4. GENERAL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS4.1. INITIAL USE


When receiving your equipment check for any sign of damage to the box, and report it to your distributor/supplier as damage could have occurred during shipping. Unpack in upright position and check the product for damage. To make sure the product conforms to your specifications,checktheproductdetailsontheproductlabel.

CHECK THE EQUIPMENT FOR EXTERNAL DAMAGE. NOTIFY YOUR DISTRIBUTOR/SUPPLIER IMMEDIATELY IF ANY DAMAGE IS FOUND. DO NOT USE DAMAGED EQUIPMENT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE!

In general we distinguish a couple of different types of operations:• Connecting the Resqtec Battery Pack • Disconnecting the Resqtec Battery Pack • Charging the Resqtec Battery Pack • Battery Pack: testing, on & off• Operating the product

4.2. PREPARATION BEFORE USE

• Check the arms, piston and/or blades of the tool. Do not use if they exhibit major damage and/or do not function as intended. • See chapter 6 for further information.

• Check the operation of the dead-man’s valve. It should return to its neutral position when released. • See chapter 6 for further information.

•Checkthecarryinghandle(s).Itmustbefirmlyfixed. • See chapter 6 for further information.

• Make sure the Battery Pack connector, the charger and system related cables are all dust free and dry. • See chapter 6 for further information.

•Performaninitialtestofthesystembybrieflycarryingoutthe opening and closing actions as described in chapter 4.3. • See chapter 6 for further information.



The product is operated by the dead-man’s control handle:• Rotating the control handle leftward will make the blades or arms open up or extend the piston.• Rotating the control handle rightward will make the blades or arms close or retract the piston. To keep opening or closing the blades or arms, extending or retracting the piston keep the control handle rotated. Adjust the speed by rotating more or less.

DO NOT TIGHTLY SQUEEZE THE TIPS OF THE SPREADING JAWS TOGETHER.

By releasing the control handle the dead-man’s control will make the control handle return to neutral position. The blades, arms or piston cannot be moved by external forces.

4.7. CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK

RECHARGE BATTERY PACKS IMMEDIATELY AFTER EACH USE.

IF NOT PLUGGED IN THE CHARGER, RECHARGE AT LEAST ONCE EVERY 2 MONTHS TO AVOID REDUCED BATTERY CAPACITY. CHARGE THE BATTERY PACKS USING ONLY (A) RESQTEC CHARGER(S).

To keep the battery at optimum charge level and for an optimum lifespan, keep the battery in the charger for trickle charging. This applies to the Battery Pack 1 and Battery Pack 10.

Connect the male connector end of the charger to the female connector end of the charger adapter.

Connect the other female end of the charger adapter to the Battery Pack’s male connector end.

The battery status indicator will indicate the battery’s energy level.

Make sure the Battery Pack is turned off before connecting, otherwise the battery status indicator will not indicate the battery’s energy level.

After heavy use, CRC SP 400 can be used to ensure spreader jaws, ram jaws or cutter blades are protected against corrosion.

• Only apply on the spreader jaws, ram jaws or cutter blades.

• Spray and clean with dry paper cloth.

• Clean any other parts that may have attracted some coating in the process.

Read instructions carefully before using CRC SP 400.

ATTENTION! IF YOU DECIDE THE SPREADER JAWS, RAM JAWS OR CUTTER BLADES NEED TO BE COATED FOR ANTI-CORROSION PURPOSES, ONLY USE CRC SP 400. OTHER PRODUCTS ARE KNOWN TO HAVE NEGATIVE EFFECTS ON THE LUBRICANT USED IN YOUR TOOL. OTHER PRODUCTS ALSO DO NOT HAVE THE HIGH PROTECTION GRADE THAT CRC SP 400 PROVIDES.



It is advisable to carry out regular maintenance; depending on the use at least every 3 months or 25 operating hours.

When carrying out regular maintenance one should, in addition to the steps described in chapter 6.1, pay extra attention to the following:

6.2.1 GENERAL MAINTENANCE

6.2. REGULAR MAINTENANCE

1. Check the spreader arms, ram jaws and cutter blades for major damage.

• Check for cracks.

• Check for damage to the central bolt.

Do not use the product if it exhibits major damage.

2. Check the spreader arms, ram jaws and cutter blades for major damage.

• The blades must be completely parallel to each other, with a minimal opening between them.

Do not use the product if the blades are not aligned.

3. Check the dead-man’s handle.• Check whether it automatically returns to its neutral position after the handle is turned and released.

If the dead-man’s handle is not functioning properly, contact your Resqtec distributor/supplier.

4. Check for Battery Pack connection and sliding.

• Apply a little amount of Silicone spray at the aluminum sliding parts. Connect and disconnect the Battery Pack at least 3 times.

If the battery connection or connector is not functioning properly, contact your Resqtec distributor/supplier.

Straight blades have a tendency to twist when cutting in certain structures. Whilst cutting, mind the following:

DURING CUTTING, STOP WHENEVER YOU NOTICE THAT BLADES ARE TWISTING. WHEN TWISTING, THE OPENING EXCEEDS 8MM / 5/16” (MEASURED AT THE TIP). THIS INCUBATES A POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS SITUATION FOR YOU AND YOUR SURROUNDINGS.
