ENE037-1

Intended use

The tool is intended for cutting sheet steel and stainless sheet steel.

ENF002-2

Power supply

The tool should be connected only to a power supply of the same voltage as indicated on the nameplate, and can only be operated on single-phase AC supply. They are double-insulated and can, therefore, also be used from sockets without earth wire.

NIBBLER SAFETY WARNINGS

1. Hold the tool firmly.
2. Secure the workpiece firmly.
3. Keep hands away from moving parts.
4. Edges and chips of the workpiece are sharp. Wear gloves. It is also recommended that you put on thickly bottomed shoes to prevent injury.
5. Do not put the tool on the chips of the workpiece. Otherwise it can cause damage and trouble on the tool.
6. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool only when hand-held.
7. Always be sure you have a firm footing. Be sure no one is below when using the tool in high locations.
8. Do not touch the punch, die or the workpiece immediately after operation; they may be extremely hot and could burn your skin.
9. Avoid cutting electrical wires. It can cause serious accident by electric shock.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

WARNING:

DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product (gained from repeated use) replace strict adherence to safety rules for the subject product. MISUSE or failure to follow the safety rules stated in this instruction manual may cause serious personal injury.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

CAUTION:

- Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before adjusting or checking function on the tool.

Permissible cutting thickness (Fig. 1)

The thickness of material to be cut depends upon the tensile strength of the material itself. The groove on the die holder acts as a thickness gauge for allowable cutting thickness. Do not attempt to cut any material which will not fit into this groove.

Max. cutting capacities mm	ga
Steel up to 400 N/mm ^2	3.2 10
Steel up to 600 N/mm ^2	2.5 13
Steel up to 800 N/mm ^2	1.0 20
Aluminum up to 200 N/mm ^2	3.5 10

Switch action (Fig. 2)

CAUTION:

• Before plugging in the tool, always check to see that the switch trigger actuates properly and returns to the "OFF" position when released.
• Switch can be locked in "ON" position for ease of operator comfort during extended use. Apply caution when locking tool in "ON" position and maintain firm grasp on tool.

To start the tool, simply pull the switch trigger. Release the switch trigger to stop.

For continuous operation, pull the switch trigger and then push in the lock button.

To stop the tool from the locked position, pull the switch trigger fully, then release it.

ASSEMBLY

CAUTION:

- Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before carrying out any work on the tool.

Punch replacement (Fig. 3, 4 & 5)

Fit the wrench provided onto the lock nut and tap the handle lightly with a hammer to loosen the lock nut. Take off the die holder and use a wrench to remove the screw. Then remove the punch.

To install the punch, insert it into the punch holder with its cutting edge facing forward so that the pin in the punch holder fits into the groove in the punch. Install the screw and lock nut. Then tighten them securely.

NOTE:

- When installing the screw and lock nut, be sure to tighten securely. If they become loose during operation, the tool may break down.

OPERATION

CAUTION:

- Hold the tool firmly with one hand on the main handle when performing the tool.

Pre-lubrication

Coat the cutting line with machine oil to increase the punch and die service life. This is particularly important when cutting aluminum.

Cutting method (Fig. 6)

Smooth cutting is achieved by holding the tool upright and applying gentle pressure in the cutting direction. Apply tool oil to the punch about every 10 meters of mild steel or stainless steel to be cut. Light oil or kerosene should be used to keep an aluminum lubricated continuously. Failure to lubricate aluminum in the cut will cause chips to adhere to the tool, dulling the die and punch and increasing load on the motor.

Cutouts (Fig. 7)

Cutouts can be done by first opening a round hole of about 42 mm diameter or more in the material.

Cutting stainless steel (Fig. 8)

There is more vibration when cutting stainless steel than mild steel. Less vibration and better cutting is possible by adding another washer (standard equipment) beneath the die.

Use the hex wrench provided to remove the two screws and insert the washer below the die. Replace screws and tighten securely.

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION:

• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before attempting to perform inspection or maintenance.
• Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or the like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may result.

The tool and its air vents have to be kept clean. Regularly clean the tool's air vents or whenever the vents start to become obstructed.

Punch & die service life (Fig. 9 & 10)

Replace or sharpen punch and die after cutting the lengths indicated in the accompanying table. Their life, of course, depends upon the thickness of materials cut and lubrication conditions.

Punch Replace after 150 m of 3.2 mm steel sheet

Die Sharpen after 300 m of 3.2 mm steel sheet

006441

When cutting is poor even after replacing the punch, sharpen the die. Grind down the dull edge shown in Fig. 9 using a grinder. After rough-grinding the dull portion, finish with a dressing stone. Stock removal should be about 0.3 to 0.4 mm.

When installing ground die, a clearance of 3.5 to 4.0 mm should be obtained by attaching one or two of the washer provided, as shown in Fig. 10. Failure to have the proper clearance will result in vibration during cutting.

CAUTION:

- Secure installing screws carefully when installing. A loose screw can cause tool breakage during operation.

NOTE:

- The die can be sharpened two times. After two sharpenings, it should be replaced with new one.

Replacing carbon brushes (Fig. 11 & 12)

Remove and check the carbon brushes regularly. Replace when they wear down to the limit mark. Keep the carbon brushes clean and free to slip in the holders. Both carbon brushes should be replaced at the same time. Use only identical carbon brushes.

Use a screwdriver to remove the brush holder caps. Take out the worn carbon brushes, insert the new ones and secure the brush holder caps.

To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs, any other maintenance or adjustment should be performed by Makita Authorized Service Centers, always using Makita replacement parts.

ENG901-2

NOTE:

• The declared vibration total value(s) has been measured in accordance with a standard test method and may be used for comparing one tool with another.
• The declared vibration total value(s) may also be used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.
