5.6 Squeezing (spreaders, combi tools)
The squeezing of pipes and other hollow profiles takes place by closing the spreader arms.
However, with the combi tools, squeezing can only be done in the area of the tips!
ATTENTION!
Material to be squeezed can suddenly spring away.
Do not remain in the working area of the spreading and combi tools!
