It may be necessary to establish safety measures to protect operating personnel, depending on the actual conditions of use (intermittent operation.

Brief description of the press device

Automatic press cycle

The press device features positive control. During pressing, the press device remains in the position reached, even if start button (1) is temporarily released. When the intended switch-off force is achieved, it is perceptible by means of an increase in the motor speed and a discernible decrease in pressure. After releasing start button (1), the device returns to its initial position. For safety reasons, the positive control is only activated after a minimum force has been attained. Until this force is achieved, the pressing process can be interrupted at any time by releasing the button. The device then automatically returns to its initial position.

Release button

In the event of an emergency, release start button (1) immediately. During pressing, the press device remains in its current position. By pressing and holding release button (2), the piston in the press device returns to its initial position.

Rotatable head

The press tool is equipped with a rotatable crimping head. The head is rotatable by 270°. Within the range of these 270° the crimping head can be moved into any position. It is only possible to adjust the crimping head before the pressing operation. The crimping head cannot be rotated while the pressing operation is being performed.

Commissioning and operation

Preparing the EFP203

CAUTION: Fingers risk being crushed if the device is operated without a press jaw/adaptor jaw (Fig. 2)

If no press jaw/adaptor jaw is fitted, fingers could be placed in the at-risk zone. Fingers could be crushed when the device is started.

Therefore

• Do not operate the device without the press jaws.
• Keep your fingers away from the at-risk zone.

CAUTION

• Not locking the retaining pin (8) fully can cause damage to the device.
• If the retaining pin (8) is not fully inserted and locked, the cylinder can break during the pressing operation.

Therefore

• Press in retaining pin (8) as far as it will go and turn 180° to the rear.

Information

The press device is not suitable for continuous operation. Following 30 minutes of continuous operation, a short break of at least 15 minutes must be taken to allow the device to cool down.

• Insert and lock the press jaw/adaptor jaw in the press device as shown in Figs.

Performing the pressing operation

CAUTION: Danger of crushing!

There is a risk that fingers and hands will be crushed.

Therefore

• Keep body parts and foreign objects away from the press jaws during the pressing operation.
• Do not hold the jaw levers with your hands during the pressing operation.

CAUTION

Keep fingers away from the at-risk zone if no press jaw/adaptor jaw is fitted. (Fig. 2)
Fingers risk being crushed.

Therefore

• Do not operate the device without the jaws.
• Keep your fingers away from the at-risk zone.

Information: Always comply with the operating instructions for the press tools!

1. Check whether the nominal width of the press fitting matches the nominal width of the press jaw/press collar.
2. Comply with the system manufacturer’s instructions when fitting the press jaw/press collar. If using a press collar: Fit the adaptor jaw to the press collar as described in the press collar manufacturer’s instructions.

Information

• Make sure that the press jaw is fully closed when pressing is complete.
• Ensure there is no gap between the segments of the press collar when the pressing operation is complete.

1. To start the process, press the start button.
2. When pressing is complete
   • If using a press collar: First detach the adaptor jaw from the press collar, then
