Maintenance; Cleaning The Tool - Makita UH200D Instruction Manual

• The chip receiver receives cut-off leaves and alleviates
collecting thrown-away leaves. This can be installed on
either side of the tool. (Fig. 11)
Place the chip receiver on the shear blades so that its slits
overlap with the screws on the shear blades and secure it
using two clamping nuts.
To remove the chip receiver, loosen and remove the two
clamping nuts and then take it out.

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the
battery cartridge is removed before attempting to
perform inspection or maintenance.

Cleaning the tool

Clean out the tool by wiping off dust with a dry or soap-
dipped rag.
CAUTION:
• Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or the
like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may result.
Shear blade maintenance (Fig. 12)
Smear the blade before and once per hour during
operation using machine oil or similars. (Fig. 13)
After operation, remove dust from both sides of the blade
with wired brush, wipe off it with a rag and then apply
enough low-viscosity oil, such as machine oil etc. and
spray-type lubricating oil.
CAUTION:
• Do not wash the blades in water. Failure to do so may
cause rust or damage on the tool.
NOTICE:
If the parts other than the shear blades such as the
crank are worn out, ask Makita Authorized Service
Centers for parts replacement or repairs.
Removing or installing hedge shear
blades
CAUTION:
• Before removing or installing shear blades, always be
sure that the tool is switched off and the battery
cartridge is removed.
• When replacing the shear blades, always wear gloves
without removing blade cover so that hands and face
do not directly contact the blade. Failure to do so may
cause personal injury.
NOTE:
• Do not wipe off grease from the gear and crank. Failure
to do so may cause damage to the tool.
• For specific way of removing and installing shear
blades refer to the reverse of a package for accessory
shear blades.
Removing the hedge shear blades (Fig. 14)
CAUTION:
• Install the blade cover before removing or installing the
shear blades.
Reverse the tool. (Fig. 15)
To remove the shear blades, press the locking lever and
with the locking lever pressed turn the undercover
counterclockwise until the symbol
aligned with the symbol
Take out the undercover from the tool. (Fig. 17)
Loosen two screws with a coin and similars and remove
the shear blades.
NOTE:
• Do not remove the screws. Without removing the
screws loosened, shear blades can be removed.
(Fig. 18)
Remove the crank from the shear blades.
NOTE:
• The crank may remain in the tool.
Installing the hedge shear blades (Fig. 19)
Prepare the crank, the undercover and new shear blades.
(Fig. 20)
Adjust the three detent pin position so that these three
pins are aligned with the basic alignment line on the tool
housing. (Fig. 21)
Fit the crank with its recessed part facing downward onto
the detent pins. At this time, apply a small amount of
grease to the periphery of the crank using grease that the
shear blades as optional accessory are provided with or
that remains inside gear housing. (Fig. 22)
Overlap the oval hole in the upper blade with that in the
lower one. Move the shear blades so that the hole in the
base plate of shear blades are positioned in the center of
these overlapped oval holes. (Fig. 23)
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. 24)
Turn the shear blades upside down and install it so that
pin on the tool fit in the hole in the shear blades. Fit the
bent part of the base plate of the shear blades to the
groove in the tool housing. Then make sure that the base
plate of the shear blades is set in place. (Fig. 25)
Tighten two screws with a coin or similars firmly. (Fig. 26)
Place the undercover so that the symbol
undercover is aligned with the symbol
lever. (Fig. 27)
Press the undercover down and with the undercover
pressed down turn the undercover clockwise until the
symbol on the label is aligned with the symbol
locking lever (the undercover is completely locked).
(Fig. 28)
At this time, make sure that the locking lever fits in the
groove in the undercover.
CAUTION:
• Never use the tool without installing the undercover on
it.
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.
Storage (Fig. 29)
The hook hole in the tool bottom is convenient for hanging
the tool from a nail or screw on the wall.
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.
