Device-specific Information:
Do not reach in between the blade arms!
Do not cut electric wires!
Cutting objects under tension (shock absorbers, springs, steering links) is prohibited since the cut-
off parts of these objects might jerk away unpredictably which exposes the operator and other
persons to a high risk of injury.
Hardened objects such as spring steel must not be cut.
Attention!
A „deep“ dischargement of the accumulator must be avoided, i. e do not further operate the tool
when the motor is running considerably slower than normal. In any case never try to further operate
the tool once the motor has stopped. This would reduce the lifetime of the accumulator.
5 Applications
The LKE has been exclusively designed for rescue purposes. As it is operated without any
additional power pack it is ideal for first intervention cars of rescue teams, police and civil defence.
Its purpose is to free injured people after traffic accidents by cutting door hinges, door struts and
roof struts, but they can also be used to open car doors.
In general, objects can be cut, spread or moved. In any case the objects to be manipulated must
be secured with massive prop-ups and / or supports.
The LKE has to be protected against humidity and moisture. During operation only blade arms can
be used under water.
External Accus (only LKE 50 / LKE 51 / LKE 70)
If more capacity than offered by the integrated accu is necessary, reserve accus can be
plugged to the tool with the charging cable (part of the charger set).
LKE 55
The LKE 55 operates with a quick-change accu that can be swapped at any time.
6 Operation of LKE 50 / LKE 51

6.2 Operation of LKE 50 / LKE 51
The tool is operated by the integrated or external accumulator, electrically driven motor and the
hydraulic pump.
