Maintenance
Maintenance of jaws
Regularly check that the jaws are in good condition. Check that the jaws close well at their
ends.
Clean the jaws using a dry rag or a metal brush.
Keep the press fitting profile clean.
Lubricate the spindles of press fitting jaws.
Diagnostics and problem-solving
The jaws do not slide correctly into the press
Check that the pad-rollers are as far back as they will go. If they are not, press on the return
trigger until the rollers have entered fully into the body of the press fitting machine.
