OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
3.1
CHARGING THE BATTERY
1. Connect the power cord to the Charger 144-CHR-LI and to an AC
outlet. The LED Lamp blinks in Red [STAND BY]
NOTE: The rated input voltage for this unit is 100V-240V. Use of
voltages over 260V will result in damage to the charger.
2. Insert the Battery rmly into the charger.
The LED Lamp lights in green [CHARGING].
NOTE: Do not short-circuit the Charger by placing foreign materials
in the contacts on Charger, as this will damage the Charger.
3. Charging takes approximately 25 minutes (80% capacity) and
45 minutes (100% capacity).
When charging is nished, the LED Lamp lights in orange
[COMPLETION].
NOTE: If the LED Lamp displays solid red [HIGH TEMPERATURE],
remove the Battery from the Charger and allow it to cool down
before trying to charge it again.
4. When the battery will no longer charge or hold a charge, the LED
Lamp blinks quickly in red [IMPOSSIBLE TO CHARGE].
5. When the charger is out of order, the LED Lamp does not light up
even if AC power is supplied.
NOTE: Do not power the Charger with a portable generator.

COMPRESSION CYCLES
1. To attach the Battery, slide it into the base of the Tool
until it stops and the Latches engage.
2. After inserting the Battery, check that it is securely in
place by pulling it gently without pressing the Latches.
3. To detach the Battery, pull out the Battery while pressing
the Latches.

This guide indicates the number of compression cycles that
the HMC5750-LI can be expected to perform when the
battery is fully charged. These gures are approximate and will
vary according to the charging and other operating conditions,
such as temperature, humidity, and battery condition.

SWITCH OPERATIONS
1. The indenting nibs extend when the Trigger is depressed
and stops when the Trigger is released.
2. To retract the indenting nibs, depress the Release Button.
The indenting nibs continue to retract while the Release

COMPRESSION OPERATION
1. Not all connectors are suitable for dieless tool applications.
Check your connector manufacturer recommendations on
using a dieless compression tool with the connector and
cable being used.
2. Retract the indenting nibs by pressing the release button.
3. Make sure the head is closed in the latched position and
that the head latching pin is fully inserted. Position the
connector, and center it between the indenting nibs. Activate
the trigger and advance the nibs so the connector is held in
place, but not yet deformed. Check connector for correct
positioning.
4. Insert the cable into the connector and activate the trigger
until the compression is completed. The LED indicator
(Step 2.1) on either side of the tool will show GREEN when a
complete compression is made. A RED indicator light will
show if the compression is incomplete, due to early release
of the trigger or a low battery. An ORANGE indicator will
show if the battery is getting low, but the compression is still
completed.
5. Press release button to retract the indenting nibs and
remove the connector from the tool. If necessary, pull the
head latching pin to unlatch the head for easier removal of
the connector from the tool.

WARNING
Pinch point hazard. Compressing identing
nibs at high force can cause severe personal
injury. Keep all body parts away from moving
parts of the tool during operation.
3.6
MAINTENANCE & INSPECTION
1. Very little maintenance is required to ensure that the tool is kept in good working condition.
2. To ensure smooth operation and prevent rust, store the tool in a cool dry area. Ensure that moving parts are lubricated regularly.
3. When the plastic housing becomes dirty, clean it with a soft soaped cloth.
4. Dust, sand, and dirt are a danger for any hydraulic device. After each use, the tool should be wiped with a clean cloth taking care
to remove any residue, especially close to the movable parts.
5. If the tool is maintained regularly, it should provide you with trouble free service.
NOTE: Always remove the battery pack from the unit before replacing parts or maintenance.

IMPORTANT OPERATING PRECAUTIONS
4.1
PRECAUTIONS FOR COMPRESSION TOOL
1. Not all connectors are suitable for dieless tool
applications. Check your connector manufacturer
recommendations on using a dieless compression tool.
2. Never operate the tool without a connector and cable in
place.
3. Always point the tool away from other people.
4. If the tool is stored for an extended period at a
temperature of less than 25º F (-5º C), the tool should be
allowed to return to room temperature to ensure smooth
operation. Use the tool only after it has been at room
temperature for 1 hour.
5. Do not drop the tool. Dropping the tool may damage the
hydraulic circuit and cause malfunctions.
6. Keep the head and indenting nibs clean and free of
debris. Solvents can be used to clean the head but
should not be used on the plastic body. Use soap &
water to clean the body.
4.3
1. The LED lamp lights up green and remains lit when the
unit starts charging a battery. The indicator turns orange
when charging is completed.
2. This unit is for charging battery 144-BAT-LI only. Do not
use the charger for any other devices.
3. Allow battery cartridges to cool before charging. Allow at
least 15 minutes between charges when charging several
batteries in succession.
4. Charge batteries at an ambient temperature of 50-95
degrees F (10-35 degrees C). Charging time is
approximately 25 minutes for 80% capacity and 45
minutes for 100% capacity.
5. Never short circuit the output contacts.
6. Do not expose the charger to water, oil or solvents.
7. Do not disassemble, modify, drop or otherwise abuse
the charger.
PRECAUTIONS FOR THE CHARGER
4.2
PRECAUTIONS FOR THE BATTERY PACK
1. Do not short circuit the contacts or expose the battery to
water, oil or solvents.
2. Do not disassemble or attempt to repair the battery or
dispose of in a re.
3. Do not drop or otherwise abuse the battery.
4. Do not leave the battery in locations where it will be
exposed to a temperature greater than 104 degrees F (40
degrees C) for an extended period.
5. The battery has a limited life. When the capacity
becomes about 1/2 that of the original capacity, the
battery should be replaced.
6. If the battery is stored without being charged, natural
drainage will cause the power to be reduced. The battery
should be charged every 3 months if not in use regularly.
