2.7) Battery status
The battery is equipped with LED indicators that indicate the
remaining battery life at any time by pressing the adjacent
button (P):
4 LEDs illuminated: fully charged
2 LEDs illuminated: 50 % capacity
1 LED flashing: minimum charge, replace the battery.
Worklights (4) illuminated combined with an alarm audible when the operating button (5)
is pressed (Ref. to Fig. 3), indicate that the battery voltage has dropped below a minimum
safety threshold. Under these conditions the tool will not start, and it is necessary to recharge
or replace the battery. The approximate time to fully recharge a battery is about 40 minutes.
2.8) Using the battery charger
Carefully follow the instructions in the battery charger user manual.
3. MAINTENANCE
The tool is robust, completely sealed and requires very little daily maintenance. Compliance with
the following points should help to maintain its optimum performance:
3.1) Thorough cleaning
Dust, sand and dirt are a danger for any hydraulic device. Every day, after use, the tool must be
wiped with a clean cloth, taking care to remove any residue, especially close to pivots and move-
able parts.
Do not use hydrocarbons to clean the rubber parts.
Regularly lubricate the moving parts and pivot pins of the head with a few drops of oil.
3.2) Cleaning of the rubber handgrip
To avoid the accumulation of swarf inside the rubber handgrip, (3) periodically fold back the
handgrip near the blades and carefully brush out any debris.
3.3) Storage case
When not in use, the tool should be stored and transported in the metal case to prevent damage.
Metal case: VAL-P59, size 620x360x138 mm (24.4x14.2x5.6 in.), weight 2,4 kg (5.3 lbs).
3.4) Routine maintenance
When the tool reaches the predetermined number of hours worked, it will signal that routine
maintenance is recommended.
The tool will continue to work, however 15 sec. after use an alarm comprising 3 beeps com-
bined with illumination of the worklights will signal that its return to CEMBRE for service is
recommended (see § 6).
