Installing cutting head (Fig. 7)
CAUTION:
Secure the cutting head firmly. Otherwise it can rotate
during operation and can cause serious injury.
Insert the cutting head into the tool with turning it left
and right alternately. Then tighten the three screws
with the hex wrench.
Operation (Fig. 8)
CAUTION:
Edges and chips of the workpiece are sharp. Wear
gloves. Otherwise it can cause injury.
Secure the workpiece firmly. Move the tool forward
keeping the side blades flush with the workpiece
surface.
Adjusting shear blade (Fig. 9)
Adjust the side blade L so that the curl of waste
material does not contact the cutting head or the
workpiece. Use the hex wrench to loosen the three
screws which hold the cutting head. Move the side
blade L back and forth to adjust it. Then tighten the
three screws with the hex wrench.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before carrying out any work on the tool.
Lubrication (Fig. 10)
Before operation, lubricate the contact point of the
center blade and the side blades R/L. And, also
lubricate the point of the center blade near the cutting
head. To keep good cutting performance, use lubri-
cant from time to time during operation.
To maintain product safety and reliability, repairs,
maintenance or adjustment should be carried out by a
Makita Authorized Service Center.
