WARNING
Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to follow
the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock,
fire and/or serious injury.
SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS
FOR FUTURE REFERENCE!
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your
mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated
(cordless) power tool.
Work Area Safety
• Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or
dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo-
spheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep children and by-standers away while oper-
ating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose
control.
Electrical Safety
• Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce
risk of electric shock.
• Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded sur-
faces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electrical shock
if your body is earthed or grounded.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet condi-
tions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk
of electrical shock.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase
the risk of electric shock.
• When operating a power tool outdoors, use an
extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a
cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
• If operating a power tool in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit interrupter
(GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the
risk of electric shock.

Personal Safety
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not
use a power tool while you are tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A mo-
ment of inattention while operating power tools may
result in serious personal injury.
• Use personal protective equipment. Always wear
eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch
is in the off-position before connecting to power
source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying
the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the
switch or energizing power tools that have the switch
on invites accidents.
• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turn-
ing the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached
to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and bal-
ance at all times. This enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long
hair can be caught in moving parts.
• If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use of dust collection
can reduce dust-related hazards.
Power Tool Use and Care
• Do not force power tool. Use the correct power tool
for your application. The correct power tool will do the
job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
• Do not use power tool if the switch does not turn it
ON and OFF. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be
repaired.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or
the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or
storing power tools. Such preventive safety mea-
sures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
RP 330 Pressing Tool
• Store idle power tools out of the reach of children
and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power
tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
• Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly main-
tained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.
• Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.
in accordance with these instructions, taking into
account the working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for operations dif-
ferent from those intended could result in a hazardous
situation.
Battery Tool Use and Care
• Recharge only with the charger specified by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type
of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with
another battery pack.
• Use power tools only with specifically designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and fire.
• When battery pack is not in use, keep it away
from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins,
keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects
that can make a connection from one terminal to
another. Shorting the battery terminals together may
cause burns or a fire.
• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts
eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected
from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
Service
• Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is
maintained.
result in extensive property damage, severe personal injury, or death.
• Charge batteries only in the appropriate battery
charger as specified in the charger manual. Other
types of batteries or non-rechargeable batteries may
burst resulting in personal injury and damage.
• Do not probe battery with conductive objects.
Shorting of battery terminals may cause sparks, burns
or electrical shock.
• Do not insert battery with cracked case into tool or
charger. Do not operate battery if it has been dropped or damaged in any way. Damaged battery
increases the risk of electrical shock.
• Do not burn batteries for any reason. Batteries
explode in fire.
• Charge batteries in temperatures above +41°F
(+5°C) and below +113°F (45°C). Store tool and
battery pack in locations where temperatures will
not exceed +104°F (40°C). Proper care will prevent
serious damage to batteries. Improper care of batteries
may result in battery leakage, electrical shock or burns.
• Do not allow anything to cover the charger while in
use. May result in fire.
• Unplug the charger when not in use. Reduces risk
of injury to children and untrained persons.
• Do not charge battery in damp or wet environ-
ment. Do not expose to rain or snow. Increases the
risk of electrical shock.
• Do not open the charger. Have repairs done only by
authorized experts.
Description, Specifications and
Standard Equipment
Description
The RP 330 Pressing Tool, when used with appropriate
jaw sets, is designed to mechanically press fittings onto
tubing to create a water-tight and permanent seal. When
the switch on the RP 330 is depressed, an internal electric motor powers a hydraulic pump which forces fluid
into the cylinder of the tool, forcing the ram forward and
applying thousands of pounds of pressing force onto
specially designed fittings. Attachments are also available
for other uses.
The entire cycle duration is approximately five (5) seconds.
Once the cycle begins to deform a fitting, it will automatically continue until completion, even if the trigger switch
is released. The LED displays on the back of the tool indi-

Inspecting The Pressed Connection
1. Inspect the pressed fitting. If the fitting is supplied with
a control ring and/or a control label by the fitting
manufacturer, remove it. Control rings and label are
supplied by the manufacturer to indicate that the fitting
has not yet been pressed. Removal of the control ring
and label indicates to others that the connection has
been pressed.
Look for the following:
• Excessive misalignment of the tubes. Note that a
slight amount of misalignment at the pressed connection is considered normal.
• Tubes that are not fully inserted into the fitting –
double check the insertion marks made on the
tube to see that they are still aligned with the end of
the fitting.
• Incorrect jaw or ring alignment with the fitting con-
tour, distorted or deformed fitting.
• Any other issues per the fitting manufacturer.
If any of these problems are found, then removal of
the fitting is required and a new fitting and tube will
need to be prepared and pressed in its place.
