Maintenance Instructions

WARNING
Press attachments should be removed from press
tool before performing any maintenance.
Always wear safety glasses. Protect your eyes from
dirt and other foreign objects.
A jaw, press ring or ring actuator component that
has been welded, ground, drilled or modified in any
manner can shatter during pressing, resulting in
sharp flying objects, severe injury or death. Discard
and replace damaged jaws, press rings or ring actu-
ators.
1. Before use, inspect the press profile. If damaged,
discard the attachment. If rusty, dirty or if there is
evidence of fitting material build up or other contam-
inants, manually clean the press profile. Contaminants
in the press area (especially near the tips of scissor
style jaws or press rings - see Figure 16) make it
more likely that burrs will form on the fitting during
pressing. Burrs can damage the attachment press
profile.
