Battery charger
For information on the function and operation of the battery charger and the rechargeable batteries, please consult the battery charger operating instructions.

Brief description of the press device

Automatic press cycle (Fig. 1)

The device features an automatic press cycle. This ensures that the pressing operation is always completed. For safety reasons, the automatic press cycle only switches on when the pressing operation has started, i.e. when the fitting starts to be shaped. After the automatic press cycle has been triggered, the green LED (2) goes out and the pressing operation runs automatically. The pressing operation can then only be stopped by pressing and holding release button (4). After the pressing operation has been completed, the motor automatically switches off and the green LED lights up again.
If start button (1) is released before the automatic press cycle begins, the piston in the press device moves back to its starting position. The pressing operation will not have been completed. The pressing operation must be triggered again.

Release button (Fig.1)
The pressing operation can be stopped at any time by pressing and holding release button (4). The piston in the press device then returns to its starting position.

Rechargeable battery (ACO 202 only)

Removing the battery(Fig.2)
Push in (1) the two release buttons (A) and then remove the battery (2).

Inserting the battery (Fig. 3)
Slide the battery onto the device as illustrated until it clicks into place.

Battery charge indicator (Fig. 2)
The battery charge is displayed when button (B) is pressed. The number of LEDs lit up denotes the battery charge. One flashing LED indicates a maximum power reserve of 10%. The battery must be charged soon.
If the battery is inserted in the press device while the battery charge is being checked, the last pressing operation must have been completed at least 1 minute prior to this. Otherwise the display will be inaccurate.

ACO202 and battery
Feature of the press device after extended periods out of use or when changing the battery:
If the press device is out of use for approx. 30 minutes or the battery is reinserted, it switches to SLEEP mode. The LED is no longer illuminated. Press the start button briefly to start the press device.

Feature of the press device when the battery is empty:
When a pressing operation begins, a check is made to determine whether the battery charge is sufficient to complete the pressing operation. If this is not the case the device does not start.
The green LED flashes.

If the green LED flashes following a pressing operation, the pressing operation was carried out correctly. The battery must be recharged prior to the next pressing operation.

Commissioning and operation

CAUTION! Danger of crushing!
There is a risk of crushed fingers and hands.
Therefore:

• Keep body parts and foreign objects away from the press jaws during the pressing operation.
