OPERATING PRECAUTIONS
PRECAUTION FOR THE TOOL
PRECAUTION FOR THE CHARGER
1. Select appropriate dies for the connector to be compressed. Incorrect combinations result in
inferior connections of the conductors. Consult your connector manufacturer for the
recommended die/connector combinations.
2. Always point the tool AWAY from other people.
3. If the tool is stored for an extended period at a temperature of less than 25º F (-5ºC), the tool
should be allowed to return to room temperature to ensure smooth operation Use the tool only
after it has been at room temperature for 1 hour.
4. Do not drop the tool. Dropping the tool may damage the hydraulic circuit and result in the tool
not functioning correctly.
5. Keep the head and ram clean and free of debris. Solvents can be used to clean the head, but
should not be used on the plastic body. Use soap and water to clean the body.
6. Do not use tool for continous use. If any sign of over heating, allow the tool to cool for 15 mins.
7. Do not allow tool to be submerged in water. The tool may be used in damp or wet environ-
ments. However it is recommended for tool to be air-dried before use.
PRECAUTION FOR THE BATTERY CARTRIDGE
1. Do not short circuit the contacts or expose the cartridge to water, oil or solvents.
2. Do not disassemble or attempt to repair the battery cartridge or dispose of in a fire.
3. Do not drop or otherwise abuse the battery cartridge.
4. Do not leave the cartridge in locations where it will be exposed to a temperature greater than
140ºF (60ºC) for an extended period.
5. The battery has a limited life. When the crimping capacity becomes about 1/2 that of the
original capacity, the battery should be replaced.
6. If the battery cartridge is stored without being charged, natural drainage will cause the power
to be reduced. The battery should be charged every 3 months if not in use.
1. The LED indicator lights up amber and remains lit when the unit starts charging a battery
cartridge. The indicator turns green when charging is completed.
2. This unit is for charging battery cartridges BP-80, BP-70E, BP-70EI and BP-70MH only. Do not
use the charger for any other devices.
3. Allow battery cartridges to cool before charging. Allow at least 15 minutes between charges
when charging several cartridges in succession.
4. Charge batteries at an ambient temperature of 50º-95ºF (10º-35º C). Charging time is
approximately 50-70 minutes for the BP-80, 50 minutes for the BP-70E and BP-70EI, and 70
minutes for the BP-70MH.
5. Never short circuit the output terminals.
6. Do not expose the charger to water, oil or solvents.
7. Do not disassemble, attempt to modify, drop or otherwise abuse charger.
