Inspecting the Press Tool, Jaw
Sets and Press Rings
WARNING
To prevent electrocution and serious injury, inspect
the CT400 Press Tool, jaw sets and press rings.
Never use the CT400, a jaw set, actuator arm or
press ring with damaged or missing parts. The fol-
lowing inspection procedures should be performed
on a daily basis:
1. Make sure the CT400 Press Tool is unplugged.
2. Inspect the motor housing, switch, power cord and plug
for damage. Check for damage such as cracks in the
motor housing, cut or frayed cords and exposed wires.

3. To avoid a crushing injury, make sure both of the fin-
ger guards and the drop guard are securely in place.
4. Inspect the jaw sets, press rings and actuator arm. If
dirty, refer to Fitting Systems operator's manual for
cleaning instructions. Failure to clean jaws or press
rings can result in an improper connection that can
lead to extensive property damage. If any cracks are
found, discard the damaged assemblies and obtain
replacement.
WARNING
replace individual components except for press ring and
jaw/actuator return springs. Failure to replace the entire
assembly may result in component failure and serious
injury.
5. Clean any oil, grease or dirt from the tool handles.
This reduces the risk of the tool slipping from your grip.
