They may get caught in moving parts. Wear a hairnet if you have long hair. Use
goggles.
4. Do not touch moving parts (risk of trapping fingers)!
5. Be alert! Only use the tool if you have received instructions in using it.
6. Keep your tools in a safe place. When not in use, tools should be kept in dry,
closed rooms out of the reach of children.
7. The tool is only to be used to create REHAU compresion sleeve joints with
the dimension 40-110 mm. Do not use the tool or the hydraulic unit for other
purposes or dimensions.
8. Only operate the tool with original REHAU parts and accessories.
9. Maintenance and repair work should be done only in a service center authorised
by REHAU. We will not be responsible for any work performed by an unautho-
rised person. The addresses of authorised service centers can be found in the
attachment or they can be obtained from your REHAU sales office.
General tool-specific safety warnings:
1. Keep the tool away from moisture, extreme heat, oil and solvents.
2. Never operate the tool in an environment presenting the risk of fire or explosion!
Do not burn the tool!
3. Make sure the hydraulic hose does not get damaged.
Do not carry your hydraulic unit by the hydraulic hose! Do not use the hydraulic
hose to drag the tool around!
4. Before use, examine the tool and accessories for damage or defects (for
example, cracks in the cable insulation, oil leaks from the tool, bent compres-
sion cylinders, damage or visible wear of the jaw sets, etc.). Check whether the
moving parts are in proper working order, that they are not jammed and that
parts are not damaged. All parts must be correctly assembled and satisfy all of
the conditions to ensure proper tool operation.
5. Never work with a damaged tool or accessory! Immediately send the damaged
tool to the nearest service center.
6. To prevent the motor from overheating, do not operate at maximum pressure for
any prolonged period! The tool is not suited for long-term use.
After about 50 consecutive compressions, it should be made to rest for at least
15 min. to allow it to cool.
7. Avoid touching any leaks you may find in the hydraulic hoses as long as the
system is pressurised.
8. For safety reasons (legal regulation), the hydraulic hose must be replaced by an
authorised REHAU service center within five years at the latest. This time limit
must be adhered to. The construction year of the tool can be found on the guaran-
tee card. Should anything be unclear, consult your dealer or REHAU sales office.
Tool-specific safety warnings for battery operation:
1. Keep the batteries and the charger away from moisture, extreme heat, oil and
solvents. The charger is only intended for use in dry, indoor rooms. It must not
be used outdoors.
2. The battery may only be charged using the charger supplied. Using a different
battery or different charger may cause an explosion.
3. At every tool alteration (replacement of jaw sets) remove the battery from the
tool to prevent unintended actuation.
4. Make sure that the rechargeable battery contacts cannot be shorted by metal
objects, such as screws, instruments, nails, etc. A short circuit between the
battery contacts can cause burns or fire.
5. When charging, only use one-phase alternating current at the voltage indicated
on the power rating label.
6. Do not insert foreign objects into the ventilation grills on the charger!
7. Do not burn the charger or rechargeable batteries! Rechargeable batteries may
explode and flare up.
8. As a result of improper use, liquid can leak from the battery. Avoid contact with
this liquid. In the event of inadvertent contact, rinse off with water. Should the
liquid enter the eyes, obtain medical assistance as well.
9. To prevent the motor from overheating, do not operate at maximum pressure
for any prolonged period. The tool is not suitable for permanent operation. After
approx. 50 consecutive clamping operations, a break of at least 15 min. is
required to allow the tool to cool down.
Tool-specific safety warnings for mains adapter operation:
1. Never leave the tool unattended when connected to the electrical mains!
2. Safeguard the operating switch from inadvertent usage. Unplug the mains plug
when the tool is not in use, before sending the tool in for maintenance and
when changing the compression jaws.
3. Only use one-phase alternating current at the voltage indicated on the power
rating label.
4. Make sure you use suitable extension cables.
5. Make sure the supply cable does not get damaged. Do not carry your hydraulic
unit by the supply cable! Do not use the cable to drag the tool around!
6. To prevent the motor from overheating, do not operate at maximum pressure
for any prolonged period. The tool is not suitable for permanent operation. After
approx. 50 consecutive clamping operations, a break of at least 15 min. is
required to allow the tool to cool down.
Processing at temperatures under -10 °C and over +50 °C may result
in damage to jointing components, to the tool and/or in personal injury .
- Do not work below the minimum processing temperature of -10°C!
- At lower temperatures (below 0 °C) it is recommended that the jointing
components be stored in a warm environment before being processed .
