Batteries and Charger:
This image shows the two 18V 5.0Ah Lithium-Ion batteries and the dedicated charger included with the AMZCNC Pro Press Tool Kit.
4. Setup
4.1 Charging the Battery
- Connect the charger to a standard power outlet.
- Slide the 18V Lithium-Ion battery onto the charger until it clicks into place.
- Allow the battery to charge fully. The charger's indicator light will show the charging status (refer to charger manual for specific light patterns).
- Once charged, remove the battery from the charger.
4.2 Installing Press Dies
- Ensure the tool is switched off and the battery is removed.
- Open the tool's jaw by pressing the release mechanism.
- Select the appropriate die size for your pipe and fitting.
- Insert the chosen dies into the jaw, ensuring they are seated correctly and securely.
- Close the jaw until the dies are held firmly in place.

4.3 Attaching the Battery
- Align the charged battery with the battery port on the tool's handle.
- Slide the battery into place until it clicks, indicating a secure connection.
5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Preparing the Pipe and Fitting
- Cut the pipe to the desired length, ensuring a clean, square cut.
- Deburr the inside and outside edges of the pipe.
- Clean the pipe and fitting surfaces to remove any dirt, grease, or debris.
- Insert the pipe fully into the fitting. Ensure the pipe is seated against the stop inside the fitting.
5.2 Performing a Press Connection
- Open the tool's jaw and position it around the fitting, ensuring the dies are centered over the fitting's crimp ring.
- Close the jaw securely around the fitting.
- Important: Locate the pressure release knob (often a rotary knob or lever) on the tool. Turn this knob to the "engage" or "pressure build" position. This allows the hydraulic pressure to build during the crimping process.
- Press and hold the trigger to initiate the pressing cycle. The tool will apply pressure, crimping the fitting.
- Continue holding the trigger until the tool completes its cycle and the dies fully close around the fitting. The tool may make a high pinging noise as it reaches full pressure; this is normal.
- Once the crimp is complete, release the trigger.
- Important: Turn the pressure release knob to the "release" position to relieve the hydraulic pressure. This will allow the dies to retract and the jaw to open.
- Remove the tool from the crimped fitting.
- Inspect the crimped connection to ensure it is uniform and secure.

6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your AMZCNC Pro Press Tool.
6.1 Cleaning
- After each use, wipe down the tool and dies with a clean, dry cloth to remove any debris or moisture.
- Ensure no foreign objects are lodged in the jaw mechanism or around the dies.
6.2 Lubrication
- Periodically apply a small amount of hydraulic oil or a suitable lubricant to the moving parts of the jaw and the hydraulic piston. Consult the manufacturer for specific lubrication points if not clearly indicated.
- This helps maintain smooth operation and prevents wear.
6.3 Storage
- Store the tool, batteries, and charger in the provided carrying case in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Remove the battery from the tool before storage.
Maintenance Cycle: The tool is designed for a maintenance cycle of approximately 10,000 presses. Regular inspection and lubrication are recommended to extend tool life.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your AMZCNC Pro Press Tool, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Tool does not operate or press. | Battery is not charged or not properly inserted. | Ensure battery is fully charged and securely attached. |
| Incomplete press or weak crimp. | Incorrect die size; pressure release knob not engaged; low battery. | Verify correct die size. Ensure pressure release knob is in the "engage" position. Charge battery. |
| Tool makes a high pinging noise during operation. | Normal operation when reaching full pressure. | This is a normal sound indicating the tool is reaching its maximum crimping force. No action required. |
| Dies do not retract after pressing. | Pressure release knob not turned to "release" position. | Turn the pressure release knob to the "release" position to relieve hydraulic pressure. |
If problems persist after following these steps, please contact customer support.
