soft copper tubing, users should ensure that tubing is
sufficiently round to slide into the fitting without excessive
effort or mechanical force. If a user finds that a section of

soft copper tubing requires more hand-force to
slide into a ProPress
®
fitting than would a section of hard
copper tubing of the same size, the user should re-round
the soft tubing or find an acceptable section.

The entire cycle duration is approximately seven (7) sec-
onds. Once the cycle begins to deform a fitting, it will auto-
matically continue until completion, even if the trigger
switch is released. LED displays on the top of the tool indi-
cate problems such as improper temperature, open jaw
mounting pin or maintenance required.
