Cleaning The Tool - Makita XHU10SM1 Instruction Manual

Cleaning the tool

Clean the tool by wiping off dust with a dry cloth or one
dipped in soapy water and wrung out.
NOTICE:
Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner,
alcohol or the like. Discoloration, deformation or
cracks may result.
Shear blade maintenance

apply low-viscosity oil (machine oil, or spray-type lubri-
cating oil) to the shear blades.

type lubricating oil) to the shear blades.

NOTICE:
Do not wash the shear blades in water.
Doing so may cause rust or damage to the tool.
NOTICE:
Dirt and corrosion cause excessive
friction of the shear blades and shorten the oper-
ating time per battery charge.
Storage
The hook hole in the tool bottom is convenient for hang-
ing the tool from a nail or screw on the wall.
Attach the blade cover to the shear blades so that the
shear blades are not exposed. Store the tool out of the
reach of children. Store the tool in a place not exposed
to moisture or rain.
