• Due to our conti nuing program of rese arch and devel-
opment, the specifications herein are subject to change
without notice.
• Note: Specifications may differ from country to country.
Power supply
The tool should be connected o nly to a power s upply of
the same voltage as indicated on the nameplate, and can
only be operated on sing le-phase AC supply. They are
double-insulated in accor dance with E uropean Stand ard
and can, therefore, also be us ed from sockets without
earth wire.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES ENB011-2
1. Hold the tool firmly.
2. Secure the workpiece firmly.
3. Keep hands away from moving parts.
4. Edges and chips of the workpiece are sharp.
Wear gloves. It is also recommended that you
put on thickly bottomed shoes to pre vent injury.
5. Do not put the tool on the chips of the work-
piece. Otherwise it can cause damage and trouble on the tool.
6. Do not leave the to ol running. Operate th e tool
only when hand-held.
7. Always be sure you have a firm foot ing. Be sure
no one is below when using the tool in high locations.
8. Do not touch the blade or the workpiece immedi-
ately after operati on; they may be extremely hot
and could bu r n your skin.
9. Avoid cutting electrical wires. It can cause seri-
ous accident by electric shock.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Blade inspe ct ion
Before using the tool, check the blades for wear. Dull,
worn blades will result in poor shearing action, and the
service life of the tool will be shortened.
Rotating or replacing blades
Important:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before rotating or replacing the blades.
Both the upper a nd lower blades have four cutting edges
on each side (the front and back). When the cutting edge
becomes dull, rotate both the upper and the lower blades
90° to expose new cutting edges. When al l eight edges
are dull on both the upper and lower blades, replace both
blades with new ones. Each time blades are ro tated or
replaced, proceed as follows.
Remove the blade securi ng bolts with the hex wrench
provided and then rotate or replace the blades. (Fig.1)
Some tools have one or mor e thin washer s between the
upper blade and the blade holder. Be sure to use the
same number of thin washers when reassembling. (Note:
No thin washers are used for the lower blade.) (Fig. 2)
T o secure the upper blade, tighten the upper blade securing bolt with the hex wrench. Press up on the upper blade
while tightening it. (Fig. 3)
After securing the up per blade, be sure that ther e is no
gap left between the upp er blade and the bevelled surface of the blade holder. (Fig. 4)
When installing the lower blade onto the yoke, the lower
blade should be presse d against the yoke so as to be
contacting the bevelled portions A and B of the yoke and
the tip C of the lower blade positioning scr ew while you
tighten the lower blade se curing bolt. There must be no
clearance between A, B and C during installation.
(Fig. 5 & 6)
Note:
The lower blade positioning screw is factory-assembled.
Do not tamper with it.

Switch action
For tools with pivot type lock-off lever
(Fig. 7 & 8)
CAUTION:
• B efore plugging in the tool, always check to see that
the paddle switch actuates p roperly an d return s to the
“OFF” position when released.
• The switch lever does not actuate when the lock-off
lever is in the LOCK position. Do no t try to actuate the
switch lever when the lock-off lev e r is in the LOCK position.
• When not operating the tool, keep the lock-off lever in
the LOCK position.
To prevent the switch from being accidentally a ctu ated , a
lock-off lever is provided. To start the tool, t urn the lockoff lever to the FREE position and then squeeze the
switch lever. Release the switch lever to stop.
For tools with slide type lock-off lever (Fig. 9)
CAUTION:
Before plugging in the too l, always check to see that the
paddle switch actuates prop er ly an d returns to the “OFF”
position when released.
To prevent the switch from being accidentally a ctu ated , a
lock-off lever is provided. To start the tool, slid e the lockoff lever in the direction of the arrow and squeeze the
switch lever. Release the switch lever to stop.
Holding materia l (Fig. 11)
The materials for cutting should be fastened to the work bench by means of workholders.
Shearing method (Fig. 12)
Keep the shear moving parallel with the material.
Maximum cutting width
Stay within the specified maximum cutting width (A): Case of length 1,800mm.
Permissible shearing thickness (F ig. 10)
The groove on the yoke serves as a thickness gauge for
shearing mild or stainless steel plate. If the material fits
within the groove, it is shearable.
The thickness of materia ls to be sheared depends upon
the type (strength) of the ma terial . The max imum shearing thickness is indicated in the table below in te rms of
various materials. Attemp ting to shear materials thicker
than indicated will result in tool breakdown and/or possible injury. Keep within the thickness shown below.

MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before carrying out any work on the tool.
Replacement of carbon brushes

Replace carbon brushes when they are worn down to the
limit mark. Both identical carbon brushes should be
replaced at the same time.
To maintain product safety and reliability, repairs, maintenance or adjustment should be carr ied out by a Makita
Authorized Service Center.
