WARNING
The vibration emission level given in this information sheet has been measured in accordance with a standardised test given
in EN 60745 and may be used to compare one tool with another. It may be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure.
The declared vibration emission level represents the main applications of the tool. However if the tool is used for different
applications, with different accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration emission may differ. This may significantly increase
the exposure level over the total working period.
An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration should also take into account the times when the tool is switched off or
when it is running but not actually doing the job. This may significantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period.
Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of vibration such as: maintain the tool and the
accessories, keep the hands warm, organisation of work patterns.
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all
instructions, including those given in the accompanying
brochure. 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.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Do not change the properties or shape of the tool. It is
particulary important not to change the shape or size of the
cone by machining it or by altering its original properties,
hardness, strenght, etc. by heating the tool or keeping it in
the vicinity of high temperature heat sources
Use the tool correctly. Take particular care to tighten the
expander head onto the tool in order to achieve full
expansion. Make sure the segments of the expander head
are not bend or damaged otherwise.
Never use, carry or put away the tool without a expander
head on it.
Keep fingers and hands away from the expander head
moving area.
Do not dispose of used battery packs in the household
refuse or by burning them. Milwaukee Distributors offer to
retrieve old batteries to protect our environment.
Do not store the battery pack together with metal objects
(short circuit risk).
No metal parts must be allowed to enter the battery section
of the charger (short circuit risk).
Use only C 12 chargers for charging C 12 battery packs. Do
not use battery packs from other systems.
Never break open battery packs and chargers and store
only in dry rooms. Keep dry at all times.
Battery acid may leak from damaged batteries under
extreme load or extreme temperatures. In case of contact
with battery acid wash it off immediately with soap and
water. In case of eye contact rinse thoroughly for at least 10
minutes and immediately seek medical attention.

BATTERIES
New battery packs reach full loading capacity after 4 - 5
chargings and dischargings. Battery packs which have not
been used for some time should be recharged before use.
Temperatures in excess of 50°C (122°F) reduce the
performance of the battery pack. Avoid extended exposure
to heat or sunshine (risk of overheating).
The contacts of chargers and battery packs must be kept
clean.
For an optimum life-time, after use, the battery packs have
to be fully charged.
ADVICE FOR OPERATION
Quick and Easy (Q&E) is a fitting concept for Uponor-PEX
pipes and systems. The joint is made gradually expanding
the pipe with a Q&E Ring fitted to its outside, and then
allowing it to shrink over the fitting nipple. Only genuine
Q&E fittings, rings and expander tools may be used.
After expanding push immediately the expanded pipe and
ring over the nipple. If the pipe already be shrunk back, do
not expand again, but cut the expanded part.
The expansion is done in several stages. This is clearly
audible the "click" upon contraction of the expander head.
The number of expansions is depend by the pipe diameter.
Typically:
16 x 1.8 mm - 4 expandings
20 x 1.9 mm - 6 expandings
25 x 2.3 mm - 8 expandings
16 x 2.2 mm - 6 expandings
20 x 2.8 mm - 12 expandings
25 x 3.5 mm - 20 expandings
Do not expand more times than necessary.
Each time the segments contract the expander head has to
rotate 1/8 turn.
This rotation prevents a too deep incision of the expander
into the inner side of the pipe.
If the expander not rotating the piping may cause deep
grooves and faulty connections, which could result in
leaking and property damage.
Milwaukee expander heads will rotate automatically at each
expansion. This is checked from time to time without pipe.
Uponor Standard expander heads will not rotate
automatically. It is necessary to rotate the pipe 1/8 turn by
hand.
COLD WEATHER INSTALLATION
At low temperatures needed more time to shrink the pipe to
the nipple and seal.
Depending on pipe size, fewer expansions are necessary in
cold temperatures.
The tool with battery must be warmed up before operating in
temperatures below 5°C by doing some cycles without pipe.
TIGHTNESS TESTING
The fitting joint can be pressurized after 30 minutes at
temperatures down to +5°C.
At lower temperature increases the waiting time as follows:
+ 5°C... 0°C: 1,5 h
0°C...- 5°C: 3 h
- 5°C...-10°C: 4 h
-10°C...-15°C: 10 h
At room temperature, the joint will be as strong as the pipe
itself after, within 6 and 24 hours.
Tightness testing in accordance with the relevant standards
(ANV 12108) shall be carried out before the system is taken
into operation.
MAINTENANCE
The ventilation slots of the machine must be kept clear at all
times.
Use the supplied grease tube to lubricant the Q&E expander
heads.
Daily or at least every 100 connections, clean the cone of
the tool and lubricate the cone. Use a clean, lint-free cloth to
apply a thin coat of lubricant (Molycote G-n plus) to the
expander cone. Keep all other parts of the tool free from
lubricant.
When using Uponor Standard expander heads extra grease
needs to be applied in interface between the tool and the
expander head.
Regularly clean the inside of the expander heads using a
dry cloth. Avoid any build-up grease in between the
segments. It is essential to keep the outside of the
segments free from grease and dry.
Improper lubrication (too much, or too little) may result in
faulty connections, which could result in property damage.
Use only Uponor approved expander heads.
Use only Milwaukee accessories and Milwaukee spare
parts. Should components need to be replaced which have
not been described, please contact one of our Milwaukee
service agents (see our list of guarantee/service addresses).
If needed, an exploded view of the tool can be ordered.
Please state the Article No. as well as the machine type
printed on the label and order the drawing at your local
service agents or directly at: Milwaukee Electric Tool,
Max-Eyth-Straße 10, D-71364 Winnenden, Germany.
SYMBOLS
