Cembre B-TC250ND Notice D'utilisation Et Entretien page 7

Before starting any work, check the battery charge (Ref. to § 2.7) and recharge if necessary,
following the instructions in the battery charger user manual.
To
replace the battery, remove it by pressing the release button (9) (Ref. to Fig. 1), then insert the
new battery, sliding it into the guides until it locks.
2.1) Head rotation
For ease of operation, the tool head can rotate through 180°, allowing the operator to work in the
most comfortable position (Ref. to Fig. 2 and 3).
Do not attempt to rotate the head when the hydraulic circuit is pressurised.
2.2) Setting
Insert the conductor between the blades, up to the desired cutting point (Ref. to Fig. 2).
To cut short pieces of steel or ACSR ropes, it is suggested to tie or wrap rope with adhesive
or duct tape around the area to be cut and at its end (Ref. to Fig. 2), so to limit the projection
of steel fragments which could damage or injure the operator.
For a running conductor, release the latch (2) and open the tool head.
With the conductor on the lower blade (4), close the tool head and fully secure the latch (2) (Ref.
to Fig. 3).
Fully retract the lower blade (4) before attempting to open the tool head (Ref. to § 2.6).
Before commencing the cutting operation ensure that the latch (2) is fully secured: partial
closure may damage the tool head.
2.3) Blade advancement
Operate the push-button (5) (Ref. to Fig. 2) to activate the motor-pump, the ram will gradually
move forward until the lower blade (4) touches the conductor.
To halt the advancement, release the push-button (5) and the motor will cut out.
Make sure the blade is exactly positioned on the desired cutting point otherwise re-open
the blade following instructions as per § 2.6 and reposition it.
2.4) Cutting
Firmly hold the tool and operate the push-button (5) to gradually move the lower blade (4) to cut
through the conductor.
When the cut is performed, release the button (5), otherwise the maximum pressure relief valve
has activated.
2.5) LED Worklights
Whilst the tool is in operation, the work area is illuminated by four high luminosity LED Worklights
that switch off automatically at the end of the cycle.
