NOTICE
for several types of press tool attachments. Always
follow the specific instructions for the press tool
attachment being used and the fitting manufacturers'
specific installation instructions to reduce the risk of

damage.
1. Prepare the press connection according to the fitting
manufacturer's instructions.

Adapter into tool. If using the corded power adapter
with a GFCI, the GFCI (RCD) should have a rated
residual current of 30 mA or less.
Pressing A Fitting With Typical Scissor

installed and the attachment mounting pin is fully
closed and locked. (See Tool And Work Area Set Up
Section.)
2. Insert fully charged battery or AC Adapter into the
base of the handle.
3. Squeeze jaw arms to open the jaws (Figure 6).
4. Place open jaws around the fitting (Figure 7). Make
sure the contour of the jaws is properly aligned
with the contour of the fitting as specified in Fitting
Systems operator's manual. Do not attempt to hang
the jaws and tool from fitting. Tool could unexpectedly
drop and cause serious injury or death.
5. Make sure the tubing is inserted to the proper
depth in fitting, as specified in the appropriate fitting
system's instructions.
