5.7 Crimping / pressing
WARNING
Danger! Risk of causing gas leakage when carrying out crimping / pressing work on parts of a gas
supply network!
▶ Never carry out crimping / pressing work on parts of a gas supply network unless express approval
has been given by the system supplier for use of this tool in conjunction with specially tested and
approved fittings.
▶ Press and hold the control switch until the crimping jaws are completely closed.
Note
In order to achieve a tight, durable crimped / pressed joint, it is essential that the crimping / pressing
jaws reach the fully closed position, thus indicating completion of the crimping / pressing operation.
Note
If the crimping / pressing operation is ended prematurely, the fitting must be removed or, if
possible, recrimped / repressed.
