DW890/384122 9/1/00 3:24 PM Page 4 English servicing requires the gear case to be removed. Use type and quantity of grease shown on the parts bulletin packed with your tool. FIG. 5 ALTERNATELY TIGHTEN TO SECURE Line up one edge of the tool's middle blade with the cutting line and advance blades into the material without forced effort or unnecessary pressure. A little practice will enable you to determine what forward pressure gives you the smoothest cutting. It is important to keep the lower surfaces of the side blades flat on the material being cut (Figure 4). When cutting curves, do not tilt the tool; keep the side blades flat and level. For best cutting efficiency, keep blades sharp. Wear gloves when handling sheet metal. The edges are sharp and can cause injury. CAUTION: Do not use the shear with any kind of accessory or attachment. Such usage might be hazardous. Adjustment (Figure 5) To adjust the curl of waste material, the left side knife has elongated holes. Adjustment may be necessary after changing blades or material being cut. Loosen cap screws and tap side knife either forward or backward so that curl of waste does not hit shear housing or work material while cutting. Lubrication All ball bearings are factory lubricated to last the life of the tool. All sleeve and needle bearings receive their lubrication from grease in the gear case. Clean and re-lubricate gear case yearly or whenever Accessories Recommended accessories for use with your tool are available at extra cost from your distributor or local service center. CAUTION: The use of any non-recommended accessory may be hazardous. Important To assure product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs, maintenance and adjustment (including brush inspection and replacement) should be performed by authorized service centers or other qualified service organizations, always using identical replacement parts.
