The compact ergonomically formed design consists
of 2 components. The grip area is rubber coated
and therefore slip resistent. The housing design is
optimized in respect of the center of gravity which
improves the handling and supports fatique-proof
working.
All tool functions can be controlled by
one
trigger.
This results in an easy handling and a better grip
compared to a two button operation.
Li-Ion batteries do neither have a memory effect nor
self discharge. Even after long periods of non ope-
ration the tool is always ready to operate. In addition
we see a lower power weight ratio with 50% more
capacity and shorter charging cycles compared to
NiMH batteries.
The oil used in our tool is particularly environmen-
tally friendly and and has been rewarded „
The Blue
Angel
“. The oil is also suitable for low temperatures
and has excellent lubrication characteristics
3.3 Description of the tool indication
See Tab. 1.
Prior to operating the unit the charging level of the battery
(pic. 1, 2) should have been tested. A low charging level
can be detected by the
fl
ashing of the LED (pic. 1, 1) for
20 s at the end of a cutting cycle.
4. Remarks in respect of the
determined use
Before starting any work on electrical appliances it must
be safeguarded that there are no live parts in the imme-
diate assembly area of the user. If this not possible spe-
cial precaution measures (
e.g. acc. to EN 50110-1
) for working
near live parts must be provided.
Do not use this tool when you are tired, on drugs, had
alcohol or if you are medicated.
4.1 Operation of the unit
Cycle: see pictures in front
Attention
The cutting head must be positioned perpen-
dicular to the cable in order to avoid lateral
forces.
Attention
After having terminated the working cycle and
prior to changing the blades remove battery to
avoid unintended use. Avoid unintended starts.
Make sure the switch is in the off position before
plugging in.
Attention
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts.
Attention
Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
Attention
Use safety gear and always wear eye protec-
tion.

4.2 Explanation of the application range
Our electric-hydraulic cutting tool can cut mild rein-
forced copper and aluminium conductors or cables
up to a maximum diameter of 65 mm. The ES65-L
is not able to cut some reinforced cables beyond 60
mm diameter because of the limited cutting force.
Attention
Do not cut ACSR, guy wire, wire ropes and rein-
forcing bars. This might damage the blades!
Attention
Use safety glasses when cutting rein-
forced conductors
If different conducting materials have to be cut, please
contact the manufacturer.
Attention
Do not cut live cables or conductors.
This is not an insulated tool.
The hand held tool is not supposed to be restrained in a
vise. It is not allowed to use the tool in a stationary appli-
cation. Complying certain conditions the unit can be ope-
rated stationary with our presentation support EKST-L.
The conditions can be taken from the instruction manual
of the EKST-L.
The tool is not designed for continued cutting operations.
After a sequence of approximately 30-40 completed cuts
you have to make a break of 15 min. to give the tool time
to cool down.
Attention
Too intensive use can cause heat damages for
the tool
Attention
During the operation of electric engines sparks
can occur which might ignite highly infl ammab-
le or explosive liquids and materials
Attention
Electric-hydraulic cutting tools should not be
operated in pouring rain or under water.
