GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WARNING: Read and understand all instructions.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below, may result in electric shock,
fire and/or serious personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
1. Work Area
(1) Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite
accidents.
(2) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the
dust of fumes.
(3) Keep bystanders children, and visitors away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2. Electrical Safety
(1) Double Insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than
the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not
fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do not change the plug in any way. Double
Insulation
grounded power supply system.
(2) Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
(3) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool
will increase the risk of electric shock.
(4) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tools or pull the plug from
a receptacle. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace
damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock.
(5) When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked “W-
A” or “W”. These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric
shock.
3. Personal Safety
(1) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a
power tool. Do not use tool while tires or under the influence of drugs, alcohol,
or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.
(2) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep
your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or
long hair can be caught in moving parts.
(3) Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is off before plugging in. Carrying tools
with your finger on the switch or plugging in tools that have the switch on invites

English
(4) Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool on. A wrench or a key
that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.
(5) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and
balance enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
(6) Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.
4. Tool Use and Care
(1) Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable
platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead
to loss of control.
(2) Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will do
the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
(3) Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
(4) Disconnect the plug form the power source before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce
the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
(5) Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
(6) Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained
tools, with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
(7) Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any
other condition that may affect the tool's operation. If damaged, have the tool
serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
(8) Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model.
Accessories that may be suitable for one tool, may become hazardous when used
with another tool.
5. Service
(1) Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or
maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.
(2) When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in
the Maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to
follow Maintenance Instruction may create a risk of electric shock or injury.

DOUBLE INSULATION FOR SAFER OPERATION
To ensure safer operation of this power tool, HITACHI has adopted a double insulation
design. “Double insulation” means that two physically separated insulation systems have
been used to insulate the electrically conductive materials connected to the power supply
from the outer frame handled by the operator. Therefore, either the symbol “
words “Double insulation” appear on the power tool or on the nameplate.
Although this system has no external grounding, you must still follow the normal electrical
safety precautions given in this Instruction Manual, including not using the power tool in
wet environments.
To keep the double insulation system effective, follow these precautions:
䡬 Only HITACHI AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER should disassemble or assemble this
power tool, and only genuine HITACHI replacement parts should be installed.
䡬 Clean the exterior of the power tool only with a soft cloth moistened with soapy water,
and dry thoroughly.
Never use solvents, gasoline or thinners on plastic components; otherwise the plastic
may dissolve.

ASSEMBLY AND OPERATION
APPLICATIONS
䡬 For shearing steel plate, brass plate, copper plate, aluminum plate, stainless steel plate,
tin plate, and other metal plates, also leather and fiberboard.
PRIOR TO OPERATION
1. Power source
Ensure that the power source to be utilized conforms to the power source requirements
specified on the product nameplate.
2. Power switch
Ensure that the switch is in the OFF position. If the plug is connected to a receptacle
while the switch is in the ON position, the power tool will start operating immediately
and can cause serious injury.
3. Extension cord
When the work area is far away from the power source, use an extension cord of
sufficient thickness and rated capacity. The extension cord should be kept as short as
practicable.
WARNING:
Damaged cord must be replaced or repaired.
4.Check the receptacle
If the receptacle only loosely accepts the plug, the receptacle must be repaired. Contact
a licensed electrician to make appropriate repairs.
If such a faulty receptacle is used, it may cause overheating, resulting in a serious
hazard.
5. Confirming condition of the environment:
Confirm that the work site is placed under appropriate conditions conforming to
prescribed precautions.

Fig. 2
(1) Loosen the hexagonal socket bolts fastening the stationary blade. Loosen the M4 lock
nut, and push back the M4 slotted set screws slightly.
(2) From the supplied thickness gauges, select one that is 1/10 the thickness of the panel to
be cut. Thickness of each thickness gauge is marked thereon. Insert the gauge in between
the blades, then tighten the hexagonal socket bolts very loosely. Next, use a screwdriver
to turn the M4 slotted set screws to position the stationary blade until it hits the thickness
gauge.
(3) If the space between blades is larger than the thickness of the panel to be cut, there will
be burrs for a less than clean cut.
If the space between blades is too narrow, cutting speed will be affected. For cutting in
a curved line, making the space a little bigger will make the cutting easier.
(4) After adjustment, tighten the M4 nuts securely so they will not loosen during operation.
(5) Securely tighten the hexagonal socket bolts fastening the stationary blade.

HOW TO USE
CAUTION:
䡬 Do not attempt to cut panels of thicknesses
that are beyond the capability of the hand
shear. Doing so will result in premature
breakage of the hand shear.
䡬 Perform the cutting operation only after the
panel is fixed securely.
When cutting thin panels, level the unit
horizontally, as shown in Fig. 4.
To facilitate smooth cutting of thick panels, if
the cut-off side goes toward the left, (Fig. 4)
raise the rear of the unit slightly. And if the
cut-off side goes toward the right, lower the
rear of the unit slightly.
HOW TO REPLACE THE BLADE
The hand shear uses disposable blades. Each
blade has 8 cutting edges, as shown in Fig. 5.
After a cutting edge cuts 1300 ft.(400m) of
panel, cutting performance will fall. Then use
another cutting edge. After all 8 cutting edges
are used and worn, replace the blade.

MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
WARNING: Be sure to switch power OFF and disconnect the plug from the
receptacle during maintenance and inspection.
1. Inspecting the blade
Using a worn or chipped blade will put an excessive burden on the motor and affect
work performance. Therefore, always use a well-cutting blade.
2. Inspecting the screws
Regularly inspect all screws and ensure that they are properly tightened. Should any of
the screws be loose, retighten them immediately.
WARNING: Using this Hand Shear with loosen screws is extremely dangerous.
3. Maintenance of the motor
The motor unit winding is the very “heart” of the power tool. Exercise due care to
ensure the winding does not become damaged and/or wet with oil or water.
4. Inspecting the carbon brushes (Fig. 6)
The motor employs carbon brushes which are consumable parts. When they become
worn to or near “wear limit”, it could result in motor trouble. When an auto-stop carbon
brush is equipped, the motor will stop automatically. At that time, replace both carbon
brushes with new ones which have the same carbon brush No. shown in the figure.
In addition, always keep carbon brushes clean and ensure that they slide freely within
the brush holders.
CAUTION:
Using this Hand Shear with a carbon brush which is worn in excess of the wear limit
will damage the motor.
