Reverse button for debris removal

WARNING:

If the entangled branches or debris can-

not be removed by the reverse function, switch off the tool 

and remove the battery cartridge, and then remove the entan-

gled branches or debris using tools such as pliers.

 Failure to 

switch off the tool and remove the battery 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 pressing 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.
