4. Clean, replace or sharpen the blades as
required. Replace blades as a set only.
5. Reassemble by repositioning the blades
and bushings as illustrated. Replace the
Head Bolts and tighten them securely.
6. Test the product to be sure that it is working properly.
7. The Left and Right Blades are slotted. They can be adjusted to change the direction of the curl
of waste material. To adjust:
a) Unplug the tool.
b) Loosen all three Head Bolts.
c) Make a slight adjustment to the Left or Right Blade as needed.
d) Tighten the Head Bolts.
e) Test the direction of the waste curl and repeat the steps above as needed.
NOTE
If the Head Bolts are over-tightened, then the Center Blade will not move freely enough,
causing premature wear, or possibly preventing the tool from operating. If the Head Bolts are not
tight enough, the tool will not make a smooth cut in the material
CLEANING
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible to damage from
various types of commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use clean cloths to
remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
WARNING
:
Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products,
penetrating oils, etc., come in contact with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken or
destroy plastic, which may result in serious personal injury.
Electric tools used on fiberglass material, wallboard, spackling compounds, or plaster are subject to
accelerated wear and possible premature failure because the fiberglass chips and grindings are
highly abrasive to bearings, brushes, commutators, etc. Consequently, we do not recommend using
this tool for extended work on these types of materials. However, if you do work with any of these
materials, it is extremely important to clean the tool using compressed air.
LUBRICATION
Tool should be lubricated every 60 days to 6 months as needed.
To lubricate, remove shear head from power unit. Put a few drops of heavy oil on bearing assembly.
Also grease or oil the outside surface of the bearing ring.
