OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Insert the plug end into 120V power source. The LED 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 until the
LED indicator shows a steady amber. This indicates the battery is being
charged and will be completed in
approximately 90 minutes. The LED
indicator will show a Steady Green
(100%).
3. If the indicator shows a ashing
amber LED light 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 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 for service if such a condition occurs.
CHARGING THE BATTERY
1. While pressing the latch, pull up and
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
replacing the 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.

To assure maximum holding, allow end of the cable to extend at least one cable
diameter beyond the sleeve after it is compressed . Finished sleeve should look
like this. Be sure sleeves have been compressed the proper number of times.
(See NUMBER OF COMPRESSIONS Figure 1)
Figure 1
Use the swaging gauge provided with the tool to check proper after swage
diameter of sleeve. Compressed sleeve should slide into size slot in gauge.
Sleeves elongate after compression.
The following chart indicates to number of compressions for each size
sleeve to obtain maximum holding strength. The powerful 6-ton tool
requires only one compression for the 1/16, 3/32 and 1/8 size sleeves.
Select the proper die size for the sleeve to be swaged. Use only 3/32
sleeves with 3/32 die, 1/8 sleeve with 1/8 die and so on. For lap slices at
least two oval sleeves should be used.

Read all instructions - Failure to follow all instructions listed below may
result in electric shock, re and/ or serious injury. The term “power tool”
in all the warnings listed below refers to your battery operated (cordless)
power tool.
• This device contains a lithium button/coin cell battery. A new
or used battery can cause severe internal burns and lead
to death if swallowed or enters the body. Keep it away from
children. If you think batteries may have been swallowed or
entered the body, seek immediate medical attention.
Work Area Safety
• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite
accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of ammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
Personal Safety
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when
operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired
or under the inuence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of
distraction while operating power tools may result in personal injury.
• Use personal protection equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety
equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This
enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
Tool Use and Care
• To prevent leakage, overheating, smoke generation, re, and rupturing
from occurring, follow these instructions when handling our rechargeable
power tools (tool main body/battery pack/charger).
• Do not force the tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The
correct tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
• Do not use the tool if the switch does not turn it on and o󰀨.
Any tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must
be repaired.

• Disconnect the battery pack from the tool before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
• Store idle tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the tool or these instructions to operate the tool. These
tools can be dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
• Maintain tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition that may a󰀨ect the tools
operation. If damaged, have the tool repaired before use.
• Use power tools only with specically designated battery packs. Use of
any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and re.
•Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from battery; avoid
contact. If contact accidentally occurs, ush with water. If liquid contacts
eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may
cause irritation or burns.
Battery and Charger Use and Care
• Before using battery charger, read all instructions and cautionary
markings on battery charger, battery pack, and product using battery pack.
• To reduce the risk of injury, charge only Huskie Tools Battery
Pack model BP-185. Other types of batteries may burst causing personal
injury and damage.
• Do not leave charger and battery pack exposed to rain or snow,
submerge in water, or stored in damp or wet locations.
• To reduce risk of damaging the electric plug and cord, pull by plug rather
than cord when disconnecting charger.
• Make sure cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over,
or otherwise subjected to damage or stress.
• Do not disassemble charger or battery pack, contact Huskie Tools
service dept. at 800-860-6170 when service or repair is required. Incorrect
reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock or re.
• Do not store the tool and battery pack in locations where the temperature
may reach or exceed 50°C (122°F) (such as a metal tool shed, or a car in
the summer), which can lead to deterioration of the storage battery.
• Do not charge battery pack when the temperature is BELOW 0°C
(32°F) or ABOVE 40°C (104°F). This is very important to maintain optimal
condition of the battery pack.
• The charger is designed to operate on standard 120V AC
electrical power only. Do not attempt to use it on any other voltage.

• Charge the battery pack in a well ventilated place, do not cover the
charger and battery pack with a cloth, etc., while charging.
• Use of an attachment not recommended may result in a risk of re,
electric shock, or personal injury.
• Do not short the battery pack or allow metal objects to touch the
terminals.
A battery short can cause a large current ow, over heating
and create the risk of re or personal injury.
• Huskie Tools is not responsible for any damage or accident caused by
the use of recycled or counterfeit battery pack.
• Do not incinerate the battery pack or dispose of the battery pack in a
re, or expose it to excessive heat.
• Do not charge the battery pack in a high-temperature location, such as
next to a re or in direct sunlight. Otherwise, the battery may overheat,
catch re, or explode.
• After removing the battery pack from the tool or the charger, always re-
attach the pack cover. Otherwise, the battery contacts could be shorted,
leading to a risk of re.
• When the Battery Pack Has Deteriorated, Replace It with a New One.
Continued use of a damaged battery pack may result in heat generation,
ignition or battery rupture.
• When storing, remove any material cuttings and dust from the battery
pack, and place the battery pack separately from metal objects (screws,
nails, etc.) when storing in the tool case.

LED SCREEN
ADVANCED TOOL AND BATTERY PERFORMANCE MONITORING
The SERIES 7 tools feature newly developed PCB integrated into the
tools hydraulic circuit for monitoring battery capacity, recording cycle
count and output pressure, as well as the time, date, and location stamp.
There is a visual display integrated into the tool housing on all “REC”
and “SL” models. This display is a visual for complete or incomplete
tool cycle, battery status indicator, conrming GPS recorded location,
Bluetooth connection indicator, and service alert visual LED when
needed.
AUDIBLE ALERTS
The audible alerts on the tools can be turned “ON” or “OFF”. From the
factory, the compression tools are set to be “ON” and all cutting tools
are set to “OFF”. This can be changed on any tool by pressing and
holding the “SOUND” button for 5 seconds until the battery indicator LED
illuminates. The rst LED indicates audible alerts “ON”, and by pressing
the “SOUND” button again, will illuminate the second LED which will
indicate the audible alerts “OFF” The third LED indicates “ON” for “Good”
and “OFF” for “Error” – this can be toggled back and forth by pressing the
check button until the desired audible alert status is reached.

www.loosnaples.com 11 Toll Free: 800-321-LOOS (5667)
BLUETOOTH CONNECTIVITY
BLUETOOTH CONNECTIVITY
The tools use a Bluetooth signal to connect to a laptop, desktop, or smart
device via an APP. This connection will serve as a means by which the
software can “read” and “write” data stored in the tool circuitry.
The stored data can be read and exported to .pdf document or a
Microsoft Excel document via the proprietary software “Huskie SERIES
7 Data Management System”, which is available for free download at
Microsoft Store.
Some data elds are locked such as tool model and serial number, as
well as certain parameter settings that function as control points for
output pressure, cycle counts, and service interval cycles. These elds
are password protected but can be changed by service technicians
that need to reprogram new boards in the case of damage. Other data
elds are writable for record keeping such as eld notes for service,
assignment to a truck number or crew, jobsite, etc.
The data will give a user the ability to see the last recorded 500 cycles
the tool made with time, date, and location stamp, viewable on Google
Maps as well as pressure output and a tool diagnosed “complete” or
“incomplete” cycle. They can also view the output pressure settings, and
adjust if necessary. Like all the stored data, it too can be exported to .pdf
document or Microsoft Excel document.
The GPS chip located inside the tool is not connected to a service
provider for the use of tracking a misplaced or stolen tool in such an
event. If the tool is in a location where it cannot receive a satellite signal
to record the location, that recorded line is simply blank where a MAP
icon would normally be. All other parameters are recorded.
