Always be sure that the tool is
switched off and the battery cartridge is removed
before attempting to perform inspection or
maintenance.
CAUTION:
Wear safety gloves when handling
the shear blade. Otherwise it may result in personal
injury.
NOTICE:
Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner,
alcohol or the like. Discoloration, deformation or
cracks may result.
To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY,
repairs, any other maintenance or adjustment should
be performed by Makita Authorized or Factory Service
Centers, always using Makita replacement parts.
Shear blade maintenance

Failure to perform blade maintenance
may cause excessive blade friction and shorten
the operating time per battery charge.
Before the operation or once per hour during operation,
apply low-viscosity oil (machine oil, or spray-type lubri-
cating oil) to the shear blades.
