Cutting, Spreading, Pulling, Squeezing; Safety Notes - Idex HURST eDRAULIC SC 258 E2 Instruction Manual

Note on the operation of the eDRAULIC with a rechargeable battery:
If the rechargeable battery remains in the eDRAULIC device with the main switch on, but
without activating the star grip, the rechargeable battery will switch itself off after some time
(approximately 10 - 60 minutes, depending on the type of battery). If the star grip is then
activated, the eDRAULIC device will not switch itself on.
In order to resume work with the device, the eDRAULIC device must first be switched off at
the mains and then switched on again.
Alternatively, the capacity display on the rechargeable battery can be activated or the battery
may be briefly unplugged and replugged again.
