Compact 100-B Pressing Tool

Storage

Place the tool and jaws in its carrying case. 100-B should
be stored above 32°F (0°C) and below 122°F (50°C).
The tool temperature sensor will not allow the tool to
turn on if oil temperature is not within this temperature
range. This will be indicated by a red blinking LED on the
display panel.
Store the carrying case in a dry, secured,
WARNING
locked area that is out of reach of children and people
unfamiliar with the Compact 100-B Pressing Tool. The tool
is dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
NOTE! Battery performance is severely reduced
when batteries are stored below 32°F (0°C).
For optimal tool performance and battery life
per charge in cold climates, take care to keep
batteries as warm as possible. When battery
temperatures are kept above 32°F (0°C), the
number of press cycles is dramatically im-
proved, especially on larger diameter fittings.
Other suggestions for improving battery perfor-
mance:
• Use the tool to make pressed connections as
soon as possible after transferring the battery
from a warm storage environment to a freezing
or subfreezing operating environment. Planning
ahead in this manner will significantly improve
the number of connections achieved before
battery requires recharging.
• Be sure to fully discharge the battery before
recharging.
• Follow proper recharging procedures as spelled
out on pages 6-7 of this manual.
