RAUTOOL M1

iMpORTAnT nOTes

Always apply clamping tool or
joint at right angles, making sure
it completely contacts entire
surface.
Make sure fitting is correctly
seated in tool. Applying the tool
to the wrong fitting collar will
over-compress the joint!
The tool is equipped with the
REHAU RO expander system. In
order to avoid damage to the
pipe, do not use REHAU RE
(until 1996) expander system
parts with RO expander system
components.
Caution:
Never allow fitting components
with a large external diameter to
rest on the jaw teeth, as this will
significantly reduce the compres-
sion contact surface.
Always insert expanding tool into
pipe as far as it will go.
Do not tilt the expander.
26
Never use damaged expander
head as this will damage the
pipe. Replacements are available
from your dealer or from the
REHAU sales office.
If using an expander bit, make
sure that the expander bit is in
the correct position (completely
inserted into the jaw) before star-
ting the tool.
Check for fit (clamping) before
use to avoid falling out.
Regularly grease the expanding
tool tapers (tube of lubricant is
supplied with the tool).
Do not grease the tapers too
much to ensure that excess
grease cannot enter the pipe.
Caution:
Do not apply any grease to the
surface of the expanding seg-
ments that come in contact with
the pipe.
!
Fitting components with a large
external diameter must be laid
and compressed on the „free
side".
