5. Remarks in respect of the determined use
Before starting any work on electrical appliances it must be
safeguarded that there are no live parts in the immediate assembly
area of the user. Is this not possible special precaution
near live parts must be provided.
Prior to operating the unit the charging level of the battery (Pos.-
No. 7) should have been tested
detected by the flashing of the LED (Pos.-No. 6) for 20 sec. at the
end of a cutting cycle.
Keep your working area clean and tidy. Do not use this tool when
you are tired, on drugs, had alcohol or if you are medicated.

5.1. Operation of the unit

The cutting head (Pos.-No. 4) has to be opened by unhooking the
latch (Pos.-No. 3 & Picture 2 Pos. A). Place the conductor/cable
into the open cutting head. Afterwards the cutting head must be
completely closed.
The cutting procedure is initiated by actuating the trigger (Pos.-No.
1 & Picture 2 Pos. C). The cutting process is defined by the closing
motion of the blades (Pos.-No. 10).
Attention
The cutting process can be interrupted at any
moment by releasing the trigger.
The cutting process is terminated when the cutting blades overlap.
After having completed the cut the blades return into the starting
position by actuating the retract button (Pos.-No 2, Picture 2 Pos.
B) once. After a few seconds a second cutting cycle can be
initiated.
Attention
After having terminated the cutting process
and prior to changing the blades remove

5.3. Service and maintenance instruction
The electric-hydraulic cutting unit is equipped with a sophisticated
controller enabling the user to see when the next service is due. (Pls.
read chapter 4.3 for more information) When the next service is due the
unit must to be returned to an authorised service centre.
For every day service the unit has to be cleaned and dried after each use.
The battery cartridge (Pos.-No. 7) and the charging unit have to be
protected against humidity and dust.
Attention
Keep the blades sharp and clean and grease the guidance
regularly.
Within the determined use of the tool only the blades (Pos.-No. 10) are
permitted to be changed by the customers. If the seals are damaged the

5.4 Remarks on the use of the battery cartridge and charging unit.
The charging unit is run with a nominal voltage of 230 V and a
frequency of 50-60 Hz. New batteries must be charged prior to use. To
charge the battery cartridge (Pos.-No. 7) the power plug of the charging
unit has to be plugged into the power supply and the battery cartridge
has to be pushed into the charging unit. The charging time is one hour.
The charging level of the battery cartridge can be checked by a LED
green battery cartridge is charged
red Battery cartridge is empty and is just being charged
flashing battery cartridge is not pushed in properly or too hot,
a sound signal occurs
Is the battery plugged in correctly the LED changes from green to red
and the charging procedure starts. When the charging procedure is
terminated the LED changes again to green. Simultaneously a signal
occurs for 5 seconds.
No other battery cartridges e.g. dry batteries or car batteries etc. are
permitted to be used neither in the tool nor in the charging unit.
As soon as the speed of the machine decreases noticeably the battery
must be recharged. Do not recharge a partially discharged battery as a
precaution.
If charging a battery which has currently been used or which was laying
in the sun for a longer period of time the LED might flash red. In this
case wait for a while. The charging procedure starts after the battery
cooled down.
Does the LED flash red and green and does an audible tone occur for 20
seconds it is not possible to charge that battery. The poles of the battery
or the charging unit are dirty or the battery is low or damaged. If you
want to charge two batteries in a row wait for 15 min before you charge
the second battery.
Avoid great fluctuating temperatures under 0°C and above 40°C.
Through these fluctuations damages may result for the battery cartridge
as well as for the charging unit. The best operation temperature is
between 15-25 °C.
Do not leave or operate the charging unit in rain or snow. Do not charge
the battery near lightly inflammable materials or gases.

The charging level of the battery can also be verified by the LED of the
tool at the end of a cutting cycle. See chapter 4.3 for further information.
