Installing or removing the chip
receiver
Optional accessory
CAUTION:
When installing or removing the
chip receiver, always wear gloves so that your
hands do not directly contact the shear blades.
NOTICE:
The blade cover cannot be installed if
the chip receiver is installed on the tool. Before
carrying or storing the tool, uninstall the chip
receiver, and then install the blade cover to avoid
blade exposure.
NOTICE:
Be sure to remove the blade cover
before installing the chip receiver.
The chip receiver gathers discarded leaves and makes
clean-up afterward much easier. It can be installed on
either side of the tool.
To install the chip receiver, align the hooks of the chip
receiver with the arrow marks on the shear blades, and
then press the chip receiver against the shear blades so
that the hooks fit into the grooves on the shear blades.

Never try to remove the chip receiver
by an excessive force with its hooks locked in the
grooves of the shear blades.
