Compact 100-B Pressing Tools Daily Cleaning and Lubrication 1. Wipe the tool with a clean dry cloth. 2. Inspect the jaw mounting pin and lubricate the pin with silicone lubricant as needed. Jaws 1. Inspect the jaws inside diameter daily. If rusty, dirty or if there is evidence of copper or bronze fitting material building up on the jaw or ring inside diameter, (copper build-up is most likely to occur near the tips of scissor style jaws used on ProPress® fittings as shown in Figure 16) clean with fine grade ScotchBrite® (ScotchBrite® is a registered trademark of 3M Company) metal polishing pads (or equivalent), steel wool or a steel bristle wire brush.
