MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the controller is switched off and the
connection cord is disconected from the shears.
Blade maintenance (Fig. 20 & 21)
NOTE:
Before and after operation, check the shear blades care-
fully.
After operation, clean off the blades with a stiff brush.
Then wipe the blades with a cloth and coat them with
machine oil.
CAUTION:
Failure to perform blade maintenance may cause exces-
sive blade friction and shorten the operating time per bat-
tery charge.
Sharpening blades
Upper shear blade
Apply the flat surface of the diamond file to the blade
edge. Push the diamond file in the direction of the arrow
to sharpen along the entire blade edge. Maintain the
same flat contact with the file consistently along the
entire blade edge. (Fig. 22)
Apply the flat surface of the diamond file lightly to the
reverse side of the blade. Move the diamond file in the
direction of the arrow to remove burrs. (Fig. 23)
Lower shear blade
Apply the round surface of the diamond file to the blade
edge. Push the diamond file in the direction of the arrow
to sharpen along the entire blade edge. (Fig. 24)
Apply the flat surface of the diamond file lightly to the
opposite side of the blade. Move the diamond file in the
direction of the arrow to remove burrs. (Fig. 25)
To maintain product safety and reliability, repairs, mainte-
nance or adjustment should be carried out by Makita
