Installing or removing the chip
receiver
Optional accessory
CAUTION:
When installing or removing the
chip receiver, always wear gloves so that your
hands do not directly contact the shear blades.

the chip receiver is installed on the tool. Before
carrying or storing the tool, uninstall the chip
receiver, and then install the blade cover to avoid
blade exposure.

receiver with the arrow marks on the shear blades, and
then press the chip receiver against the shear blades so
