6.1
Routine maintenance
CAUTION!
•
Before carrying out any routine maintenance work, switch off the ON-OFF button (5) and remove the battery
(12) from the tool.
•
All the maintenance operations which are not described in this manual have to be performed in Authorised
Service Centres.
The routine maintenance operations may be carried out by the operators.
6.2
Sharpening
Correct sharpening of the blade is essential to ensure:
•
cut quality;
•
battery life;
•
durability of the mechanical parts and the motor;
•
durability of the blades;
During the first day of use the burr that is created on the cutting edge of the blade must be removed often. The type and
diameter of the wood being cut determines how often this must be done.
Hard wood with a large diameter: after 15 minutes, then every hour. Soft wood with a small diameter: after 30 minutes,
then every 2 hours. (It is good practice to avoid cutting branches that are dry or with a large diameter during the first half
hour of work)
After the first day of use, you will determine how often sharpening is required based on the condition of the blade.
Light but frequent sharpening is recommended
6.2.1
Replacing the blade
If the movable blade (1) is worn out, or if the shear does not guarantee a clean cut after sharpening, we recommend
replacing the blade assembly following the steps below.
CAUTION!
Before any maintenance work, switch off the shear and remove the battery.
CAUTION!
The fixed and movable blade can be replaced separately. Pay no attention to the positioning of the movable blade. It will
be correctly positioned after the shear is turned on at the end of the replacement.
