Maintenance; Optional Accessories - Makita DUM166 Betriebsanleitung

When trimming around curb, fence or trees, move the tool
along them. Be careful for the blade not to contact them.
(Fig. 25)
When trimming sprouts or foliage of a small tree, remove
the base frame from the tool and cut little by little.
Shear big branches to your desired height beforehand
using branch scissors before using this tool.
CAUTION:
• When trimming twigs and foliage, do not attempt to trim
too much at a time. Proceed gently. Also do not attempt
to cut thick branches.
• Do not let the shear blades contact the grounds during
operation. The blades will be dulled, causing poor
performance.
• Do not trim wet grass or foliage of small trees.

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.
Shear blade maintenance (Fig. 26 & 27)
After operation, remove dust from both sides of the blade
with wired brush, wipe it off 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.
• Dirt and corrosion cause excessive blade friction and
shorten the operating time per battery charge.
After use
• To clean off the exterior of the tool, dampen a soft cloth
in a soapy water and wipe gently. Never use thinner or
benzine.
• Do not store the tool in a place where volatile materials
are stored.
To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs,
any other maintenance or adjustment should be

Installing the hedge shear blades (Fig. 29)
Prepare the crank, the undercover and new shear blades.

Adjust the three pin position so that these three pins are
aligned with the basic alignment line on the tool housing.
(Fig. 31)
Fit the crank with its recessed part facing downward onto
the pins. At this time, apply a small amount of grease to
the periphery of the crank using grease that the shear
blades as optional accessory are provided with or that
remains inside gear housing. (Fig. 32)
Overlap the oval hole in the upper blade with that in the

base plate of shear blades are positioned in the center of
these overlapped oval holes. (Fig. 33)
