Battery-powered combi tools are specially designed rescue equipment for cutting and
spreading vehicle body parts. They are used to rescue trapped or enclosed accident victims.
The combi tool uses include cutting door and roof beams, columns and sills, as well as opening
doors, lifting vehicle parts and loads, and squeezing pipes and tie bars.
Because the appliances are equipped with an internal electro-hydraulic drive, they are
not linked to a power unit and
can therefore be used in hard-to-reach locations.
The movement speed of the shear blades (arms) is affected by moving the rocker switch
on the control handle with greater or lesser force. The maximum force is achieved only when
the rocker switch is on full activation.

Because the appliances are equipped with an internal electrohydraulic drive, they are not linked
to a power unit and can therefore be used in hard-to-reach locations.
The rescue rams are an addition to the spreader and can be used, for example, if the spreading
arm's spreading distance is no longer adequate.
The movement speed of the ram is affected by moving the rocker switch on the control handle
with greater or lesser force. The maximum pushing force is achieved only when the rocker
switch is on full activation.

Battery-powered spreaders are specially designed rescue appliances for spreading, pressing and
pulling. They are used to rescue trapped or enclosed accident victims. The spreaders are mainly
suitable for opening doors, and for lifting vehicles and other movable loads.
Because the appliances are equipped with an internal electrohydraulic drive, they are not linked
to a power unit and can therefore be used in hard-to-reach locations.
The movement speed of the spreading arms is affected by moving the rocker switch on the
control handle with greater or lesser force. The maximum spreading force is achieved only
when the rocker switch is on full activation.
STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION | 27
Drive
Pump
The hydraulic pressure is generated by a high pressure hydraulic pump (in the pump unit).
The pump is a radial piston pump with 3-4 pump elements. The pressure is applied directly
to the working cylinder, which renders the connection lines redundant.
Oil tank
The oil volume for operation is taken from a tank. The entire
hydraulic system is therefore completely closed and free of air. Any possible
volume expansion caused by heat is compensated for by the tank.
Hydraulic oil
All battery-powered appliances should use a special hydraulic oil for rescue equipment
in accordance with WN61000137. The oil does not usually need to be changed, but we
recommend changing it after 10 years. An oil change can only be carried out by factory
servicing at WEBER RESCUE Systems.
CAUTION!
Do not attempt to carry out repairs on the hydraulic system!
The complete hydraulic system is designed as a closed circuit and must therefore be
completely free of air. For this reason, do not attempt to carry out repairs on the drive, to
ensure that no air can enter the system!
4.3 Electrical supply, using a combi tool as an example
Connect the battery (1) to the rescue appliance (2). Push the battery in on the rails (3)
provided until it locks in place. To release, press the pushbuttons on both sides of the battery
simultaneously (4). Then pull the battery upwards and out.

STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION | 29
Pressing the rocker switch on the control handle harder or less hard adjusts the movement
speed exactly. The maximum cutting, expansion or pushing force is only obtained by pressing
the rocker switch down completely.
Closing the cutter / Opening the spreaders / Extending the rescue ram
The tools' main direction of movement is triggered by pressing the rocker switch to the left with
your index finger (grooved side of the rocker switch).
Opening the cutter / Closing the spreaders / Retracting the rescue ram
The opposite direction is triggered by pressing the control rocker to the right with your thumb
(curved side of the rocker switch).

REPLACING BLADE INSERTS (PLUS)| 33
NOTE!
The blade inserts should not be reground, simply cleaning off any soil is
recommended. The change of blades for the RSU shears technology works
identically but both clamping pins must be removed.
Procedure:
When the blade insert is being changed,
the battery must be removed from the shear.
The shear blades are wide open (see Fig. 1) but
the shear is not under load. This means that
the shear is not completely open or closed. Now
the blade insert can be changed on the shear
blade with the smooth surface, using the punch
to knock out the tensioning pin downwards
(see Fig. 1 - Knocking out the tensioning pin).
Fig. 1
Fig. 2
Carefully remove dirt and grime before inserting
the new blade insert. (see Figure 3 - Removing
dirt). When inserting, make sure that the blade
insert does not tilt. To do this, approach with the
rounded side of the insert first.
Fig. 3
If the blade insert cannot be inserted by hand,
it is advisable to use lubricant and a soft-face
hammer. (see Fig. 4 - Inserting the new blade
insert)
Fig. 6
Fig. 5
STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION | 35
The collar studs on the spreader tips can be pressed out of the spreader arms but have a
safeguard device to prevent them being lost and so they cannot be separated from the tips.
The SP 40 C and SP 44 AS spreader tips are not secured with removable collar studs but rather
with a tensioning pin that must be knocked out when the tips are being changed. The chain set
can be fastened in a separate hole without having to remove the tips beforehand.
CAUTION!
Ensure that the door opening tips always have full-surface contact!
If the optionally available door opening tips are attached to the combi
tool or spreader, they must always be inserted into the gap while ensuring
full-surface contact. Furthermore, reposition as often as possible to insert
the teeth at least 20 mm into the gap. Otherwise, the tip may break when
the combi tool is fully loaded.
5 Applications
WARNING!
Never reach between the blade or spreader arms!
WARNING!
During any work with battery tools, tensioned parts can break or fly off,
thereby endangering
people.
Fig. 1
APPLICATIONS | 37
Always cut at a right angle to the cutting material, in order to prevent damage to the blades.
Also, the tips of the shear blades must not be more than 5 mm apart during the cutting process.
If this value is exceeded, the cutting process must be cancelled and then started again.
CAUTION!
Do not sever any parts with loose ends, as this can result in personal injury
due to parts flying off.
ATTENTION!
When cutting high-strength vehicle body parts, such as shock absorbers,
hinges or steering columns, the shear blades (arms) may cause severe
damage.
If the shear blades of the combi unit are now moved apart, the RZM also opens.
NOTE!
The use of the RZM in combination with the combi unit
SPS 480 MK 2 is not permitted.
ATTENTION!
While pressing with the RZM, the combi unit moves in the
direction of the vehicle. Therefore, do not stand
in the direct working area of the combi unit!
5.4 Spreading (spreaders, combi tools)
The spreading functions can be used to open doors, lift vehicles and other movable loads,
push vehicle parts away, and squeeze pipes and tie bars. For this, the vehicle must be stably
positioned and supported.
To prevent any sliding during spreading, the arms and tips are fluted inside and out. Spreader
tips also have spikes for particularly good grip. Slipping is additionally prevented through early
repositioning of the spreader tip.
APPLICATIONS | 39
For this, the chains must be tightly tensioned and must be tensed only in the pulling direction.
To tension the chain, only one lock can be pressed in, so that the chain can be pulled through
the bracket.
If the range of movement is insufficient, tension chains or other means must be used so that
the appliance can be reopened and the chain tensioned again.
ATTENTION!
Store the pulling chains with chain locks installed approx. 10 – 20 cm from
the end. Check the chain before every use. Check that the weight does not
stress the tip of the hook, but lies in the middle of the hook instead.
» You must not undertake any repairs yourself.
» Never load chains greater than the load capacity indicated.
» Do not shock-load.
» Do not galvanise or paint the chains.
» Do not shorten the chains by knotting.
» Do not apply heat to the chains.
» nly use the chains and accessories between temperatures of – 40°C
O
and +200°C.
» hen undertaking maintenance work on the chains, the Accident
W
Prevention Regulations and the requirements of DIN EN 818-7 and
DIN 685-5 must be observed.
» Chains must only be used for lashing. Lifting loads is not permitted.
Chains may not be used again if:
» They are deformed, cracked or exhibit corrosion pitting.
» T he diameter of the metal forming the chain link has reduced by 10% of
the nominal thickness.
» An individual chain link has been permanently stretched.
» An individual link has been enlarged by more than 2%.
» T he internal chain pitch over a measuring distance of 11 chain links has
increased by more than 2%.
ATTENTION!
Material to be squeezed can suddenly spring away.
Do not remain in the working area of the spreading and combi tools!
APPLICATIONS | 41
The load being lifted must be constantly monitored (tipping, rolling away or changing position).
Furthermore, the lifted load must be immediately propped up and supported in a suitable way.
Avoid remaining beneath loads!
Under special conditions, rescue rams can also be used to lift loads. When doing so, make espe-
cially sure that the ram is placed as centrally as possible and at a right angle beneath the load.
NOTE!
Before a rescue ram is used, the attachment point must be supported so
that force develops in the desired
direction.
NOTE!
Complete lifting of loads is not permitted with rescue appliances.
WARNING!
Do not throw used batteries into domestic waste or into the fire. Your specialist
dealer can dispose of your old battery in an environmentally friendly manner.

WARNING!
Important safety instructions concerning the battery and the charger.
6.5 Li-Ion-battery
For safety reasons, the batteries are discharged when they are delivered (air transport
regulation). The battery must be charged completely before first use.
If the battery is not used for a longer period of time, it switches to idle mode. The battery must
be re-activated (charged) in order to be used again.
The charging status can be checked by pressing the button on the battery (see illustration).
The battery can remain in the battery tool for this but the battery tool must be switched off at
least 1 minute before (otherwise the indication will be inaccurate). The number of
illuminated LEDs indicates the charging status.
As a matter of principle, the following applies: If the battery tool does not work after inserting
the battery, plug the battery into the charger to check it. The indications on the battery and
the charger then provide information on the battery condition.
You can continue to work with reduced power at lower temperatures. To ensure that the
appliance is ready to use, the battery must be fully
charged after use.
BATTERY AND CHARGER | 45
If the battery is too hot or too cold when it is inserted into the charger (red LED flashes)
the charging process begins automatically as soon as the battery has reached the correct
charging temperature (0°C - 65°C). The maximum charging current flows when the Li-Ion
battery temperature is between 0 and 65°C.
The charging time is between 1 min and 60 min depending on how full the battery was
previously (for 3.0 Ah). The charging time for the 5.0 Ah battery is between 1 min and 90 min.
Once the battery is fully charged, the LED on the charger switches from red to green.
The battery does not have to be removed from the charger once charging is complete.
The battery can remain in the charger permanently. This cannot over-charge it and so it is
always ready for use.
If both LEDs flash alternately, either the battery is not inserted properly, or there is a fault on
the battery or the charger. For safety reasons, take the charger and the battery out of operation
immediately and have them checked by an authorised customer service location.
Flashing alternately!
If the power unit is overloaded, all LEDs flash 4x. To continue charging, unplug the power unit
and plug it back in.
Flashing simultaneously!
6.7 Maintenance
If the mains connection line is damaged, it must be replaced by a customer service location.
Only use approved accessories and approved spare parts. If a replacement description is not
provided for a component, have it replaced by an authorised customer service location.
Information Explanation
Charging cycles Around 1000
Partial discharge No effect as the battery always holds the capacity until it
is discharged.
Partial discharge and Each recharging process is considered a complete
subsequent recharge charging cycle, which is why the battery should be used
until it is fully discharged.
