6) Service
a. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical re-
placement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
2.2 Marked parts of these operating instructions
Read and always observe the safety instructions in these operating instructions. The safety
instructions are marked like this:
Failing to observe an instruction marked with this sign may lead to serious injury or
death.
Failing to observe an instruction marked with this sign may damage the machine or
cause damage to property.
Marks any additional information or special instructions.
Lists
When the instructions are simply listed they are marked by a • before the line: e.g.:
• 1st line
• 2nd line
Step-by-step instructions (where you have to do some-thing) are marked by a flash
X before the line:
X 1st step
X 2nd step
The sequence of the step numbers is binding.

(Guideline values, subject to modification)
The specified vibration levels have been measured in accordance with EN 60745-1 and
may be used for comparison with other tools. During the usage of the pressing tool the
vibration level value can be different from the specified value. The vibration level value
depends on the manner in which the pressing tool is used.

4. Device description and basic mode of operation
4.1 Basic mode of operation
The Pressing Tool operates electro-hydraulically. The hydraulic
pump is driven by means of an electric motor. The hydraulic fluid
pressure acts on the drive piston at one side, and the press rolls
(5) are attached to the piston rod of this piston. The press rolls
produce the pressing action as the result of the force being di-
verted via the cams of the press jaw (7).
4.2 Electronic monitoring and LED indicators
The Pressing Tool is monitored electronically in order to protect against tampering and in order
to ensure perfect pressing results. The status of any malfunctions are indicated by light-emitting
diodes (LEDs) (2).
The following are monitored:
• Retaining pin
• Pressing time
• Voltage/rechargeable battery capacity
• Servicing interval
• Operating temperature
Status indications after switching on the Pressing Tool:
X Connect the RP 340-C with mains adapter to the mains
X Slide the rechargeable battery into the RP 340-B
X Press the „ON-OFF" switch (1)
The LED (2) indicator lights while the „ON-OFF" switch is pressed in order to check the function of
the three LEDs.
„ON-OFF" switch
The machine can be switched on and off at any time with the „ON-OFF" switch (except during a
crimp cycle). If the machine is not used while it is in ON state, the electronic circuitry switches the
machine to OFF state after 10 minutes.
