Pressing A Fitting With Typical Actuator
And Press Ring Set
1. Make sure the RP 330 Pressing Tool has the correct
actuator installed.
2. Connect RP 330 to proper power source. For the
RP 330-B, insert fully charged battery into the base of
the handle. For the RP 330-C plug the tool into an
appropriate outlet.
3. Depress ON/OFF button on display panel one time to
turn tool ON. All three light emitting diodes (LED's) will
blink once. Then, the green LED should be solid illu-

NOTE! Tool will automatically turn off if left unused for
ten (10) minutes. To restart tool, it is neces-
sary to once again depress the ON/OFF button
on the top display panel.
4. Make sure the tubing is inserted to the proper depth
in fitting, as specified in the appropriate fitting system's
operator's manual.
5. Open the appropriate press ring and place at right
angle onto the fitting (Figure 9). Align ring with fitting
according to fitting system's operator's manual. Re-
check insertion depth before completing press process.
6. Squeeze actuator arms to open the actuator assem-
bly. 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 unex-
pectedly drop causing serious injury or death.
7. Depress the tool trigger switch. The press cycle takes
about five (5) seconds. Once a press cycle begins and
the rollers contact the actuator arms, the tool will
lock-on and automatically complete the press cycle.
Releasing the trigger will not stop the tool once the
pressing process has begun. This assures consis-
