cutting depth. To adjust the cutting depth, follow the 

steps below.

  Turn on the tool and pull the switch trigger twice to 

open the shear blades.

2.

  While pulling the switch trigger fully, press and 

hold the angle adjustment button for a few seconds until 

the green indicator lamp blinks fast.

3.
