Operation (cont'd)
6. Reinstall the battery and depress the tool trigger
to press the fitting. 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.
It is normal for the battery load display to light at
both the beginning and near the end of the pressing
cycle.
7. Release the trigger until the drive rollers retract
completely.
8. Compress the jaw ends together to open the jaws
and remove the jaws from the pressed fitting.
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 or chain have to
be removed from the fitting, the fitting should be
replaced or pressed a second time.
