Maintenance - Makita BUH481 Bedienungsanleitung

Always be sure to remove the blade cover before
•
installing the chip receiver.
The chip receiver receives cut-off leaves and
•
alleviates collecting thrown-away leaves. This can
be installed on either side of the tool.
Fig.12
Press the chip receiver on the shear blades so that its
slits overlap with the nuts on the shear blades.
Fig.13
At this time, the chip receiver needs to be installed so
that its hooks fit into grooves in the shear blade unit.
Fig.14
To remove the chip receiver, press its lever on both
sides so that the hooks are unlocked.
CAUTION:
The blade cover (standard equipment) cannot be
•
installed on the tool with the chip receiver being
installed. Before carrying or storing, uninstall the
chip receiver and then install the blade cover to
avoid blade exposure.
NOTE:
Check the chip receiver for secure installment
•
before use.
Never try to uninstall the chip receiver by an
•
excessive force with its hooks locked in the blade
unit grooves. Using the excessive force may
damage it.

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the
•
battery cartridge is removed before attempting to
perform inspection or maintenance.
Cleaning the tool
Clean out the tool by wiping off dust with a dry or soap-
dipped rag.
CAUTION:
Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or
•
the like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may
result.
Blade maintenance

operation using machine oil or the like.
NOTE:
Before smearing the blade, remove the chip

receiver.
After operation, remove dust from both sides of the
blade with wired brush, wipe off it with a rag and then
apply enough low-viscosity oil, such as machine oil etc.
and spray-type lubricating oil.
CAUTION:
Do not wash the blades in water. Failure to do so
•
may cause rust or damage on the tool.
Removing or installing shear blade
CAUTION:
Before removing or installing shear blade, always
•
be sure that the tool is switched off and the battery
