WORKING INSTRUCTIONS FOR CRIMPING
Use only standardized connectors according to national standards
with dedicated crimping dies.
Consult the documents provided by the manufacturer for handling
and assembly instructions for connectors.
Check that the nominal diameter of the connecting item corre-
sponds to the nominal diameter of the crimping insert.
Before the crimping process begins, the battery capacity must be
checked: minimum 33% (see illustrated description).It may require
charging before work commences.
Actuating the control switch initiates the pressing process, which is
characterized by the crimping dies coming together.
It is the user’s responsibility to check and evaluate that the joint
is correct.
Imperfect joints must be crimped again using a new connector.
Action in the event of faults
• Keep the reset switch pressed until the jaws have opened
completely
• check the battery capacity
• Inspect the cable and the crimping dies based on the technical
data
• If it is suspected that a live cable has been pressed, the crimping
tool must be inspected at an authorized, specialist workshop
WORKING INSTRUCTIONS FOR CUTTING
Set-up of the working area
Before work begins, the cables or cords must be disconnected and
it must be ensured that they remain isolated from the power supply
for the duration of the work.
If it cannot be ensured beyond doubt that the cable or insulated line
has been disconnected, no work may be carried out.
It is crucial that local safety provisions and the regulations are
observed.
Cable and cord may not be exposed to any mechanical forces and
must be secured from any uncontrolled movements following the
cut.
Do not expose tools to rain. Do not use tools in damp or wet
locations.
Preparation of cable cutter and battery
Before every use:
• Inspect cable cutter for external defects
• Check the cutting tool for cracks and other signs of wear
Only use in perfect condition!
Before the cutting process begins, the battery capacity must be
checked: minimum 33% (see illustrated description). It may require
charging before work commences.
Preparation for the cutting process
Support and fix the cable or rope to be cut to minimise the risk of
uncontrolled movement.
Overhead cables and cords, in particular, can move out of control
and cause injury and/or damage.
The cutting head must be positioned at an angle of 90° to the cable
or cord, so that the cable can lie in the opened cutting jaws without
tension and undesirable shearing forces can be avoided.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of explosions, electric
shock and damage to property and equipment, never cut
live electrical cables.
Device is NOT insulated. Contact with a live circuit could
result in severe injury or death. Turn off power before
making a cut. Never cut gas or water lines. Keep hands
away from all cutting edges and moving parts. Laceration
and amputation can occur.
Always remove battery pack before changing or removing
accessories. Only use accessories specifically recommended
for this device. Others may be hazardous.
To reduce the risk of injury, wear safety goggles or glasses
with side shields.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, only cut recom-
mended materials for the blades. (see „Specifications“) Do
not attempt to cut other materials.
Cutting
Before cutting, ensure cutting blades are properly installed.
1. Guide the cable at right angles to the cutting of the cable cutter.
Do not attempt to make angled cuts as it will damage the device
and cutting blades.
2. Pull and hold the trigger through the operation.
An LED will light when the trigger is pulled.
When the cut is complete or the device shuts off, the cutting jaws
open independently. If you release the trigger during the cutting
operation, you musst press the hydraulic reset button to open the
cutting jaws.
Note: Workpiece may move slightly during the cut.
Action in the event of faults
• The cable can be broached and become live, in which case always
inform the safety officer, stop the cutting process, and initiate
suitable protective measures
• Always ensure that the device is and will stay disconnected from
the power supply before approached and touching the device
• press and hold the hydraulic reset button until the cutter opens
completely
• check the battery capacity
• check the material and material thickness against the technical
data
• If it is suspected that a live cable has been cut, the cable-cutter
has to be inspected in an authorized specialist workshop
Jammed Blades
Dirt and debris can cause the blades to become jammed together
after a cut
• Press and hold the hydraulic release button to ensure the tool
has reset.
• Remove the battery pack.
• Follow the picture description to open the cutting bars
• Clean any dirt and debris from the blades before starting another
cut.
Cutting Tips
• Do not attempt to make angled cuts as it will damage the device
and cutting blades.
• Cut clean material to extend the cutting blade life. Wipe dirt and
debris from material and cutting blades before beginning the cut.
MAINTENANCE
Remove the battery pack before starting any adjustment, cleaning
and maintenance work on the device.
Never open the device, removable battery or charger.
