WARNING!
Risk of injury from ejected fragments
Material fatigue may cause the press tool to break.
Press tools are wearing parts.
Frequent pressing will result in material fatigue. Press tools worn or damaged in any
other way as the result of material fatigue can break even if used correctly; there is then
a risk of injury from ejected fragments. The risk of breakage is further increased in the
event of improper use.
Therefore

CAUTION!
Keep fingers away from the at-risk zone when the adaptor jaw is closed.

Fingers may get crushed.
Therefore
–
Ensure that the nominal size of the press fitting matches the nominal size of the
press tool.
Make sure that there is no dirt, swarf etc. between the press tool and the press
fitting.
Do not hold the press tool askew on the press fitting.
If a press tool is used incorrectly, do not use it any longer and have it inspected by
an authorised workshop.
Check the press tools for cracks and other signs of wear before each use.
Discard all press tools with material cracks or other signs of wear immediately and
do not use them any longer.
Only use press tools that are in perfect technical condition.
Keep all body parts and foreign objects away from the jaw levers on the fixed
adaptor jaw when initiating the pressing operation.
Do not hold the jaw levers of the adaptor jaw with your hands during the pressing
operation. Use the grip (7). (Fig. 1)
Leave the adaptor jaw open. (Fig. 4b)
