4. Screw the head onto tool (clockwise). Hand tighten
securely. Do not over tighten. The expander head
must fi t tightly against the tool.
5. Check installation:
Flowering
a. Ensure the head segments
segments
do not "fl ower".
b. Rotate the six expander
segments in the clockwise
direction. The head will rotate
freely. The head should not
rotate counterclockwise.
c. The expander head collar will
fi t fl ush against the tool.
d. Correct installation by loos-
ening the head slightly and
rotating the segments until
they engage in the cogs. Re-tighten the head.
OPERATION
Always remove battery pack before
WARNING

mended for this tool. Others may be hazardous.
To reduce the risk of injury, wear safety goggles
or glasses with side shields.
Use only MILWAUKEE M18™ Pro-
CAUTION
PEX ® expander heads. The use of
incorrectly sized expansion heads may result in
faulty connections, which could result in prop-
erty damage.
Making PEX Tubing Connections
To ensure a proper connection:
• Remove the expander head and remove any dirt
and debris.
• Use a clean, lint-free cloth to apply a thin coat of
ProPEX ® Expander Cone Grease to the expander
cone. Do not over or under-lubricate. Wipe excess
grease from inside collar and cone before expand-
ing tubing.
Improper lubrication (too much or
CAUTION
too little) may result in faulty con-
nections, which could result in property damage.
• Do not expand tubing beyond the tool's capacity
(3" / DN75).
1. Cut the PEX tubing to the needed length. Use only
cutters designed for plastic tubing. Make sure the
cut is perpendicular to the length of the tubing.
®
2. Slide the ProPEX Ring over
the end of the tubing until it
butts aginst the ring stop.
3. With expander head NOT
tubing
inserted in the tubing, pull and ring
hold the trigger to initiate the
rotation of the expander head.
Do not force the tubing onto the
CAUTION
expander head.
4. When the green indicator light
turns on and/or the white work
light flashes, insert the ex-
pander head into the PEX
tubing and release the trigger.
5. The expander head will con-
tinue to expand. When the expander reaches
maximum diameter it will automatically retract.
NOTE: To cancel quickly, pull and release trigger.
6. Tool will be fully retracted when green indicator
light blinks 3 times. The next expansion can be
started.
7. Continue expanding until the tubing reaches the
shoulder of the expander head. Then expand 1 to
2 more times, depending on the room temperature
(the warmer the temperature, the more expansions
are necessary).
Ensure the expander head rotates
CAUTION
at the beginning of each stroke to
ensure creation of even, smooth expansion
marks. If the head is not rotating, the expander
head may cause deep grooves in the tubing and
faulty connections, which could result in a leak.

8. Remove tubing when the segments are contracted.
9. Slide the tubing over the fi tting until it is fl ush with
the fi tting shoulder. If unable to slide tubing over
the fi tting, remove from fi tting and expand one
additional time. Important! You should feel some
resistance as the fi tting goes into the tubing If you
do not feel any resistance, the tubing may be over
expanded and will require additional time to shrink
over the fi tting .
10.Tubing should fi t tightly against the fi tting shoul-
der. If more than 1/16" gap between tubing and
shoulder, cut 3"-5" (3" for 2" PEX and 5" for 2.5"
and 3" PEX) off the end of the tubing and restart
the procedure with a new ProPEX

Cold-weather Use
Colder weather (<40°F/4°C) requires a longer con-
traction time and fewer expansions.
Troubleshooting ProPEX ® Connections
If fi ttings will not seal, check for the following:
1/16"
• Is the expander head screwed on tightly? Tighten
the head securely. Ensure the head is tight against
the tool.
• Are the expander head segments bent or mis-
aligned? Replace expander head.
• Are the expander head segments failing to contract
between expansions? Clean the head and lubricate
the cone. Ensure cogs are engaged.

•Is the expander cone over or under lubricated?
Clean and lubricate.
• Is the fi tting damaged? Replace fi tting.
• Is the expander cone bent or damaged? Return to
a MILWAUKEE service facility for repair.
• Was the expander head held in the expanded posi-
tion before tubing was removed? Cut 3"-5" (3" for 2"
PEX and 5" for 2.5" and 3" PEX) off the end of the
tubing and restart the procedure with a new ProPEX
Ring.
• Was the tubing rotated slightly after each expan-
sion? Cut 3"-5" (3" for 2" PEX and 5" for 2.5" and
3" PEX) off the end of the tubing and restart the
procedure with a new ProPEX
• Are the tubing and ProPEX
Wipe dry.
• Is grease getting into the tubing from the expander
head? Wipe grease from tubing. Clean the expander
head, ensuring excessive amounts of grease are not
present on the head.
If ProPEX ® Ring slides during expansion:
• Are the tubing and ProPEX
Wipe clean.
• Are your hands clean and dry? Wipe dry — oils from
your hands can lubricate the tubing and ProPEX
Ring.
• Are you holding the ring in place? Place your thumb
against the ring and hold in place during fi rst couple
of expansions.
If expander head does not expand when trigger is
® Ring.
pulled:
• Verify that the expander head is fully retracted.
• Set tool on a work surface with the cone pointing up.
Pull the trigger and hold until the green light indicates
that the press cycle has started. Release the trigger
and then press and hold the manual retract button
until the motor stops (up to 1 minute). Repeat if
expander head still does not expand when trigger
is pulled.
If the head does not fully retract at the end of an
expansion:
• Press the manual release button to fully retract the
expander cone
• Remove the expander head from the tool and rein-
stall, verifying proper installation.
