Battery supported Secateurs:
The AssistCut provides power-assisted cutting. It is
operated like a pair of manual secateurs and cuts
small branch diameters without power assistance.
For larger branch diameters, the integrated motor
switches on for power assistance. Noise develop-
ment while power-assisted cutting is active, is nor-
mal. Power-assist feature is only active as long as
gripping force is exerted on the handles. If no force
is exerted onto the handles, the AssistCut stops.
