This tool is not insulated. When
using this unit on or near energized
electrical lines, use proper personal
protective equipment.
Failure to observe this warning could

Wear eye protection when operating
or servicing this tool.
Failure to wear eye protection could

Inspect tool before use. Replace any worn or
damaged parts. A damaged or improperly assem-
bled tool can break and strike nearby personnel.
Failure to observe this warning could result in severe
injury or death.
• Do not use this tool for continuous use. After
50 cycles, allow the tool to cool for 15 minutes.
• Do not secure this tool in a vise. This tool is
designed for hand-held operation.
• This tool may be used in damp or wet environ-
ments; however, air-drying is recommended before
use if the tool becomes soaked. Damage may
result when the tool is operated prior to thorough
drying when electrical components are soaked.
• Use this tool for the manufacturer’s intended
purpose only.
Failure to observe these precautions may result in

An incomplete press can cause leaks.
• Use proper fitting and copper tubing combina-
tions. Improper combinations can result in an
incomplete press.
• The relief valve will sound and the pressing tool
automatically retracts when a complete press has
been achieved. If you do not hear a “pop” and
the pressing tool does not automatically retract,
the press is not complete.
Failure to observe these warnings could result in
severe injury or property damage.
