2.6) Blade retraction
By operating the pressure release button (6), the ram will retract and open the lower blade.
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 (1) illuminated combined with an alarm audible when the operating button (5)
is pressed (Ref. to Fig. 2), 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
flash 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 plastic case, to prevent dama-
ge. The case, type VAL P37, is suitable for storing the tool and accessories.
