3. Pressing jaws

3.1. Introduction of press jaws

CAUTION

1. The operation staff must have participated in professional training, and the construction engineering company must have the corresponding construction qualification recognized by the state.
2. The pressing tool, jaw, adapter, or ring jaw is only for the corresponding piping system and fittings. Using other methods or modified standard accessories for other applications may damage tools and accessories and even result in personal injury.

Important Information

1. The jaw is a consumable part. When it is often used for crimping, the material fatigues, and cracks occur. A heavily worn jaw is prone to breakage, especially if it is used improperly (such as oversized fittings, skewed crimps, etc.) or operated illegally.

2. Check the jaw for breakage, cracks, component jams, and any other unfavorable factors that compromise safety and normal operation, either periodically or before each use. If you find any problems, please stop using them immediately and return them to the professional repair manufacturer or the factory for repair until the problem is solved.

3. Once you find the following phenomenon, please stop using it and replace it with a new one!

a. The board is cracked
b. The jaw arm is cracked and deformed
c. The jaw is cracked, scratched, sunken, or severely worn
d. Other anomalies

4) You are forbidden to disassemble the tools yourself. You are also strictly forbidden to weld, polish, drill, or make any other changes to the die accessories!

5) Do not put any part of the human body, such as your fingers, into the jaw during use!

6) This tool is a high-strength, heavy-duty appliance. Please strictly follow the instructions and precautions!

CAUTION: Improper operation can lead to leaks at the joint

1. Please ensure the crimp fitting specifications are identical to the jaw.

2. It should be confirmed that the jaw has been completely closed after the crimping.

3. When crimping, ensure the jaw and the crimping tool are correctly positioned on the fitting flange.

4. If the jaw cannot be closed entirely when crimped, it should be sent to the tool dealer or manufacturer for repair.

5. If the jaw connection is incorrectly squeezed, replace a new one and do not continue to use it.

6. If there is a burr on the pipe joint after crimping, it should be handed over to the tool dealer or manufacturer for inspection.

3.2. Standard Jaws Types

Note: When you purchase this tool, you can choose any type of jaws. Please supply us with the relative fitting standards and sizes. Different materials and designed fittings have different pressing effects.

3.3. Please refer to the illustration for the Economic type below

3.4. Please refer to the illustration for the ring type below

Note: Start pressing when the ring jaws fully connect to the adaptor and cover the gridding. The other operations are the same.

3.5. Jaw cleaning and maintenance

• Clean the residue accumulated in the crimping jaws in time. The residue can be cleaned with a scouring pad or steel wool, but it can’t be cleaned with something harder (such as sandpaper, filet, etc.), which will accelerate the wear on the edge of the cavity.
• After each crimping is completed, remove the impurities and dust on the surface of the jaws, especially the gap at the bottom of the jaws; then rub the lubricant on the surface of the jaw, especially the pin and jaws, and then put it into the dedicated toolbox.

• It is strictly forbidden to collide with any metal. It is strictly prohibited to contact any jaws with any sharp object.

• Check the jaw return spring before each use. The jaw can be easily opened and closed by applying a finger.
• It is recommended that the dealer or manufacturer check the wear of the jaw once a year.
