Head adjustment (Fig. D+E)
• The head of the tool can be freely adjusted (rotating
360°), to assist the operator to locate and cut.
• To adjust the head (1):
∙ Fix the head by holding the side handle (2) with
one hand and use the other hand to turn the
frame handle (3).
Pressure relief valve (Fig. F)
• The pressure relief valve has two different posi-
tions.
∙ ON: The piston operates and automatically
returns when a cut has been completed.
∙ OFF: If the working stroke of the piston is inter-
rupted it will not return automatically. Open the
pressure relief valve to return the piston to its
original position.
Operating TJEP HC-18B
• Place the material between the two blades so that
the blades are perpendicular to the work piece axle
(Fig. G).
• Before cutting / pressing the trigger (HC-8), press
the work piece as far in-between the blades as pos-
sible – still making sure, that the blades are perpen-
dicular to the work piece axle. If the work piece is
placed at the distal end of the blades, it may cause
the blades to crack during the cutting process.
• Press and hold the trigger (HC-8). The motor will
now start.
• Grasp the tool tightly so that is does not shake dur-
ing cutting. Failure to do so will shorten the service
life of the blades and cause damage.
• Hold the trigger (HC-8) until the cut is completed
and the jaw begins to return to default position.
Then release the trigger.
Operating TJEP HCS-20B
• Place the material between the two blades so that
the blades are perpendicular to the work piece axle
(Fig. H).
• The tool is equipped with a limit screw (3) (Fig. I).
Adjust the limit screw to the diameter of the work
piece. Failure to do so can cause the work piece to
fall out of the jaws and may cause an injury.
• Press and hold the trigger (HCS-7). The motor will
now start.
• Hold the trigger (HC-7) until the cut is completed
and the jaw begins to return to default position.
Then release the trigger.
Removing and replacing blades
• Replace the blade when it has a roll blade, gap,
crack, notch or wear.
∙ Note; Blades cannot be regrinded
∙ Note; Blades can be turned to prolong life span.
∙ Worn blades will overheat the motor
• Only use original blades. If the blade is repeatedly
used, ensure that it is not worn, cracked, or dam-
aged.
• Remove all debris and dirt from the blades and
components. Debris and dirt can cause unexpected
accidents during cutting.
• Lock the tool and remove the battery before re-
placing the blade to prevent serious personal injury
caused by accidental operation.
• Remove blades for HC-18B (Fig. J):
∙ Remove the hex screws (1+2) on the blade seat
(4). Remove the blade (3).
∙ Remove the hex screws (1+2) on the mobile head
(5). Remove the blade (3).
• Replace blades for HC-18B (Fig. J):
∙ lnstall the blade (4) into the blade groove of the
mobile head (3) and install the blade in place.
∙ Screw the hex screw (2) into the mobile head
(3) and make the hex screw contact the blade to
prevent it from loosening.
∙ Screw the hex screw (1) into the blade seat and
tighten it.
∙ lnstall the blade (4) into the blade groove of the
blade seat (5) and install the blade in place.
∙ Screw the hex screw (2) into the blade seat (5)
and make the hex screw come into contact with
the blade to prevent it from loosening. Screw the
hex screw (1) into the blade seat and tighten it.
• Remove blades for HCS-20B (Fig. K):
∙ Loosen the two hex screws (1) on the cutting
base (4). Remove two hex screws (1), washers
(2), and cover (3). Remove the blade (5).
∙ Loosen the two hex screws (7) on the piston (6).
Remove two hex screws (7) and washers (2).
Remove the blade (5).
• Replace blades for HCS-20B (Fig. K):
∙ lnstall the blade (5) onto the cutting base (4) and
press it against the blade support surface.
∙ The hex screw (1) is threaded into the washer
(2), cover (3), and cutting base (4) in sequence.
Screw into the threaded hole of the blade (5) and
tighten it.
∙ lnstall the blade (5) onto the piston (6) and press
it against the blade support surface. The hex
screws (7) are threaded into the washer (2) and
the piston (6) in sequence. Screw into the thread-
ed hole of the blade (5) and tighten it.
• Ensure that the blade is firmly against the support
surface of the cutting base and piston, and tighten
the screws. Otherwise, it can cause personal injury
during cutting.
• Ensure the blades are firmly tightened after installa-
tion. Otherwise, cutting can cause personal injury.
Hydraulic oil
• Due to the hydraulic operation of the machine,
failure to maintain an appropriate amount of oil can
lead to a decrease in pressure and a loss of cut-off
power. At this point, it is necessary to change or top
up the oil to prevent impurities from contaminating
the oil or entering the tank. Impurities in the oil can
irreversibly damage hydraulic components.
• Make sure that the oil is free of impurities.
