WARNING:
For your safety, this tool is
equipped with lock-off lever which prevents the
tool from unintended starting. NEVER use the tool
if it runs when you simply press the switch lever
and pull the switch trigger without pressing the
lock-off lever. Return the tool to our authorized
service center for proper repairs BEFORE further
usage.
WARNING:
NEVER tape down or defeat pur-
pose and function of lock-off lever.
WARNING:
Before installing the battery car-
tridge on the tool, always check to see that the
switch trigger and switch 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.
CAUTION:
Never put your finger on the
switch when carrying. The tool may start uninten-
tionally and cause injury.

out pressing the lock-off lever. This can cause
switch breakage.

button again. The power lamp goes off when the tool is
turned off.

Indicator
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, tap the reverse
button when the shear blades have stopped, then press
the switch lever and pull the switch trigger while press-
ing the lock-off 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.
► Fig.7: 1. Reverse button
NOTE: If the entangled branches or debris cannot be
removed, release and 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.
