General Safety Rules*
WARNING
Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure
to follow the warnings and instructions may result
in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS
FOR FUTURE REFERENCE!
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your
mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated
(cordless) power tool.
Work Area Safety
•Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or
dark areas invite accidents.
•Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo-
spheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
•Keep children and by-standers away while oper-
ating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose
control.
Electrical Safety
•Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adap-
ter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce
risk of electric shock.
•Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded sur-
faces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrig-
erators. There is an increased risk of electrical shock
if your body is earthed or grounded.
•Do not expose power tools to rain or wet condi-
tions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk
of electrical shock.
•Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase
the risk of electric shock.
•When operating a power tool outdoors, use an
extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a
cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of elec-
tric shock.
•If operating a power tool in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit interrupter
(GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the
risk of electric shock.

Personal Safety
•Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use com-
mon sense when operating a power tool. Do not
use a power tool while you are tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A mo-
ment of inattention while operating power tools may
result in serious personal injury.
•Use personal protective equipment. Always wear
eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
•Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch
is in the OFF-position before connecting to power
source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying
the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the
switch or energizing power tools that have the switch
ON invites accidents.
•Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turn-
ing the power tool ON. A wrench or a key left
attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result
in personal injury.
•Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and bal-
ance at all times. This enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.
•Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long
hair can be caught in moving parts.
•If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use of dust collection
can reduce dust-related hazards.
Power Tool Use And Care
•Do not force power tool. Use the correct power tool
for your application. The correct power tool will do the
job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
•Do not use power tool if the switch does not turn it
ON. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with
the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
•Disconnect the battery pack from the power tool
before making any adjustments, changing acces-
sories, or storing power tools. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power
tool accidentally.
RP 200-B Press Tool
•Store idle power tools out of the reach of children
and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the pow-
er tool or these instructions to operate the power
tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
•Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the power tool’s op-
eration. If damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
•Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly main-
tained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.
•Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.
in accordance with these instructions, taking into
account the working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for operations dif-
ferent from those intended could result in a hazardous
situation.
Battery Tool Use And Care
•Recharge only with the charger specified by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type
of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with
another battery pack.
•Use power tools only with specifically designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and fire.
•When battery pack is not in use, keep it away
from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins,
keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects
that can make a connection from one terminal to
another. Shorting the battery terminals together may
cause burns or a fire.
•Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact acciden-
tally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts
eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected
from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
Service
•Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is
maintained.

Description, Specifications
And Standard Equipment
Description
The RP 200-B Press Tool, when used with appropriate
jaws, is designed to mechanically press fittings onto tubing
to create a water-tight and permanent seal. When the
switch on the RP 200-B is depressed, an internal electric
motor powers a hydraulic pump which forces fluid into
the cylinder of the tool, forcing the ram forward and apply-
ing thousands of pounds of pressing force onto specially
designed fittings. Attachments are also available for other
uses.
The entire cycle duration is approximately four (4) sec-
onds. Once the cycle begins to deform a fitting, it will auto-
matically continue until completion, even if the trigger
switch is released. The LED light on the front of the tool
will blink to indicate issues such as improper temperature,
low battery, or maintenance required.
The RP 200-B comes with two (2) fabric loops that can be
used with appropriate attachments such as shoulder
straps or tie off lines.

Inspecting The Pressed Connection
1. Inspect the pressed fitting. If the fitting is supplied with
a control ring and/or a control label by the fitting
manufacturer, remove it. Control rings and labels
are supplied by the manufacturer to indicate that the
fitting has not yet been pressed. Removal of the con-
trol ring and label indicates to others that the con-
nection has been pressed.
Look for the following:
• Excessive misalignment of the tubes. Note that a
slight amount of misalignment at the pressed con-
nection is considered normal.
• Tubes that are not fully inserted into the fitting –
double check the insertion marks made on the
tube to see that they are still aligned with the end of
the fitting.
• Incorrect jaw or ring alignment with the fitting con-
tour, distorted or deformed fitting.
• Any other issues per the fitting manufacturer.
If any of these problems are found, then removal of
the fitting is required and a new fitting and tube will
need to be prepared and pressed in its place.
2. Test system in accordance with normal practice and
local codes.
3. See fitting system’s operator’s manual for specific
inspection criteria.

Consignes générales de sécurité*
AVERTISSEMENT
Familiarisez-vous avec l’ensemble des consignes
de sécurité et d’utilisation ci-présentes afin d’éviter
les risques de choc électrique, d’incendie et/ou
de grave blessure corporelle.
CONSERVEZ L’ENSEMBLE DES CONSIGNES
DE SECURITE ET D’UTILISATION POUR
FUTURE RÉFÉRENCE !
Le terme «appareil électrique» utilisé dans les consignes
de sécurité signifie à la fois les appareils sur secteur et les
appareils à piles (sans fils).
Sécurité du chantier
•Assurez-vous de la propreté et du bon éclairage
des lieux. Les lieux de travail encombrés ou mal
éclairés sont une invitation aux accidents.
•N’utilisez pas d’appareils électriques en présence
de substances volatiles telles que liquides, gaz ou
poussières combustibles. Les appareils électriques
produisent des étincelles susceptibles d’enflammer
les poussières et émanations combustibles.
•Eloignez les enfants et les curieux durant l’utili-
sation des appareils électriques. Les distractions
risquent de vous faire perdre le contrôle de l’appareil.
Sécurité électrique
•La fiche électrique de l’appareil doit correspondre
à la prise de courant utilisée. Ne tentez jamais de
modifier la fiche. N’utilisez jamais d’adaptateur
sur une fiche électrique avec mise à la terre. Les
fiches intactes et adaptées aux prises de courant util-
isées limitent les risques de choc électrique.
•Evitez tout contact avec des objets reliés à la
terre tels que canalisations, radiateurs, cuisinières
et réfrigérateurs. Tout contact avec la terre aug-
menterait les risques de choc électrique.
•N’exposez pas l’appareil à la pluie ou aux intem-
péries. Toute pénétration d’eau à l’intérieur d’un
appareil électrique augmenterait les risques de choc
électrique.
•Ne maltraitez pas le cordon d’alimentation de
l’appareil. Ne jamais utiliser le cordon d’alimenta-
tion pour porter, tirer ou débrancher l’appareil.
Eloignez le cordon d’alimentation des sources de
Symboles de sécurité
Les symboles et mots clés utilisés à la fois dans ce mode d’emploi et sur l’appareil lui-même servent à signaler
d’importants risques de sécurité. Ce qui suit permettra de mieux comprendre la signification de ces mots clés et symboles.
Ce symbole sert à vous avertir de risques d’accident potentiels. Le respect des consignes qui le suivent vous permettra d’éviter
les risques d’accidents graves ou mortelles.
Le terme DANGER signifie une situation dangereuse potentielle qui, faute d’être évitée, provoquerait la mort ou de
graves blessures corporelles.
Le terme AVERTISSEMENT signifie une situation dangereuse potentielle qui, faute d’être évitée, serait sus-
ceptible d’entraîner la mort ou de graves blessures corporelles.
Le terme CAUTION signifie une situation dangereuse potentielle qui, faute d’être évitée, serait susceptible
d’entraîner des blessures corporelles légères ou modérées.
Le terme AVIS IMPORTANT signifie des informations concernant la protection des biens.
Ce symbole indique la nécessité de bien se familiariser avec le mode d’emploi avant d’utiliser ce matériel. Le mode
d’emploi renferme d’importantes consignes de sécurité et d’utilisation du matériel.
Ce symbole indique le port obligatoire de lunettes de sécurité lors de la manipulation ou utilisation du matériel.
Ce symbole signale un risque d’écrasement des mains, des doigts ou d’autres parties du corps.
Ce symbole signifie un risque de choc électrique.
* Le texte utilisé dans la section Consignes générales de sécurité de ce mode d’emploi est une reproduction fidèle des aléas obligatoires correspondants de la
norme UL/CSA 60745. Cette section couvre les consignes de sécurité applicables à de nombreux types d’appareils électriques. Les précautions indiquées ne
sont pas toutes applicables à chaque type d’appareil, et certaines ne s’appliquent pas à celui-ci.

chaleur, de l’huile, des objets tranchants et des
mécanismes. Les cordons d’alimentation endom-
magés ou enchevêtrés augmentent les risques de
choc électrique.
•Lors de l’utilisation d’un appareil électrique à
l’extérieur, prévoyez une rallonge électrique homo-
loguée pour usage extérieur. L’utilisation d’une ral-
longe électrique homologuée pour usage extérieur
limitera les risques de choc électrique.
•S’il est nécessaire d’utiliser un appareil électrique
dans des lieux mouillés, prévoyez une source
d’alimentation protégée par disjoncteur différentiel.
L’utilisation d’un disjoncteur différentiel réduit les
risques de choc électrique.
Sécurité individuelle
•Soyez attentif, restez concentré et faites preuve
de bon sens lors de l’utilisation d’un appareil élec-
trique. N’utilisez pas d’appareil électrique lorsque
vous êtes sous l’influence de drogues, de l’alcool
ou de médicaments. Lors de l’utilisation d’un appareil
électrique, un instant d’inattention risque d’entraîner de
graves lésions corporelles.
•Prévoyez les équipements de protection indi-
viduelle nécessaires. Portez systématiquement
une protection oculaire. Le port d’équipements de
protection tels que masque à poussière, chaussures
antidérapantes, casque de chantier et protecteurs
d’oreilles limite les risques de lésions corporelles.
•Evitez les démarrages accidentels en vous assur-
ant que l’interrupteur marche/arrêt de l’appareil
se trouve en position «arrêt» avant de le brancher,
d’y introduire le bloc-piles ou de prendre l’appareil
en main. Le fait de porter un appareil électrique avec
son doigt sur la gâchette, voire de le brancher lorsque
son interrupteur se trouve en position «marche» serait
une invitation aux accidents.
•Retirez toutes clés de réglage éventuelles avant de
mettre l’appareil en marche. Une clé laissée sur un
élément rotatif quelconque de l’appareil risque de
provoquer des accidents.
•Ne vous mettez pas en porte-à-faux. Maintenez
une bonne position de travail et un bon équilibre à
tout moment. Cela vous permettra de mieux con-
trôler l’appareil en cas d’imprévu.
•Habillez-vous de manière appropriée. Ne portez ni
vêtements amples, ni bijoux. Eloignez vos che-
veux, vos vêtements et vos gants des mécan-
ismes. Les vêtements flottants, les bijoux et les
cheveux longs risquent d’être entraînés par les élé-
ments rotatifs de l’appareil.
Sertisseuse RP 200-B
•En présence d’un système de récupération et
d’évacuation des poussières, assurez-vous que
celui-ci est correctement raccordé et utilisé. L’emploi
de récupérateurs de poussière sert à limiter les risques
sanitaires liés à la présence de poussières.
Utilisation et entretien des appareils
électriques
•Ne forcez pas l’appareil. Prévoyez l’appareil appro-
prié en fonction des travaux envisagés. L’appareil
approprié fera le travail plus efficacement et avec un
plus grand niveau de sécurité lorsqu’il tourne au régime
prévu.
•N’utilisez pas d’appareil électrique dont l’interrup-
teur n’assure pas sa mise en marche ou son arrêt.
Tout appareil électrique qui ne peut pas être contrôlé
par son interrupteur est dangereux et doit être réparé.
•Retirez le bloc-piles de l’appareil avant tout ré-
glage, stockage ou changement d’accessoires.
De telles mesures préventives limiteront les risques de
démarrage accidentel de l’appareil.
•Rangez tout appareil non utilisé hors de la portée
des enfants et des individus qui n’ont pas été
familiarisés avec ce type de matériel ou son mode
d’emploi. Les appareils électriques sont dangereux
entre les mains d’utilisateurs non initiés.
•Entretenez les appareils électriques. Examinez-les
pour signes de grippage, de bris et de toute autre
anomalie qui risquerait de nuire à leur bon fonc-
tionnement. Le cas échéant, fait réparer l’appareil
avant de l’utiliser. De nombreux accidents sont provo-
qués par des appareils électriques mal entretenus.
•Assurez le bon affûtage et la propreté des outils de
coupe. Les outils de coupe bien entretenus et bien
affûtés sont moins susceptibles de gripper et sont
plus faciles à contrôler.
•Servez-vous de l’appareil, de ses accessoires, de
ses mèches, etc. selon les consignes du mode
d’emploi et des conditions de travail présentes.
L’utilisation d’un appareil électrique à des fins autres
que celles prévues pourrait s’avérer dangereuse.
Utilisation et entretien des appareils à
piles
•N’utilisez que le chargeur prévu par le fabricant.
L’utilisation d’un chargeur inadapté augmenterait les
risques d’incendie électrique.
•N’utilisez que le type de bloc-piles préconisé.
L’utilisation d’un bloc-piles inadapté augmenterait les
risques de blessure et d’incendie électrique.

Description, caractéristiques
techniques et équipements de
base
Description
Equipée des mâchoires appropriées, la sertisseuse RP
200-B assure le sertissage mécanique étanche et per-
manent des raccords de tuyauterie. Lorsque l’on appui sur
la gâchette de la RP 200-B, son moteur électrique actionne
une pompe hydraulique qui, à son tour, envoi du fluide
sous plusieurs milliers de livres de pression dans le cylin-
dre de l’appareil pour engager son piston contre des rac-
cords à sertir spécialement prévus. Des accessoires sont
également prévus pour d’autres types d’applications.
Le cycle de sertissage au complet dure environ quatre (4)
secondes. Lorsque le cycle est entamé, il se poursuit
automatiquement jusqu’au sertissage complet du rac-
cord, même si l’on relâche la gâchette. Le témoin LED à
l’avant de l’appareil clignotera en cas d’éventuelles
anomalies, telles qu’une température inadaptée, un bloc-
piles déchargé ou un besoin de révision.
•Eloignez les bloc-piles non utilisés de tout objet
métallique (trombones, pièces de monnaie, clés,
clous, vis, etc.) qui risqueraient de ponter une de
ses bornes à l’autre. Un court-circuit entre les bornes
du bloc-piles pourrait provoquer des brûlures ou un
incendie électrique.
•Des conditions abusives risquent d’entraîner des
projections d’électrolyte qu’il vaudrait mieux éviter.
En cas de contact accidentel, rincez à l’eau couran-
te. En cas de contact oculaire, consultez un
médecin. Ce liquide risque de provoquer des irritations
ou des brûlures.
Révisions
•Confiez l’appareil à un réparateur qualifié se ser-
vant exclusivement de pièces de rechange d’ori-
gine. Cela vous assurera de la sécurité opérationnelle
de l’appareil.
