Ensure that the battery is fully
charged and attach it to the tool.

to be crimped. The jaws must be
examined in terms of possible
damage or dirt in the compression
area.
Step 3
To change the jaw push the pin in
and turn pin to unlock.
Step 4
Insert the jaws and line up the holes
in the tool with the hole in the jaw.
Step 5
Push the pin through the hole in the
jaw and turn pin to lock.
Step 6
Cut the pipe to the required length
with the recommended multi-layer
pipe cutters.
Step 7
Insert the approved calibrating/
deburring tool into the pipe, and
then alternately turn in a clockwise

direction. Ensure that a consistent,
smooth chamfer is formed on the
end of the pipe.
Step 8
Insert the pipe into the fitting and
under the stainless steel ring and
push the pipe until it is visible in
the slots of the plastic sight ring
(witness hole). This ensures you
have pushed the pipe home.
