13.0  TROUBLESHOOTING

Refer to the Cutter Troubleshooting Charts (Tables 2  

and 3) for lists of common cutter symptoms, possible 

causes and solutions.
For repair service, contact an Enerpac authorized service 

center. Inspection and repairs should be performed 

only by an Enerpac authorized service center or other 

qualified hydraulic tool service facility.

12.0  STORAGE

12.1  Storage Guidelines

If the cutter will be stored for an extended period of time:
•  Disconnect cutter from AC power supply.
•  Thoroughly clean the cutter. Remove any loose 

dust or dirt. Dry the cutter after completing cleaning 

procedures.

•  Lubricate the cutter metal surfaces using a clean oil-

moistened rag to provide added corrosion protection 

during storage.

•  Store the cutter in its plastic storage case, in a clean 

and dry location, accessible only to authorized 

personnel.

12.2   Return to Use (after storage)

Before using the cutter after an extended period of 

storage or inactivity, perform the following steps:
•  Check the hydraulic oil level and add oil if low. Refer to 

instructions in Section 10.5.2.

•  Check for oil leaks. Make repairs as required.
•  Remove any traces of oil (if present) from the 

handle/grip and other parts that can be gripped.

•  Remove any oil from cutter metal surfaces.
•  Check that the electrical power cord and plug are 

undamaged and in good condition.

•  Verify that the cutter housing (including the electric 

motor) is undamaged.

•  Check for any missing, worn or improperly installed 

parts.

•  Check that all screws, nuts, bolts and other fasteners 

are tight. Replace, repair or tighten components as 

needed.

•  Connect cutter to AC power supply. Cycle the piston 

several times to test for proper operation before 

placing the cutter back into service.
