RP 306 Press Tools
Figure 7 – Placing Scissor-Style Jaw Set Around Fitting
Figure 8 – RP306 Tool Square To Tubing
6. Make sure the jaws and tool are square to the tubing.
(Figure 8) If the jaw and tool are not square to the tube,
they will try to align as the press is made. This could
cause an improperly pressed fitting or damage the tool.
7. Depress and release the switch one time to turn tool
ON. The LED light on the front of the tool should be
solidly illuminated indicating the tool is ready to press.
NOTE! Tool will automatically turn OFF if left unused for
150 seconds. To turn tool ON, it is necessary to
once again depress the switch.
Depress the tool trigger switch (Figure 1).
Keep fingers and hands away from the jaws to
avoid crushing injuries in jaws and between
jaws and surroundings. The press cycle takes
about seven (7) seconds. Once a press cycle
begins and the rollers contact the jaw arms,
the tool will lock-on and automatically complete
the press cycle. Releasing the trigger will stop
the tool once the pressing process has begun.
Pressing the switch again, tool will continue until
completion. This assures consistent, repeatable
press joint integrity.

NOTICE
The RP306 Press Tool will turn off
automatically if the battery is too low to successfully
complete a pressed connection. This will be indicated by
a continuous ON/OFF flashing of the LED light. A fully
charged battery should be inserted in the tool and the
pressed connection should be repeated as indicated
above.
To retract the rollers and remove the tool from the fitting
if battery dies or tool malfunctions during pressed
connection. If it is necessary to retract the rollers to
remove the tool from the fitting, press the pressure release
button (Figure 1). If this happens, the connection will need
to be pressed again to insure completion.
8. After cycle is complete, squeeze actuator arms to open
and separate actuator from press ring Attachments.
9. Remove the RP306 and jaws from tube and inspect the
pressed connection. Avoid sharp edges that may have
formed on the fitting during the pressing operation.
tool will continue until completion. This assures
consistent, repeatable press joint integrity.
Pressing A Fitting With Typical Actuator
And Press Ring Set
1. Make sure the RP306 Press Tool has the correct
actuator installed and the mounting pin is fully closed
and locked.
2. Insert fully charged battery into the back of the
RP306.
3. Make sure the tubing is inserted to the proper depth
in fitting, as specified in the appropriate fitting system's
operator's manual.
4. Open the appropriate press ring and place at right angle
onto the fitting (Figure 8). Align ring with fitting according
to fitting system's operator's manual. Recheck insertion
depth before completing press process.
5. Squeeze actuator arms to open the actuator assembly.
Engage actuator ends into the actuator pockets in the
press ring (Figure 10). Make sure actuator ends are
fully engaged in pockets. Do not attempt to hang tool
and actuator from press ring. Tool could unexpectedly
drop causing serious injury or death.
6. Depress and release the switch one time to turn tool
ON. The LED light on the front of the tool should solidly
illuminate indicating the tool is ready to press.
NOTE! Tool will automatically turn OFF if left unused for 150
