1Safety Notes
1.1 Intended use
The ROMAX® AC ECO is designed exclusively for the use of pressing jaws manufactured by
ROTHENBERGER or that have been declared suitable by ROTHENBERGER, for example the
products available from MAPRESS, Viega, Geberit, Uponor, etc.
The device and the press jaws are designed exclusively for crimp fittings, for which the corre-
sponding pressing jaws have been designed. Any other or additional use shall be deemed im-
proper.
ROTHENBERGER cannot accept any liability for the resultant consequences and damage, nor
for the use of pressing jaws from other manufacturers, nor for damage caused by these pressing
jaws.
Proper usage also includes compliance with the operating manual, compliance with the inspec-
tion and servicing conditions and adherence to all the relevant safety regulations.
The ROMAX® AC ECO is a handheld electric machine and must not be used for stationary ap-
plications.
This device may only be used correctly as described.
1.2 General Power Tool Safety Warnings
WARNING!
Read all safety warnings and all instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious in-
jury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or bat-
tery-operated (cordless) power tool.
1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit.Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust.Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or
fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
2) Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use
any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.Unmodified plugs and matching
outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators,
ranges and refrigerators.There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is
earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.Water entering a power tool will in-
crease the risk of electric shock.
d) 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.
e) 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 electric shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current de-
vice (RCD) protected supply.Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
3) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power
tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, al-

ENGLISH 11
cohol or medication.A moment of in attention while operating power tools may result in se-
rious personal injury.
b) 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 appropri-
ate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connect-
ing to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.Carrying
power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on
invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on.A wrench or a
key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.This enables better
control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts.Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected and properly used.Use of these devices can reduce dust re-
lated hazards.
4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application.The cor-
rect power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off.Any power tool that
cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power
tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamil-
iar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage
of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tools operation. If dam-
aged, have the power tool repaired before use.Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance with these instruc-
tions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed.Use
of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous sit-
uation.
5) Service
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical re-
placement parts.This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
1.3 Special safety instructions
The term press jaw also includes main Jaw, press ring and press chain.
Never hold your fingers or other body parts in the working area of the cylinder or the pressing
jaws.
Disconnect the plug from the socket before carrying out any work on the machine.
If the device is so badly damaged that electric cables or drive parts are exposed, disconnect the
mains plug immediately and contact your service outlet. Unauthorised repair work may result in
the user suffering major injuries or even death.
Only personnel trained in how to use the device may make crimp pipe joints using the ROMAX®
AC ECO.

12 ENGLISH
The machine may only be used with a press jaw inserted into it. The press jaw must be in per-
fect technical condition.
Only start the machine if it is in perfect working order.
Servicing and repair work may only be carried out by workshops authorised by ROTHEN-
BERGER.
Use only suitable press jaw and press fitting systems that have been approved by ROTHEN-
BERGER Werkzeuge GmbH.
After you have inserted the press jaw check that the bolt is securely locked.
In the event of problems during the pressing process, press the EMERGENCY STOP button.
Check that the pipe joint is secure after you have completed the pressing process.
Imperfect pipe joints must be compressed again using a new fitting.
Follow the installation instructions supplied by the fitting and pipe manufacturers.
Assure by pressing leaky press fittings, that no humidity respectivily lotic water reaches into the
inside of the machine!
After finishing the work, check the installation with appropriate testing equipment and assure,
that it is leakproof!

The vibration level given in this information sheet has been measured in accordance with a
standardised test given in EN 60745 and may be used to compare one tool with another. It may
be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure.
The declared vibration emission level represents the main applications of the tool.
However if the tool is used for different applications, with different accessories or
insertion tools or is poorly maintained, the vibration emission may differ. This may
significantly increase the exposure level over the total working period.
An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration should also take into account the
times when the tool is switched off or when it is running but not actually doing the
job. This may significantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period.
Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of vibra-
tion such as: maintain the tool and the accessories, keep the hands warm, organisa-
tion of work patterns.

3Function of the Unit
3.1 Mains connection
Connect only to single-phase alternating current and only to the mains voltage specified on the
rating plate. The machine may also be connected to sockets without an earth contact since it
complies with protection class II.
3.2 EMERGENCY STOP button (A)
If there is any danger to personnel or the machine during the pressing process, press the
EMERGENCY STOP button immediately and release the ON switch. The valve will open and
the piston will return to its initial position.
3.3 To switch on (B)
Press one of the two ON buttons until the pressing process has been completed.
3.4 To insert the press jaw (C)
Disconnect the mains plug!
Open the bolt.
Insert the appropriate press jaw for the job in hand.
Lock the bolt.
After changing the crimping jaw it is essential to ensure that once engaged, the crimping jaw
matches the profile being moulded and the nominal width of the fitting being moulded. A visual
inspection must be carried out in order to determine that the crimping jaw is fully closed at the
end of the moulding cycle.
3.5 To turn the press jaw (D)
The press jaw can be turned through 270° depending on the application.
3.6 Operation (E)
Use only system-compatible press fittings and press jaws designed for them. The nominal size
of the press jaw must be identical with the nominal size of the press fitting.
When inserting the pipe / press fitting system, there is a risk of crush injuries
for the fingers or other body parts near the press jaw!
Push the press fitting on to the pipe. Pull the press jaw apart and insert the pipe with the
press fitting at rightangles.
There must be no foreign bodies between the press contour and the fitting. If you fail to
ensure this, the pressing process will not produce a perfect joint!
Press one of the two ON buttons until the press cycle has finished, then release the ON but-
ton.
Push the press jaw apart and take the machine off the joint.
Do not start the machine while the piston retracts or the emergency shutdown is pressed!
