secure the cutting head. Pull the cutting head straight
out to remove it with turning it left and right alternately.
Removing shear blades (Fig. 5)
Remove the three screws which hold the cutting
head. When removing the second screw, be careful
not to fall the sleeve. Then the blades can be removed
easily. When removing the blades, hold the blades
and the sleeve so that they do not fall from the cutting
head.
Installing shear blades (Fig. 6)
Install the sleeve and tighten the three screws after
inserting the center blade, side blade L & R into the
cutting head. In this process, the screw heads should
be protruding 2–3mmfrom the cutting head surface.
If you will tighten the screws excessively, the cutting
head cannot be installed to the tool.

keeping the side blades flush with the workpiece
surface.
Adjusting shear blade (Fig. 9)
Adjust the side blade L so that the curl of waste
material does not contact the cutting head or the
workpiece. Use the hex wrench to loosen the three
screws which hold the cutting head. Move the side
blade L back and forth to adjust it. Then tighten the
three screws with the hex wrench.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before carrying out any work on the tool.
Lubrication (Fig. 10)
