2.7) Battery status
The battery is equipped with LED indicators that indicate the remaining battery life at any time
by pressing the adjacent button (9):
4 LEDs illuminated: fully charged
2 LEDs illuminated: 50 % capacity
1 LED flashing: minimum charge, replace the battery.
Worklights (11) illuminated combined with an alarm
audible when the operating button (5) is pressed (Ref. to
Fig. 4), indicate that the battery voltage has dropped below
a minimum safety threshold; under these conditions the tool will
not start, and it is necessary to recharge or replace the battery.
The approximate time to fully recharge a battery is about 80 minutes.
After each working cycle, and after the extraction of the battery from the tool, an integrated
battery cut-off device will operate after 70 s approx. Then the LED nearest to button (9) will
fl ash 5 times each 14 s approx. The battery will be reactivated when it is reintroduced into
the tool and the operating button is pressed.
2.8) Using the battery charger
Carefully follow the instructions in the battery charger user manual.
3. MAINTENANCE
The tool is robust, completely sealed, and requires very little daily maintenance. Compliance with
the following points, should help to maintain its optimum performance:
3.1) Thorough cleaning
Dust, sand and dirt are a danger for any hydraulic device. Every day, after use, the tool must be
wiped with a clean cloth taking care to remove any residue, especially close to pivots and move
able parts.
Do not use hydrocarbons to clean the rubber parts.
Regularly lubricate the moving parts and pivot pins of the head with a few drops of oil.
3.2) Storage case
When not in use, the tool should be stored and transported in the metal case, to prevent damage.
Metal case: VAL B-TC950, size 565x410x132 mm (22.2x16.1x5.2 in.), weight 6,7 kg (14.7 lbs).
3.3) Routine maintenance
When the tool reaches the predetermined number of hours worked, it will signal that routine
maintenance is recommended.
The tool will continue to work however 15 sec. after use an alarm comprising 3 beeps com-
bined with illumination of the worklights will signal that its return to Cembre for service is
recommended (see § 6).
