5.2. Explanation of the application range
The hydraulic cutting unit type K502 is able to cut copper as well as aluminium cables
and conductors even with a mild led armation.
Attention
Do not cut cables or conductors with a steel armation
The hydraulic pump unit type FHP 2 can be connected to all crimping and cutting heads
of our product range.
Attention
This tool is not insulated. Do not use on or near energised electrical
lines.
Before starting to cut please make sure that all parts involved in the cutting process are
not connected to live circuits.
5.3. Service and maintenance instruction
The hydraulic unit must be cleaned and dried after each use. The unit is basically
maintenance free, only the oil level must be checked regularly and the pump has to be
inspected for possible damages and wear.
Check the oil level of the pump unit. If the oil level proves to be unsatisfactory additional
oil has to be added. To do that open the oil filler plug (Pos.-No. 4) and fill in the oil.
After servicing the oil filler plug must be screwed on again.
The hydraulic hose (Pos.-No. 7) and the armature must be checked for damage and
leakage.
Attention
Spilled hydraulic oil has to be absorbed immediately.
After one year we recommend sending the tool in to the manufacturer for an inspection.
5.4. Oil changing cycles
It is advisable to have the pump serviced by a specialist during regular intervals to
safeguard a technically proper state before use.
