NOTICE:
If the shear blades do not move
smoothly, the shear blades are not engaged with
the rods properly. Install the shear blades again.
NOTICE:
If the parts other than the shear
blades such as the rods are worn out, ask Makita
Authorized Service Centers for parts replacement
or repairs.
Removing or installing the chip receiver
CAUTION:
When installing or removing the
chip receiver, always wear gloves so that your
hands do not directly contact the shear blades.
The chip receiver gathers discarded leaves and makes
clean-up afterward much easier.
To remove the chip receiver, remove four screws (for
DUH604S) or five screws (for DUH754S), and then
remove the chip receiver from the tool. To install the
chip receiver, follow the removal procedure in reverse.
