GUIDE TO CUTTING CYCLES
This guide indicates the number of cutting cycles that the REC-530Y can be expected to perform when the battery is fully
charged. These figures are approximately and will vary according to the charging and other operating operating conditions, such
as temperature, humidity, and battery condition.

1. Select only the appropriate material to be cut. Cutting materials other than those specified will result in severe
tool damage and may cause personal injury. Consult factory if you have any questions about cutting capacities.
2. Always cut the material at the 90°degree angle to the blades. Trying to cut at any other angle will cause the
blades to spread apart and possibly break.
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 (-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.
5. Do not drop the tool. Dropping the tool may damage the hydraulic circuit and result in the tool not functioning correctly.
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 and water to clean the body.
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 green and remains lit when the unit starts charging a battery cartridge. The indicator
turns orange when charging is completed.
2. This unit is for charging battery cartridges BP-70E, BP-70EI, BP-70R, BP-70I 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 25 minutes
for the BP-70E and BP-70EI, 15 minutes for BP-70R and BP-70I, and 35 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.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1 Insert the plug end into a 120V power source. The LED indicator will
flash red indicating the charger is now in “stand-by” mode and ready to
charge the battery. Do not plug the charger into a generator as this will
likely cause the fuse in the charger to short, and will not operate.
2. To charge a drained battery, insert the battery into the charger until the
LED indicator shows a steady green. This indicates the battery is being
charged and will be completed in approximately 25 minutes. The LED
indicator will show orange when charging is completed.
3. If the indicator shows a steady red when the battery is inserted, the bat-
tery is too hot to be charged and must be cooled to room temperature before charging. Do not leave the battery in
the charger to cool as the charger will not recognize the battery is inserted and will not charge.
4. If the LED indicator goes out or is flashing quick red, this could be a possible short in the battery circuit, or a
problem with the charger itself. It is best to consult the factory at 1-800-860-6170 for service if such a condition occurs.
5. To recondition the battery, insert the battery into the charger and push the “R” button. The LED indicator should
be flashing green to indicate the discharge cycle is now in progress. The light will turn steady orange when complete
and the battery will have a full charge.
6. For technical questions or difficulty in operation, please call our customer service department at 1-800-860-6170.
1. While pressing the latch, pull out the battery cartridge. To replace the
battery cartridge, push the new cartridge firmly into place.
2. After inserting a battery cartridge, check that it is securely in place by pulling
gently. Do not press the latch when pulling the cartridge.
1. The ram advances when the trigger is pressed and stops when the trigger is released.
2. To retract the ram, press the release button. The ram continues to retract while
the release button is pressed.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
CUTTING:
1. Retract blades by pressing the release button.
2. Make sure that material being cut is within the specified cutting capacity of the tool.
3. Place the material to be cut between the blades and press the advance trigger until blades hold the material in place.
4. Check material for proper alignment to the cutting blades. It should be at a 90° degree angle to the blades. Any
other angle will cause the blades to spread apart and possibly break.
5. Continue to advance the blades until the material is cut. If material is cut and tool has not yet bypassed, it may be
difficult to retract blades. If this occurs, continue to advance tool and build pressure. A series of clicks will be
heard while the tool running in a “neutral” mode. This indicates that the tool has built full pressure and bypassed
and can now be released.
RIGHT WRONG
MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
1. Daily maintenance is required to ensure that the tool is kept in good working condition.
2. Sharpen blades occasionally with a sharpening stone on the back side of the blades to remove any burrs that may occur.
3. Wipe away any excess oil with a soapy cloth.
4. Provided that maintenance of the tool is carried out regularly, the tool should provide many years of service.
5. Should you experience any difficulty with the operation and maintenance of this tool, contact Huskie’s technical
support department at 1-800-860-6170.
