Reverse button for debris removal
WARNING:
If the entangled branches or
debris cannot be removed by the reverse func-
tion, switch off the tool and remove the bat-
tery cartridge, and then remove the entangled
branches or debris using tools such as pliers.
Failure to switch off the tool and remove the bat-
tery cartridge may result in serious personal injury
from accidental start-up. Removing the entangled
branches or debris by hand may cause an injury,
since the shear blades may move in reaction to
removing them.
This tool has a reverse button to change the direction
of shear blades movement. It is only for removing
branches and debris entangled in the tool.
To reverse the shear blades movement, press the
reverse button when the shear blades have stopped,
and then pull the switch trigger while pressing the lever.
The power lamp starts blinking, and the shear blades
move in reverse direction.
When entangled branches and debris are removed,
the tool returns to the regular movement and the power
lamp stops blinking and lights up.
