ADDING OIL
This cordless rebar cutter is electro-hydraulic. When shipped from the factory, it was filled with oil. Do not
attempt to add oil as long as the tool performs well. Over a period of time the oil level will gradually go down.
Eventually this will cause a noticeable dropping off in performance. When this happens add oil as follows.
1. Place some rebar between the blades and pull the Trigger Switch.
2. Release the Trigger Switch just before the cut is completed to stop the tool.
3. Remove the Battery from the tool, so that the Blades cannot be moved accidentally.
4. Remove the Bolt (SB10
✕
15) which caps the oil filler hole. Add the oil, being careful not to allow any oil to
spill into the motor.
5. Replace the Bolt (SB10
✕
15) and tighten securely.
6. Reinsert the Battery into the tool and complete the cutting operation.
7. Repeat the above procedure several times until the oil level remains correct.
Only pure hydraulic oil as recommended by Ogura & Company Ltd., should be used in this tool.
Recommended oils include the Ogura supplied hydraulic oil, Super Hyrando #46 (Nippon Oil
Corporation); Shell Tellus Plus #46 (U.S. Shell); or equivalent spec anti-wear hydraulic oil, ISO
Viscosity Grade 46. Do not use other oils as these may cause damage to the seals and other internal
machine parts.
