Set the crank at the angle as shown in the figure with a
slotted screwdriver. (Fig. 21)
Remove two screws from the shear blades and the shear
blade unit will be taken out. (Fig. 22)
CAUTION:
• Return the gear to the original position in such a
manner as it was installed if it should be taken away by
mistake.
Installing the shear blades
Prepare 4 removed screws (For under cover), 2 screws
(For shear blade), plate, under cover, and new shear
blades.
Adjust the crank position as shown in the figure. At this
time, apply some grease provided with new shear blades
to the periphery of the crank. (Fig. 23)
Overlap the oval hole in the upper blade with that in the
lower one. (Fig. 24)
Take out the blade cover from the old shear blades and fit
it onto the new ones for easy handling during the
replacement of blades. (Fig. 25)
Place the new shear blades on the tool so that the oval
holes in the shear blades fit onto the crank. Overlap the
holes in the shear blades with the screw holes in the tool
and then secure them with two screws. (Fig. 26)
Check the crank for smooth turn with a slotted
screwdriver. (Fig. 27)
Install the plate, under cover on the tool. Tighten the
screw firmly.
NOTE:
• There is no distinction between the top and bottom of
the plate.
Remove the blade cover and then turn on the tool to
check it for proper movement.
NOTE:
• When the shear blades does not operate properly,
there is a poor fit between the blades and crank. Redo
from the beginning.
Replacing carbon brushes (Fig. 28)
Remove and check the carbon brushes regularly. Replace
when they wear down to the limit mark. Keep the carbon
brushes clean and free to slip in the holders. Both carbon
brushes should be replaced at the same time. Use only
identical carbon brushes. (Fig. 29)
Insert the top end of slotted screwdriver into the notch in
the tool and remove the holder cap cover by lifting it up.
(Fig. 30)
Use a slotted screwdriver to remove the brush holder
caps. Take out the worn carbon brushes, insert the new
ones and secure the brush holder caps.
Reinstall the holder cap cover on the tool.
Storage
The hook hole in the bottom of the blade cover is
convenient for hanging the tool from a nail or screw on the
wall. (Fig. 31)
Remove the battery cartridge and put the blade cover on
the shear blades so that the blades are not exposed.
Store the tool out of the reach of children carefully.
Store the tool in the place not exposed to water and rain.
To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs,
any other maintenance or adjustment should be
performed by Makita Authorized Service Centers, always
