OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Blade inspection
Before using the tool, check the blades for wear. Dull,
worn blades will result in poor shearing action, and
the service life of the tool will be shortened.
Rotating or replacing blades
Important:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before rotating or replacing the blades.
Both the upper and lower blades have four cutting
edges on each side (the front and back). When the
cutting edge becomes dull, rotate both the upper and
the lower blades 90° to expose new cutting edges.
When all eight edges are dull on both the upper and
lower blades, replace both blades with new ones.
Each time blades are rotated or replaced, proceed as
follows.
Remove the blade securing bolts with the hex wrench
provided and then rotate or replace the blades.
(Fig.1)
Some tools have one or more thin washers between
ENB011-2
the upper blade and the blade holder. Be sure to use
the same number of thin washers when reassem-
bling. (Note: No thin washers are used for the lower
blade.) (Fig. 2)
To secure the upper blade, tighten the upper blade
securing bolt with the hex wrench. Press up on the
upper blade while tightening it. (Fig. 3)
After securing the upper blade, be sure that there is
no gap left between the upper blade and the bevelled
surface of the blade holder. (Fig. 4)
When installing the lower blade onto the yoke, the
lower blade should be pressed against the yoke so as
to be contacting the bevelled portions A and B of the
yoke and the tip C of the lower blade positioning
screw while you tighten the lower blade securing bolt.
There must be no clearance between A, B and C
during installation. (Fig. 5 & 6)
Note:
The lower blade positioning screw is factory-
assembled. Do not tamper with it.
