Maintenance Instructions

WARNING
Press attachments should be removed from press
tool before performing any maintenance.
Always wear safety glasses. Protect your eyes from
dirt and other foreign objects.
A jaw, press ring or ring actuator component that
has been welded, ground, drilled or modified in any
manner can shatter during pressing, resulting in
sharp flying objects, severe injury or death. Discard
and replace damaged jaws, press rings or ring actu-
ators.
1. Before use, inspect the press profile. If damaged,
discard the attachment. If rusty, dirty or if there is
evidence of fitting material build up or other contam-
inants, manually clean the press profile. Contaminants
in the press area (especially near the tips of scissor
style jaws or press rings - see Figure 16 ) make it more
likely that burrs will form on the fitting during pressing.
Burrs can damage the attachment press profile.

wool, or a steel bristle wire brush to clean the press pro-
file.
Do not clean the press profile with aggressive

materials or methods, such as emery cloth, sandpaper or
grinding wheels. This may alter critical press profile
dimensions and cause improper press connections.
2. Lubricate pivot pins and points of relative motion on
the attachment at least once a month with a light
weight general purpose lubricating oil. Clean off any
excess oil.
3. Check return springs in attachments with each use.
Attach ments should open and close freely with only
moderate effort. If springs are missing or unit binds, do
not use until the attachment has been fixed.
