32.  Install and securely tighten the oil reservoir cap.
33.  Tighten the vent screw (if loosened).
34.  Using a clean rag, wipe the cutter housing, grip and 

motor so that surfaces are free of oil residue.

35.  Connect the cutter to the AC power supply. Cycle 

the piston several times to test for proper operation 

before placing the cutter back into service.

10.6  Cutter Blade Replacement

NOTICE:

  WARNING

• Always disconnect cutter from AC power supply 

before beginning blade replacement procedures. 

Failure to observe this precaution could result in 

accidental start-up during blade replacement. 

Serious personal injury could result.
• Use extreme caution when removing and installing 

blades. Blades may be sharp even when worn. To 

avoid hand injury, wear appropriate personal 

protective equipment (PPE) and avoid contact with 

blade cutting edges.
10.6.1  Blade Wear

The use of worn blades decreases the effectiveness of 

the cutter and can also side load the cylinder, resulting 

in possible damage to the tool. Motor overheating can 

also occur.
Replace blades immediately if they are worn and/or 

damaged or if there has been a noticeable decrease in 

cutting performance.

NOTICE

Blades are not sharpenable and must be 

replaced when worn. To help ensure optimum cutting 

performance, replace both the fixed blade and the 

moving blade at the same time.

NOTICE

During priming, the oil may become entrained 

with air and may develop a foamy appearance. This is 

normal.
21. Continue pressing and releasing the trigger in 

short bursts as the piston retracts all the way back. 

During this process, continue adding oil to keep the 

reservoir full.

22. Move the directional lever to the position 1 

(advance).

23. Press and release the trigger in short bursts as 

the piston extends all the way forward. During this 

process, continue adding oil to keep the reservoir 

full.

24.  Loosen the vent screw.
25. Slowly install the diaphragm in the diaphragm 

opening. This should result in some oil leakage 

from the vent screw, as well as from around the 

diaphragm.

26.  Tighten the vent screw.
27.  Install and securely tighten the diaphragm cover.

NOTICE:

  WARNING

To avoid serious personal injury, stay clear of cutting 

head and blades during the following procedures.

28.  Start the cutter and cycle the piston through several 

advance and return strokes. Ensure that the piston 

is fully advanced when done.

29.  Disconnect the cutter from the AC power supply.
30.  Be sure cutter is positioned so that the oil reservoir 

cap is facing upwards. Do not operate cutter for 

several hours (preferably overnight) to allow any 

remaining air to separate from the oil.

31.  Loosen and remove the oil reservoir cap. Recheck 

the oil level in the oil drain/fill hole. If oil level has 

dropped, loosen vent screw and add additional 

Enerpac HF oil until the oil level is up to the top of 

the hole.
