Ega Master PRESSMATIC MINI Manual De Instrucciones página 14

Before use, always perform a trial pressing with the drive unit and the pressing tong inserted, with fitting
in place. The pressing tongs must close completely. Complete closing of the pressing jaws both at their tips
and at the level of the connecting link must be observed after completion of pressing. The tightness of the
connection must be checked (country-specific regulations, standards, guidelines etc. must be followed).
Before use, always check the pressing tongs, in particular the pressing contour of both pressing jaws,
for damage or wear. Do not use damaged or worn pressing tongs again. Otherwise there is a risk of
correct pressing or accidents.
If during closing of the pressing tongs a marked ridge is created on the compression sleeve, the
pressing may be detective or not tight.
a) Working procedure
1. Press the pressing tongs together manually until they can be pushed over the press fitting. Always
position the drive unit with the pressing tongs on the press fitting at right angles to the pipe axis.
2. Release the pressing tongs so that they close around the press fitting. Hold the drive unit by the housing
grip and the pistol grip.
3. Hold down the inching switch until the pressing tongs are completely closed. After completion of
pressing, the drive unit switches automatically to return (forced return).
Press the pressing tongs together manually so that they can be removed from the press fitting (fig. 1).

b) Operating safety
These tools end the pressing operation automatically, emitting an acoustic signal, and return
automatically.
Important: Only complete closing of the pressing tongs provides a perfect press joint. Complete
closing of the pressing jaws both al their tips and al the level of the connecting link must be
observed after completion of pressing. If during closing of the pressing tongs a marked ridge is
created on the compression sleeve, the pressing may be defective or not tight.
Irrespective of the above maintenance work, all the machines must be returned together with all tools at
