severe injury or death.
Hazards or unsafe practices which, if not avoided,
MAY result in injury or property damage.
Read and understand all of the
instructions and safety information
in this manual before operating or
servicing this tool.
Failure to observe this warning
could result in severe injury or death.
Electric shock hazard:
This tool is not insulated. When
using this unit on or near energized
electrical lines, use proper personal
protective equipment.
Failure to observe this warning
could result in severe injury or death.
Wear eye protection when operating
or servicing this tool.
Failure to wear eye protection could
result in serious eye injury from
ying debris or hydraulic oil.
Skin injection hazard:
Do not use hands to check for oil
leaks. Oil under pressure easily
punctures skin. If injured, seek
medical attention immediately to
remove oil.
Failure to observe this warning
could result in serious injury, gan-
grene, or death.
Do not use solvents or ammable
liquids to clean the tool body.
Solvents or ammable liquids could
ignite and cause serious injury or
property damage.
Pinch points:
• Remove battery before changing
dies, adapters, or jaws.
• Keep hands away from the press-
ing tool head when pressing.
Failure to observe these warnings
could result in severe injury or death.

worn or damaged parts. A damaged or improp-
erly ass em bled tool can break and strike nearby
personnel.
Failure to observe this warning could result in severe
injury or death.
• Do not use this tool for continuous use. After 30 to
40 cycles, allow the tool to cool for 15 minutes.
• Do not secure this tool in a vise. This tool is
designed for hand-held operation.
• This tool may be used in damp or wet environ-
ments; however, air-drying is recommended before

Important Features of the Unit
• The hydraulic unit incorporates an automatic retrac-
tion, which returns the drive rollers to their starting
position when the maximum operating pressure is
reached.
• The unit is equipped with a special brake, which stops
the forward motion of the drive rollers when the trigger
is released.
• The pressing head can be smoothly turned by 350°
around the longitudinal axis in order to gain better
access to tight corners and other difcult working
areas.

Pressure Sensor
This tool is equipped with a pressure sensor that alerts
the user of an incomplete press.
• If the tool is manually retracted before completion of a
press, the red LED and an audible beep will be active
for 2 seconds.
• If the tool is unable to reach the required pressing
force, the red LED, work light, and an audible beep
will pulse until after the trigger is released.
Operating Procedure
1. Select the proper pressing jaw for the intended
application. Examine the jaw for wear, damage, and
dirt buildup. Clean the compression area, if dirty,
with a soft cloth and light cleaning or lubricating oil,
and a brass brush if necessary. Replace the jaw if
worn or damaged.
Before changing the pressing jaws,
remove battery to avoid uninten-
tional operation.
Failure to observe this warning
could result in severe injury or prop-
erty damage.
2. Depress lock pin (see views below) and rotate
counterclockwise to disengage the pin on the
pressing tool.

Operation (cont’d)
3. Install the jaw into the pressing tool and align
mounting hole in jaw with lock pin. Depress the lock
pin to secure the jaw (see views below).
4. Compress the ends of the jaw together to open the
jaws and locate the jaws around the tting to be
pressed (see view below).
5. Reinstall the battery and depress the tool trigger
to press the tting. Continue to depress the trigger
until the relief valve actuates and the drive rollers
automatically retract.
Notes:
If the drive rollers do not automatically retract, the
press is incomplete.
The pressing cycle can be interrupted at any
moment by releasing the trigger.
6. Release the trigger until the drive rollers retract
completely.
7. Compress the jaw ends together to open the jaws
and remove the jaws from the pressed tting.
Notes:
The pressing jaws must close completely to ensure
a leak-free connection. Always check that jaws
close completely during a pressing cycle and no
foreign objects are between the pressing jaws and
mechanism.
The pressing cycle can be interrupted at any
moment by releasing the trigger.
If it is necessary to remove the jaws before a press
cycle is complete, push the retract button. Pushing
the retract button will cause the drive rollers to
retract completely.
If the pressing cycle must be stopped before the
press is complete, and the jaws have to be removed
from the fitting, the fitting should be replaced or
pressed a second time.
