WARNING:
For your safety, this tool is
equipped with lever which prevents the tool from
unintended starting. NEVER use the tool if it runs
when you simply pull the switch trigger without
pressing the lever. Return the tool to our autho-
rized service center for proper repairs BEFORE
further usage.
WARNING:
NEVER tape down or defeat pur-
pose and function of lever.
WARNING:
Before installing the battery
cartridge on the tool, always check to see that
the switch trigger and lever actuate properly
and return to the "OFF" position when released.
Operating a tool with a switch that does not actuate
properly can lead to loss of control and serious per-
sonal injury.

Never put your finger on the
switch when carrying. The tool may start uninten-
tionally and cause injury.

breakage.

Reverse button for debris removal
WARNING:
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.

NOTE: If the entangled branches or debris cannot be
removed, release the switch trigger, then press the
reverse button, and then pull the switch trigger until
they are removed.
NOTE: If you tap the reverse button while the shear
blades are still moving, the tool comes to stop and to
be ready for reverse movement.
