6.4 Close device (cutting)
Turn rotary knob upwards and start the tool.
The direction/operation process of the tool can be changed even when the tool is activated.
6.5 Safety switch off
If the max. working pressure is exceeded only the hydraulic pump is automatically switched to "idle"
(this can be deduced audibly), but the pressure in the system is maintained. In this case the tool
arms don’t move any more. Reposition the tool and start working again at a more suitable location.
6.6 Charging the LKE 50 / LKE 51
LKE 50 / LKE 51 is charged by connecting the LKE charger to the 24 V socket (5) on the tool. The
black cable (order no. 84150/7022) has to be used for this purpose. Once the charger is switched
on the charging procedure starts automatically (see also charger operation manual). During
charging the charge indication panel works even if the tool's main switch is in the "off“ position. This
enables the progress of charging to be checked visually.
The charging procedure may be interrupted at any time, if necessary. Just switch the charger off
and disconnect it from the tool.
Attention: Do not operate the LKE 50 / LKE 51 while it’s being charged !
When the charger is switched off or disconnected from its electric supply, the LKE 50 / LKE 51 (or
the external accumulator) must be disconnected from the charger. Otherwise the LKE 50 / LKE 51
(or the external accumulator) would be slowly discharged.
7 Operation of LKE 70
7.1 Commissioning
Prior to commissioning the LKE 70 has to be charged (see also item 7.9).
7.2 Operation LKE 70
The tool is operated by the integrated or external accumulator, electrically driven motor and
the hydraulic pump.
The LKE 70 is working only when the main switch (2) is switched on. With the main switch in position
"I" also the LED’s of the accu charge indication are lit. The LKE 70 is now ready for operation.
7.3 Opening of tool arms
The LKE 70 motor starts automatically when the star grip (1) is turned to either „opening“ or
„closing“. Turning the star grip to the right means causes the arms to open (= spreading).
7.4 Closing of tool arms
The tool arms are closed (= cutting) by turning the star grip (1) to the left.
