Removing or installing shear blade
CAUTION:
• Before removing or installing shear blade, always be
sure that the tool is switched off and the battery

applied in the shear blade driving area.
Remove the under cover. (Fig. 20)

Set the crank at the angle as shown in the figure with a
slotted bit screwdriver. (Fig. 22)
Remove two screws from the shear blades and the shear
blade unit will be taken out. (Fig. 23)
CAUTION:

Installing the shear blade
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. 24)
Overlap the oval hole in the upper blade with that in the
lower one. (Fig. 25)
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. 26)
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. 27)
Check the crank for smooth turn with a slotted bit
screwdriver. (Fig. 28)
Install the plate, under cover on the tool. Tighten the
screw firmly.

there is a poor fit between the blades and crank. Redo

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. 30)
Insert the top end of slotted bit screwdriver into the notch
in the tool and remove the holder cap cover by lifting it up.
(Fig. 31)
Use a 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.

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. 32)
