SAFETY INFORMATIONREAD THE ENTIRE MANUAL BEFORE OPERATING THE TOOL.

SAFETY GLASSES should always be worn while operating, maintaining, or

repairing a tool, or in the vicinity of a tool in operation.

KEEP HANDS AND FINGERS AWAY from the front of jaws area and

all moving parts when operating or connecting air supply to tool. Never actuate tool when loading. Serious injury may result.

DISCONNECT THE AIR SUPPLY when mechanically clearing a jam, performing maintenance or repairs, and whenever the tool is not in use.

mAINTAIN AIR PRESSURE at 85–120 PSI (6–8 BARS) using 1/4” (6.35mm) ID air hose. Higher pressure may damage tool.

INJURY PREVENTION—Operate tool in an unobstructed work area. Keep others at a safe distance. Never point the tool toward yourself or anyone else.

Never use oxygen, carbon dioxide or any other bottled gas as a power source for this

tool—the tool will explode and cause serious injury.

ASSEMBLIES

C-Ring Tool Models: RAC-1003 (1/2”), and RAC-1001 (3/4”), RAC-1002 (3/4”) and RAC-1004 (3/4”)

TO GET STARTEDInstall a ¼” NPT fitting (not included) into air inlet opening in the bottom of the housing assembly (#27 on page 2), using suitable thread sealant.

AIR FILTER AND REGULATOR

The air line should have an attached air line filter and regulator sufficient to provide a constant and even flow of clean, dry air. The filter should be install-ed as close as possible to the tool. Dirt or moisture in the air line will adversely affect the smooth operation of the tool and decrease its serviceable life.

AIR PRESSURE

Air pressure should be maintained at 85-120 PSI (6-8 bars) using 1/4” (6.35mm) ID air hose. Do not operate the tool at air pressures above 120 PSI (8 bars), as this may cause damage to it.

RECOMMENDED DAILY MAINTENANCEAdd 4-5 drops of air tool oil (10-weight recommended) to air inlet hose fitting (A) on the bottom of the handle (Fig 1).

Although the jaws and other moving parts of the tool do not need to be oiled daily, periodic oiling in small amounts may increase the serviceable life of tools that receive heavy use.

LOADING C-RINGS1. With Pusher at nose of tool, slide C-rings

onto end of magazine, ring points facing away from tool. Push C-rings forward and past the Clip Anti-Backup on the magazine.

2.

Pull the Pusher over the C-rings, to the end of the magazine. Allow C-rings to slide forward.

3. Engage the Pusher with the last C-ring, and push the rings to front of tool. Loading is complete.

OPERATIONBefore using tool, review Safety Information on front page of manual.

In most operations, the tool is positioned at 90 degrees to the material being enclosed (Fig. 2). During assembly, when “grabbing” wires, the tool is often used as a pusher/puller. Operator should always choose the approach that places the least amount of stress on the tool.

Hold the tool firmly and operate it in the direction of the application motion without excessive stretching. The tool should make a complete closure of the ring. If closure is incomplete, check that the application is properly positioned and that the tool is cycling completely. See “Troubleshooting” for tips on resolving problems.

C-RING TOOL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

TROUBLE SHOOTINGISSUE: AIR LEAK 1. The front leaks while tool is motionless. A. The Front Valve Seat (Part #16 ) is not locked deep enough. B. The Inlet Bushing (Part #59) is not closed enough but it would

not affect any operation.2. The front leaks while tool is in motion. A. The Rear Valve Seat (Part #5 ) is locked too deep. B. The Inlet Bushing (Part #59) is not closed enough but it would

not affect any operation.

TO LOCATE AND CORRECT AIR LEAKS If an Adjustable Valve Seat is turned too far, the opposite Valve will be

raised from its Bushing Seat, causing air leakage. To correct, back off Adjustable Valve Seat until leak stops. If leaks do not stop, check Piston (#30) and Piston O-Rings (#29). Reseat or replace, as indicated.

ISSUE: TRIGGER IS STICKING OR NOT WORKING 1. The Front Valve Seat (#16) and the Rear Valve Seat (#5) are locked too

deep, making the Throttle Assembly (#208) immovable.2. Lack of maintenance causing rust to form on the Throttle Assembly (#208),

making it immovable.3. The O-Ring (#29) is worn and torn, causing the Piston (#30) to loosen. 4. The Throttle Stem (#17) could not bounce out. It may be stuck to Front

Valve Seat(#16) with consolidation glue (?).

ISSUE: C-RINGS FLY OUT DURING OPERATION 1. The jaws of the tool are too tight. The Jaw Bushing (#41) is worn and torn

and must be replaced.2. The Jaws of the tool (#40, #50) are not smooth and hit on a C-Ring.

Remove Flexlock Nuts (#21) and Jaw Bolts (#74). Take out Jaws and replace.

3. The C-Rings are of poor quality, or not the right size for the tool.

ISSUE: TOOL DOESN’T FORM C-RINGS INTO PROPER SHAPE 1. The Jaws (#40, #50) are broken. Remove Flexlock Nuts (#21) and Jaw Bolts

(#74). Take out Jaws and replace. 2. The Piston & Piston Rod Assembly (#201) is broken or worn. Replace.3. The C-Rings are of poor quality, or not the right size for the tool.

When working with the tool, lways take care to put it down lightly to avoid damaging the body or the magazine. Do not drop the tool!

Tools not operating properly should be removed from service at once and checked for worn or damaged parts.

WHEN NOT IN OPERATIONWhen done using your C-Ring tool, and before performing maintenance or part replacements, the compressed air must be disconnected.

Your C-Ring tool should be regularly cleaned, especially when pushing it into foam. moisture, dirt or other foreign matter inside the tool will reduce its operational efficiency. After every use, check for and clear/clean off any particles in the jaws (#40, #50). Proper handling, operation and maintenance of your tool will assure it a long working life.

If tool will not be in operation for a longer period, it should be covered or stowed to keep dust off. Store tool at a moderate temperature and avoid humid environments.
