To avoid severe personal injury, always remove the battery pack from the metal cutter before starting any maintenance procedure.

CAUTION:

To assure product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, servicing should be performed by an authorized service center. Always insist on genuine Panasonic replacement parts.

Removing Blade

CAUTION:

The blade will be hot right after cutting. Be sure to let the blade cool down before removing it.

Follow these steps:

1.Remove the battery pack from the metal cutter. 2.Hold the spindle lock button down. This prevents

the blade from rotating.

3.Use the provided hex wrench to loosen the hex bolt.

NOTE:

Keep the hex wrench in the storage slot on the metal cutter’s body when not using it.

4.Remove the hex bolt and outer washer.

5.Use the lower guard lift lever to retract (open) the lower guard.

6.Carefully remove the blade. 7.Clean the metal cutter if necessary.

CAUTION:

Be careful to avoid cutting your hands on the blade.

•When disposing of a blade, secure it inside heavy or corrugated paper. This will help prevent anyone from being cut by the discarded blade.

Place the inner washer with cut-out facing you.
