Operation Manual

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.
