advance the piston. Disconnect battery. Check piston and housing for
accumulated dirt and iron filings that may be jamming the piston (See p.17
CLEANING). If, after cleaning, the piston still does not automatically retract
when fully extended, the piston itself may be damaged. Return the tool to
an authorized repair center.
6. Check that power source is appropriate to the tool.
CARE:
If voltage is too high, the motor will burn out. If voltage is too low,
insufficient power will be generated. Use rechargeable battery 36V.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
DISCONNECT BATTERY before performing any maintenance.
CUTTER BLOCKS
Before using, always check that the two bolts on each
cutter block are properly tightened. Using a loose block
will result in damage to block and housing. Also check
condition of cutter blocks. If either cutting edge is dull or
chipped, remove retaining bolts and rotate both blocks
so that two new edges come into use. Replace and
tighten bolts (Each block has four cutting edges). When
all four cutting edges have been used or if either block
is cracked or otherwise damaged, replace both blocks.
CAUTION:
A loose or cracked block may result in injury to operator.
CLEANING
Clean your tool every day, preferably immediately after use.
CAUTION:
Wear gloves to protect hands from metal splinters.
Do not use an air gun: blasting with air can cause metal filings and/or dust to
get into eyes and respiratory system. Wipe or brush away all dirt and metal
filings.
OIL-LEVEL CHECK (ADDING OIL)
As the cutters are hydraulically operated, the oil-level must be checked at
frequent intervals, preferably every day. Failure to maintain the oil at the proper
level results in a drop in pressure and loss of cutting power.
CAUTION:
Hydraulic oil is highly flammable. Keep away from sparks and
naked flame. Do not smoke. Hydraulic oil may cause inflammation of the eyes
and skin. If ingested, it could cause diarrhea and vomiting. In case of eye
contact, rinse in clean water for at least 15 minutes and consult a physician. In
case of skin contact, wash thoroughly with soap and water. In case of ingestion,
consult a physician immediately. Do not induce vomiting.
1. Oil should be warm but not hot. Warm up the tool if it is cold.
