Congratulations!
You have chosen an Eastman tool. Years of experience,
thorough product development and innovation make
Eastman one of the most reliable partners for professional
power tool users.
Your new Hornet is designed to replace handheld shears
for increased performance and capacity with a minimum
of maintenance and service. Equipped with either a round
knife for general use or a multi-sided knife for difficult to
cut material.
TO OPERATE MACHINE
Raise the knife guard (A) just enough to allow the fabric
in over the pressure foot and make contact with the Knife.
To turn on the Hornet, squeeze the variable switch (C) and
hold button to activate the Lock-off button (D) switch. If the
tool does not perform properly check, the battery pack. Be
sure the battery pack is properly charged and installed. Be
sure the knife direction switch is fully depressed from the
center safety position.
To adjust blade speed, slide RPM switch (E) to one of three
positons: 10,000/17,500/25,000. See Fig 1.
TO SHARPEN KNIFE
Take the machine out of the material to be cut. Check knife
rotation for counter-clockwise rotation. To obtain a fine,
keen edge on the knife, while the machine is running, press
lightly on the sharpener button (B) with constant pressure.
Hold for 10 seconds, then release.
WARNING
Before performing any of the following procedures,
make sure the battery power pack has been removed.
LUBRICATION
Follow this procedure yearly for intermittent use, or every
month for continuous use. Remove knife. Remove tension
nut (4C3-12) and spring. Place a few drops of Eastman
oil on knife rod (720C1-42). Remove sharpening stone
(541C1-22) and wipe away any grit deposits. Apply a
light coat of Eastman Lubriko Grease (242C2) to parts
and reassemble. To lubricate gears, remove plug (54C4-
35) and inject grease. Eastman Gear lubricant (242C2) is
recommended. Be sure felt lubricator (191C1-26) is kept
