IMPORTANT OPERATING PRECAUTIONS
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.
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. 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. 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.
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 battery 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.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
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.

MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
5
http://www.huskietools.com [email protected]
RRIIGGHHTTWWRROONNGG
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.
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.
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.
