5. Remarks in respect of the determined use
Before starting the pressing process the charging levels of the
battery cartridge (Pos.-#. 7) should be tested. A low charging level
can for example be detected by a continued signal of the light
diode display (Pos.-#. 6) for 20 sec. at the end of a test pressing
cycle. (see chapter 4.3)
Alternatively the unit can be operated with the mains adapter
NG1/230. The mains adapter must be inserted into the main tool
until the adapter engages securely. After the preparations are
complete and prior to starting the pressing cycle connect the plug
of the mains adapter to the power supply. For further informations
please read the Instruction Manual of the mains adapter.

5.1. Operation of the units

Prior to operation the pressing chains must be examined in terms
of possible damage, dirt in the compression area and ware. When
using competitor products the user has to make sure that the
pressing chain comply with this tool.
Afterwards the pressing chain must be wrapped arround the
fitting/tube arrangement and closed with the locking pin. Then the
closing jaws must be inserted into the slots of the pressing chain so
that the pins sit in the pockets of the closing jaws. (see pictures 2-
4)
Attention
Should the pins not sit properly in the pockets of the
closing jaw during the crimping cycle the jaw gets
damaged. Insert the jaw into the pressing chain right
to the line with the arrow (see picture 2).
A pressing procedure will be initiated by actuating the trigger
(Pos.-#. 1, Picture 2 Pos. A). The pressing process is defined by the
closing motion of the pressing jaws. The drive rolls (Pos.-#3) on
top of the ram close the pressing jaws scissors like.
Attention
Do not turn the jaw holder to the stop so that it jams.
Attention
A necessary condition for a permanently leaking free
connection is that the pressing cycle has to be
completed.
Attention
The assembly of gas pipes in gas distribution lines is
prohibited unless specifically permitted by the system
supplier.
Attention
The pressing procedure can be interrupted at any
moment by releasing the trigger.
Attention
The user has to check by optical means whether the
pressing chain is completely closed.
Attention
If a pressing cycle has been interrupted the fitting has to
be either dismantled or pressed a second time.
The user needs to make sure that the pressing chain is completely
closed and that there are no foreign objects (e.g. plaster or stone
fractions) between the pressing chain and the fitting.
In case of error or emergency push retract button (Pos. 2, Picture 2
Pos. B) to return the drive rolls (Pos.-# 3) into starting position.
The drive rolls retract automatically and return into the starting
position after the maximum operating pressure has been reached
enabling the user open the closing jaw.
Attention
Before changing the pressing dies remove
battery or mains adapter NG1/230 to avoid
unintentional operation.

5.2. Explanation of the application range

The UAP 100 is a hand guided pressing tool to mount fittings on steel type
plumbing tubes with NW 65 to NW 100. The unit is not supposed to be
restrained in a vise. It is not allowed to use the tool in a stationary
application.
The tool is not designed for continued pressing operations. After a
sequence of approximately 25 completed cycles you have to make a break
of 15 minutes to give the unit time to cool down.
Attention
Too intensive use can cause heat damages for the tool
Attention
During the operation of electric motors sparks can occur which
might ignite highly inflammable or explosive liquids and
materials
Attention
Electric-hydraulic pressing tools must not be operated in
pouring rain or under water.

5.3. Mounting instructions

Please reference the assembly manual of the systems supplier before
mounting the fittings on the tubes. In order to safeguard a proper pressing
and to guaranty a safe and reliable handling the machine must only be
operated with pressing chains recommended by the provider of the tube
system and/or the tool manufacturer. If the markings on the tool and
pressing chain do not match respectively if there are no assembly
instructions the user has to contact the provider of the system to request a
compatibility statement.
Attention
Do not press with bent or damaged closing jaws.
5.4. Service and maintenance instruction
The reliable performance of the tool is dependent on careful treatment and
service. This represents an important condition to safeguard a lasting
connection. To safeguard this the tool have to be maintained and serviced
regularly (see chapter 4.3 for more information).
We would like to draw your attention to the following points:
1. The electric-hydraulic pressing unit have to be cleaned and dried after
each use before being put into the transportation case.
2. In order to guaranty a proper function of the machine the tool should
be returned to the manufacturer after the light diode display (Pos.-#. 6)
indicates service.
3. The battery as well as the charging unit must be protected against
humidity and foreign objects.
4. The bolt joins, the drive rolls and their guides must be oiled regularly
in small amounts.
5. Check through test crimps or have the tool manufacturer check the
tool and pressing chains regularly for proper function.
6. Keep pressing chains clean. Remove dirt with a brush.
In order to avoid possible malfunctions we offer you a manufacturer
service consisting of disassembly, cleaning, exchange of possibly worn out
parts assembly and final control. Only a clean and properly functioning
press system can over the time safeguard a leaking free connection.
Within the determined use of the tool only the pressing chains are
permitted to be changed by the customers.
