Mains connection
Connect only to single-phase alternating current and only to the mains voltage specified on the
rating plate. The machine may also be connected to sockets without an earth contact since it
complies with protection class II.

Function of the Unit
3.1
EMERGENCY STOP button
If there is any danger to personnel or the machine during the pressing process, press the
EMERGENCY STOP button immediately and release the ON switch. The valve will open and
the piston will return to its initial position.
3.2
To switch on
Press one of the two ON buttons until the pressing process has been completed.
3.3
To insert the press jaw
Disconnect the mains plug!
Open the bolt.
Insert the appropriate press jaw for the job in hand.
Lock the bolt.
After changing the crimping jaw it is essential to ensure that once engaged, the crimping jaw
matches the profile being moulded and the nominal width of the fitting being moulded. A visual
inspection must be carried out in order to determine that the crimping jaw is fully closed at the
end of the moulding cycle.
3.4
To turn the press jaw
The press jaw can be turned through 270° depending on the application.
3.5
Operation
Use only system-compatible press fittings and press jaws designed for them. The nominal size
of the press jaw must be identical with the nominal size of the press fitting.
When inserting the pipe / press fitting system, there is a risk of crush injuries for the
fingers or other body parts near the press jaw!
Push the press fitting on to the pipe. Pull the press jaw apart and insert the pipe with the
press fitting at right angles.
There must be no foreign bodies between the press contour and the fitting. If you fail to
ensure this, the pressing process will not produce a perfect joint!
Press one of the two ON buttons until the press cycle has finished, then release the ON but-
ton.
Push the press jaw apart and take the machine off the joint.
Do not start the machine while the piston retracts or the emergency shutdown is pressed!

Care and Maintenance
Disconnect the plug from the socket before carrying out any work on the machine!
Check that the press jaws are fully functional. Damaged press jaws must not be used and must
be sent to an authorized ROTHENBERGER repair shop.
Check that the press jaw and drive rolls move freely.
Check the bolt for signs of damage at regular intervals. Have damaged bolts replaced by an au-
thorized ROTHENBERGER repair shop.
Clean and grease the drive rolls, the bolt and press jaws when you have finished work.
Use only high quality pressing or ball bearing grease.
The pressing contour must be kept free of grease.
All other servicing, maintenance and repair work must be carried out by an authorized
ROTHENBERGER repair shop.
