MAINTENANCE
BLADE MAINTENANCE (FIG 3)
1. unplug the tool.
2. using the Hex key remove the three head bolts (5).
3. The left blade (3), right blade (2), center blade (1)
and the two bushings (6) will be loose.
4. Clean, replace or sharpen the blades as required.
Replace blades as a set only.
5. Reassemble by repositioning the blades and
bushings as illustrated. Replace the head bolts and
tighten them securely.
6. Test the product to be sure that it is working properly.
7. The left and right blades are slotted. They can be adjusted to
change the direction of the curl of waste material. To adjust:
a) unplug the tool.
b) Loosen all three head bolts.
c) Make a slight adjustment to the left or right blade as needed.
d) Tighten the head bolts.
e) Test the direction of the waste curl and repeat the steps above as needed.
NOTE:
If the head bolts are over-tightened, then the center blade will not move freely enough, causing
premature wear, or possibly preventing the tool from operating. If the head bolts are not tight enough, the tool
will not make a smooth cut in the material.
CLEANING
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of
commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
WArNING:
products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact with plastic parts. Chemicals can
damage, weaken or destroy plastic which may result in serious personal injury.
Electric tools used on fiberglass material, wallboard, spackling compounds, or plaster are subject to accelerated
wear and possible premature failure because the fiberglass chips and grindings are highly abrasive to bearings,
brushes, commutators, etc. Consequently, we do not recommended using this tool for extended work on these
types of materials. However, if you do work with any of these materials, it is extremely important to clean the tool
using compressed air.
LUBRICATION
Tool should be lubricated every 60 days to 6 months as needed.
To lubricate, remove shear head from power unit. Put a few drops of heavy oil on bearing assembly. Also grease or
oil the outside surface of the bearing ring.
Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based
