After operation, remove dust from both sides of the
shear blades with a wired brush, wipe it off with a cloth
and then apply low-viscosity oil (machine oil, or spray-
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
blade friction and shorten the operating time per
battery charge.
Storage
Attach the blade cover to the shear blades so that the
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.
When storing the attachment separated from the power
unit, put the cap onto the end of the pipe.
