Putting shears in the holster
Keep pulling the switch trigger to close the shear blades, and press
the I/O switch to "O" side to turn off the tool. Then put the shears
into the holster and hold the shears with the strap of the holster.

OPERATION

CAUTION:
Always hold the tool firmly. And
keep firm footing.
CAUTION:
Do not put any of your body parts
near to the blades during operation.
CAUTION:
Before use, inspect if the blades,
blade bolts or other parts are not worn or damaged.
Replace worn or damaged parts for safe operation.
NOTICE:
If the blade is stuck in a branch during
operation, do not twist the blade. In that situation, turn
off the tool and pull the blades straight out slowly from
the branch. Otherwise the blade may be damaged.
NOTICE:
In case you cut too thick branch or something too
hard, the overload protection works and the tool stops. In that
situation, if the upper shear blade is opened too wide and the
switch trigger is pulled fully, the upper blade closes slightly when
you press the I/O switch to "I" (on) position for restarting the tool.

branches which can be cut with these shears is about
33mm. Maintain your proper footing and balance at all times.
After use

tion, and disconnect the connection cord from the shears and the
switch box, and remove the batteries from battery holder.
Store the shears in dry, high or locked-up place – out of
reach of children.
NOTICE:
Remove the battery when not using the
shears. Otherwise the battery capacity is reduced
during course of time.

ily holds picked flower after cutting.

ance by loosening the screws.
