6.1 Delivery and Handling

The cutter is housed inside a protective storage case 

which contains additional room for two batteries. If 

ordered with the cutter, the batteries and battery charger 

will be included in a separate package.

 

NOTICE

Always remove the battery from the cutter 

before placing the cutter in the case. Always store the 

cutter and batteries inside the case when not in use.
The cutter is designed for handheld operation. During 

periods when cutting is not in progress, place the cutter 

on a stable and level surface capable of supporting the 

combined weight of the cutter and battery. Refer to 

Sections 2.2 and 2.4 for weights.

6.2 Before Startup

•  Be sure that the shipment includes all components 

and that there is no obvious damage.

•  Read the following sections of this manual to become 

familiar with cutter features and safety devices.

•  Fully charge the battery and install it on the tool. Refer 

to Section 7.0 for battery information. For charger 

operating instructions, refer to the separate battery 

and charger manual (published by D

NOTICE

Be sure that cutter piston is advanced as far 

as possible before removing oil reservoir cap in the 

next step. 

Oil leakage and improper operation may 

result if this instruction is not followed.

•  Advance the piston as far as possible, remove battery 

from cutter and check the cutter hydraulic oil level. 

Add oil if oil level is low. Refer to Section 10.5.2 for 

detailed instructions.
