automatically retract, the mechanical

connection must be inspected.

- Never use a damaged expander head as this will damage the pipe

and could result in leaks and property damage.

- This tool shall not be used in damp or wet environments. Electric-

hydraulic tools should not be operated in pouring rain or under water.

Damage may result when the electrical components are soaked.

Keep the tool, the batteries and the charger away from moisture,

extreme heat, oil and solvents. The charger is only intended for use

in dry, indoor rooms.

- Do not operate the tool in extreme hot or cold conditions. Processing

at temperatures below 14°F (-10°C) and above 104°F (+40°C)

might result in damage to the tool.

- Do not use this tool for continuous use. Too intensive use can cause

heat damage to the tool. To prevent the motor from overheating, do

not operate at maximum pressure for a prolonged period. After

about 50 consecutive compressions, let the tool rest for at least

15 min. to allow it to cool.

- Regularly grease the expansion cone with the lubricant tube included

in the kit. To avoid excess grease entering the pipe, do not grease

the cone too much. Do not grease the expander head segments that

are in contact with the pipe.

9. MAINTENANCE NOTES

Regular Inspections

- Inspect the tool, head and components for damage or defects (e.g.,

oil leaks from the tool, bent compression cylinders, damage or

visible wear of the jaw sets). Check whether the moving parts are

working properly, not jammed and not damaged. All parts must be

correctly assembled and satisfy all of the conditions to ensure

proper tool operation. Maintain power tools thoroughly. Check for

functionality or jamming of moving parts, breakage of parts and any

other condition that may affect the power tool's operation.

- Regularly grease the expansion cone. Do not apply grease to the

surface of the expander head segments. Should excess grease

reach the segments, the segments must be thoroughly cleaned with

cleaning solvent and then dried.

- Always remove the battery before cleaning and inspecting the tool.

Avoid risk of injury from unintended tool starts.

- Always keep jaw sets, expander heads and tool head clean. When

soiled, clean with a brush and oil these components. Then store the

tool in a dry place.

- Before every use, check the tool and tool components for damage or

visible wear. Damaged tools must not be used and should immedi-

ately be sent to an authorized service center for repair.

Repairs

- Do not perform any repairs on the tool yourself. Repairs should only

be carried out by the REHAU authorized service center. Hydraulic

leaks can cause serious injury.

- Contractors should contact the local REHAU sales ofce or visit

na.rehau.com for directions on sending the tool for service.

- Contractors should contact MAKITA®at www.makita.com or

1-800-462-5482 for service on the battery and charger.

Warranty

- When sending parts for service, it is important to include the original

purchase documentation to maximize the warranty period.

- Refer to the REHAU PEXa Limited Warranty for details about the

warranty on the tool.

- Contact MAKITA for warranty terms and conditions for the battery

and charger.

Storage

- Never store the tool if wet. Dry the tool and properly lubricate it.

Then store it in a dry place.

- As a matter of principle, store the tool in the initial position to extend

its service life.

- Do not store the tool, battery or charger below -4°F (-20°C) or

above 122°F (50°C). Damage can result.

Transportation

- Transport and store the tool with a tted expander head to reduce

risk of injury or contamination.
