The jaws will automatically close and the LED will turn
red to indicate calibration mode.
Insert the thin end of the gap check tool between the
jaws. The tool must fit into the opening.
Insert the thick end of the tool between the jaws. The tool
should not fit into the opening.
Do NOT use the clamping tool if:
The thin end of the gap check tool does not fit.
The thick end of the gap check tool does fit.
If either of these situations exists, the tool must be serviced
before use.
NOTE: This tool has no user-serviceable or replaceable parts.
Pull the switch trigger to return the jaws to the open
position for operation.
Remove the battery pack to return the gap check tool to
its storage area.
SWITCH TRIGGER/LED WORKLIGHTS
See Figure 5, page 9.
Tapping or pulling the switch trigger activates the LED
worklights on each side of the tool jaws to illuminate the
work area.
When the tool is not in use, the time-out feature will
cause the lights to start fading and then shut off. The
LED worklights illuminate only when there is a charged
battery pack in the tool.
NOTE: This tool has no user serviceable or replaceable parts.

CLAMPING PEX TUBING
See Figures 6 - 10, page 9.
Install the battery pack.
Slide a PEX pinch clamp ring onto a section of PEX tubing,
about 2 in. past the cut end of the tubing.
Insert a PEX fitting into the tubing until the shoulder of
the fitting touches the end of the tubing.
Push the PEX pinch clamp ring toward the fitting until it is
1/4 in - 1/8 in. from the end of the tubing.
Position the tool jaws directly over the tab of the pinch
clamp ring at a 90° angle.
NOTE: Make sure the jaws fit completely and squarely
over the tab before pulling the switch trigger.
To begin a clamp cycle, press and hold the switch trigger
for one-half to one second.
The green LED indicator will come on when the clamping
cycle is 50% complete.
It is not necessary to continue holding the switch trigger
during a clamping cycle. The tool will continue to function
as long as the trigger is not pressed a second time before
the cycle is completed.
When the cycle has been successfully completed, the
LED indicator on the base of the tool will be green. The
jaws will return to their full open position.
If the red LED indicator comes on, this indicates an
incomplete cycle. Repeat the instructions for beginning
and completing a clamp cycle. The LED indicator on
the base of the tool will be green when the cycle is
successfully completed.
Remove the tool from the PEX pinch clamp ring.
