Rotating Function of Motor (Fig. 13)
The Motor Body can be rotated through 360 degrees, in
either direction, during operation. This feature is
particularly useful when working in awkward or narrow
areas as it allows the operator to position the tool in the
best position for easy operation.
Return Valve Operation (Fig. 14)
The function of the Return Valve is to allow the Cutter Rod
to return to the starting position if it is unable complete a
cut or becomes jammed. Loosening the return valve half
turn will release the oil pressure and allow the Cutter Rod
to return. Retighten the Return Valve once the Cutter Rod
is fully returned and before starting the next operation.
BLADES REPLACEMENT
PROCEDURE
If the cutting edges of the blades are chipped, cracked,
deformed, or damaged in any way, their cutting ability will
be reduced. Cutting under such conditions may cause
further damage and result in personal injury. The blades
should be replaced as a set immediately if any damage is
found.
WARNING:
• When replacing the blades, ensure that the Battery is
removed from the tool to prevent accidental operation.
Ensure that Blade A, on the Bar Holder and Blade B, on
the Cutter Rod are fitted in their correct respective
positions.
(Fig. 15)
1. Undo the bolts and the washers that hold Blade A and
Blade B.
2. Remove dirt and clean the surfaces where the new
blades are to be fitted.
3. Fit Blade A to the Bar Holder and Blade B to the Cutter
Rod. Replace bolts and washers and tighten firmly.
WARNING:
• The bolts that hold Blade A and Blade B should be
tightened regularly. If the bolts become loose the
Blades may be damaged and may cause personal
injury.
