and lost wages resulting from such injuries. This warranty solely covers the repair or replacement of tools supplied by

KIT INCLUDES
The REC-S624CC was designed to cut the toughest steel used in construction today. It can replace an entire
tool kit, including several sizes of conventional bolt cutters, hacksaw, acetylene torches and cable cutters. The
REC-S624CC was designed from the same hydraulic system as the REC-658U featuring a rapid advance ram
for reduced cycle times.
The specially designed anvil style blades were made to cut EHS up to 9/16” and with
the pull of the trigger, you can cut ACSR cables up to 477 MCM, standard guy wires to 5/8”, and ground
rods to 5/8”. The specially designed flip-top latch and rotating head provide exceptional ease of use and
maneuverability in tight working quarters.
The REC-S624CC has an overload bypass, which will “kick out” when tool reaches 8 tons or is attempting to
cut cables beyond its capacities.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
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 flashing 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 difficulty in operation, please call our customer
service department at 1-800-860-6170.
CHARGING THE BATTERY
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.
ATTACHING THE BATTERY CARTRIDGE
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.
TRIGGER AND RELEASE BUTTON

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
CUTTING
MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
1. Retract blades by pressing the release button.
2. Be 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 by passed, 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.
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 difficulty with the operation and maintenance of this tool,
contact Huskie’s technical support department at 1-800-860-6170.

OPERATING PRECAUTIONS
PRECAUTION FOR THE TOOL
PRECAUTION FOR THE CHARGER
1. Always point the tool AWAY from other people.
2. 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.
3. Do not drop the tool. Dropping the tool may damage the hydraulic circuit and result in the tool
not functioning correctly.
4. 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.
5. Do not use tool for continous use. If any sign of over heating, allow the tool to cool for 15 mins.
6. Do not allow tool to be submerged in water. The tool may be used to in damp or wet
environments. 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. The BP-84 can be charged with any of the Huskie Lithium-Ion chargers including the CH-80,
CH-90 & CH-94.
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-84.
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.
