OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
CHARGING THE BATTERY
ATTACHING THE BATTERY CARTRIDGE
1. While pressing the latch, pull out the battery cartridge. To
replace the battery cartridge, push the new cartridge rmly 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.
TRIGGER AND RELEASE BUTTON
1. The ram advances when the trigger is pressed and stops when
the trigger is released.
2. To retract the ram, push the release button. The ram continues
to retract while the release button is pressed.
1. Insert the plug end into a 120V power source. The LED (Power) indicator will be
steady green 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. The LED
indicator shows a steady amber while charging. A depleted battery will be
completely charged in approximately 50-70 minutes. The LED indicator will show
a steady green when the battery is fully charged.
3. If the LED indicator goes out or is ashing quick amber, 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.
4. For technical questions or difculty in operation, please call our customer service
department at 1-800-860-6170.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
CUTTING
1. Retract blades by pressing the release button.
2. Be sure that material being cut is within the specied 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 by
passed, it may be difcult to retract blades. If this occurs, continue to advance tool and build pres-
sure. 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.
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. Do not store the tool in a humid environment.
4. Wipe away any excess oil with a soapy cloth.
5. Provided that maintenance of the tool is carried out regularly, the tool should provide
many years of service.
6. Should you experience any difculty with the operation and maintenance of this tool,
contact Huskie’s technical support department at 1-800-860-6170.

IMPORTANT OPERATING PRECAUTIONS
PRECAUTION FOR THE TOOL
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.
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 re.
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.
PRECAUTION FOR THE BATTERY CARTRIDGE
PRECAUTION FOR THE CHARGER
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 approxi
mately 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.
