WARNING : use dielectric oil only.

Hydraulic pumps manufactured by Cembre S.p.A. are developed for use with hydraulic heads.

According to this specific use, they do not need and are not equipped with an oil non-return safety

system.

For this reason, use in applications different from those intended (for example with hydraulic jacks,

lifting systems or similar) can be dangerous for the operator.

Cembre S.p.A. does not accept any liability arising from the use of its hydraulics pumps for ap-

plications different from those listed in its catalogues or other documentation.

Do not use the pump for purposes other than those intended by Cembre S.p.A.

The operator should concentrate on the work being performed and be careful to maintain a ba-

lanced working position.

Avoid dirty surfaces: dust and sand are a danger to any Electro-hydraulic equipment.

Protect the pump and accessories from rain and moisture. Water will damage the pump and battery.

The flexible hydraulic hose supplied should always be used to connect the hydraulic head to the

pump. The hydraulic head should never be directly connected to the pump.

The pump contains dielectric oil which must not be polluted with any other types of oil.

Never connect to the pump any hydraulic heads which still contains oil, this can occur if the ram on

the hydraulic head has not been fully retracted; excess oil could cause the pump to malfunction.

Before disconnecting the flexible hose, check that the ram of the head is completely retracted, in

order to ensure that a sufficient quantity of oil is available for subsequent operations.

The pump is unsuitable for continuous use and should be allowed to cool down following uninter-

rupted, successive crimping operations; for instance, having exhausted a fully charged battery in

one session, delay battery replacement for a few minutes.

WARNINGS

I

MPORTANT: Before using

the equipment, carefully

read all the warnings

and instructions in this

manual. Failure to follow

the warnings and instruc-

tions may result in electric

shock, fire and/or serious

injury.

When operating

the pump, keep

hands away from

the danger zone.

Safety instructions for battery:

– Protect battery from water and moisture!

– Do not expose battery to naked ﬂame!

– Do not use faulty or deformed battery!

– Do not open battery!

– Do not touch or short circuit battery contacts!

– A slightly acidic, flammable fluid may leak from defective

Li-ion battery!

– If battery ﬂuid leaks out and comes into contact with your skin,

rinse immediately with plenty of water. If battery ﬂuid leaks out

and comes into contact with your eyes, wash them with clean

water and seek medical attention immediately!

– At the end of their life, always recycle batteries.

– Never discard batteries with domestic waste. They must be

sent to appropriate collection centres for disposal.

– If the machine is defective, remove the battery from the machine.

– Remove the battery from the machine to transport the machine.

Transport of Li-ion battery packs:

The shipping of Li-ion battery pack is subject to laws related to the carriage of hazardous

goods (UN 3480 and UN 3481).

Inform yourself of the currently valid speciﬁcations when shipping Li-ion battery packs. If nec-

essary, consult your freight forwarder.

Only send the battery pack if the housing is intact and no ﬂuid is leaking.

Remove the battery pack from the machine for sending.

Prevent the contacts from short-circuiting (e.g. by protecting them with adhesive tape).

1.1) Compliance of use

- The complete unit (pump & cutting head) is speciﬁcally designed for the safe cutting of

Copper and Aluminum cable where the absence of voltage cannot be guaranteed.

- The B68M-P18-KV-RC3 pump is designed to activate hydraulic heads for cutting conductor

cables or for crimping electrical cable lugs.

- The dielectric oil used within the pump has special properties which insulate the pump from

the cutting head in the event that a live cable is accidentally cut.

- The innovative radio remote control is speciﬁcally designed to allow the operator to control

and operate the pump at a safe distance from the cutting operation.

- The complete unit (pump & cutting head) is fitted with a unique patented system which stops

the pumps operation when a sensor on the cutting head signals that the cutting blades have

fully travelled. At this point the LED indicator and buzzer on the pump notify the operator of

the successful completion of the cutting operation. For this reason, each pump is paired to its

specific cutting head only and it must be considered as a complete unit.

For the proper operation of all the safety features in the complete unit, each cutting

head is paired to its associated pump. This procedure is completed by Cembre prior

to delivery. Due to this, the use of non-paired pumps and cutting heads is not recom-

mended and should be avoided. In order to trace all of the components of each complete unit,

such as: pump, cutting heads, radio control, the user should check the same identiﬁcation

number reported on each item.
