10.6 Cutter Blade Replacement
NOTICE:
WARNING
• Always disconnect cutter from AC power supply
before beginning blade replacement procedures.
Failure to observe this precaution could result in
accidental startup during blade replacement. Serious
personal injury could result.
• Use extreme caution when removing and installing
blades. Blades may be sharp even when worn. To
avoid hand injury, wear appropriate personal
protective equipment (PPE) and avoid contact with
blade cutting edges.
10.6.1 Blade Wear
The use of worn blades decreases the effectiveness of
the cutter and can also side load the cylinder, resulting
in possible damage to the tool. Motor overheating can
also occur.
Replace blades immediately if they are worn and/or
damaged or if there has been a noticeable decrease in
cutting performance.
NOTICE
Blades are not sharpenable and must be
replaced when worn. To help ensure optimum cutting
performance, replace both the fixed blade and the
moving blade at the same time.
27. Move the piston release lever to position 1 and
tighten.
28. Connect the cutter to the AC power supply.
NOTICE:
WARNING
To avoid serious personal injury, stay
clear of cutting head and blades during the following
procedures.
29. Start the cutter and cycle the piston through several
advance and return strokes. Ensure that piston is
fully retracted when done.
NOTICE
Orient the oil reservoir cap facing upwards at
this time, and keep it as such until the cap is installed for
the final time. Failure to do so may result in air remaining
in the reservoir. This may require special consideration
when the soft metal bar is used.
30. Do not operate cutter for several hours (preferably
overnight) to allow any remaining air to separate
from the oil.
31. Place the soft metal bar (refer to step 2) into the
cutting head.
32. Press and release the trigger in short bursts until
the piston is extended as far as possible, but before
it makes a full cut and retracts. The moving blade
will become lodged in the bar, preventing the
piston from retracting. This procedure is necessary
because the cutter mechanism alone may fail to
hold the piston in the partially extended position as
oil level is being checked.
NOTICE
If you cut completely through the bar, try again,
cutting as far as you can without making a full cut.
33. Disconnect the cutter from the AC power supply
to prevent accidental motor start-up during the
following steps.
34. Loosen and remove the oil reservoir cap. Check
the oil level in the oil drain/fill hole. If oil level has
dropped, add additional Enerpac HF oil until the oil
level is up to the top of the hole.
35. Install and securely tighten the oil reservoir cap.
36. Move the piston release lever to position 2 to retract
the piston. If piston is stuck, use the bar to manually
push the piston back until it retracts.
37. Using a clean rag, wipe the cutter housing, grip and
motor so that surfaces are free of oil residue.
38. Connect the cutter to the AC power supply. Cycle
the piston several times to test for proper operation
before placing the cutter back into service.
