4.0 IMPORTANT OPERATING PRECAUTIONS
TROUBLESHOOTING
3.6
Problem Cause Solution
The motor does not operate at all.
The battery is not charged or defective. Charge or replace the battery.
There is dust or foreign objects lodged at
the battery contacts. Remove foreign objects.
The switch is misaligned. Check to see if switch is aligned with trigger,
consult tool service.
The motor runs but ram will not advance, or ram
advances but will not build pressure.
Consult tool service.
Air in hydraulic system.
Insufcient hydraulic oil.
Hold the tool with head towards the oor to
allow air to rise towards top of oil bladder.
Defective hydraulic circuit. Consult tool service.
The ram will not retract
Tool did not complete a full cycle and
bypass.
Depress trigger and allow tool to reach full
pressure and bypass, then depress release
button to retract the ram.
The connector is jammed in compression
dies.
Depress and hold release button while prying
compression dies apart.
The release button is bent or misaligned. Consult tool service.
4.1 PRECAUTIONS FOR COMPRESSION TOOL
1. Select the appropriate dies for the connector and
conductor to be compressed. Incorrect combinations
result in inferior connections between the connector and
conductor and are an electrical hazard.
2. Never operate the tool without dies installed.
3. Always point the tool away from other people.
4. If the tool is stored for an extended period at a
temperature of less than 25º F (-5º C), 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.
5. Do not drop the tool. Dropping the tool may damage the
hydraulic circuit and cause malfunctions.
6.
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 & water to clean the body.
PRECAUTIONS FOR THE BATTERY PACK
4.2
1. Do not short circuit the contacts or expose the
battery to water, oil or solvents.
2. Do not disassemble or attempt to repair the
battery.
3. Do not dispose of the battery by burning or as residual waste.
4. Do not drop or otherwise abuse the battery.
5. Do not leave the battery in locations where it will be
exposed to a temperature greater than 104 degrees F (40
degrees C) for an extended period.
6. The battery has a limited life. When the charge holding
capacity becomes about 1/2 that of the original capacity,
the battery should be replaced.
7. If the battery 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 regularly.
PRECAUTIONS FOR THE CHARGER
4.3
1. The Right LED lamp illuminates green and remains on when the unit begins charging a battery. The indicator Blinks Green
when charging is completed.
2. This unit is for charging battery BAT-LI 34 only. Do not use the charger for any other devices.
3. The Charger automatically calibrates the battery as needed for optimized charging. The Right LED lamp will Illuminate Green
then Blink Red 4 times to indicate calibration. Charging will begin after calibration completes.
4. Charge batteries at an ambient temperature of 50-95 degrees F (10-35 degrees C). Charging time is approximately 60
minutes for 100% capacity. If the Right LED Blinks RED, the battery is too HOT/COLD. Leave the battery in the charging slot
and charging will begin once the proper temperature is reached.
5. Never short circuit the output contacts.
6. Do not expose the charger to water, oil or solvents.
7. Do not disassemble, modify, drop or otherwise abuse the charger.
