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.
