Installing or removing the shear blades Reverse button for debris removal WARNING: If the entangled branches or debris cannot be removed by the reverse function, switch off the tool and remove the battery cartridge, and then remove the entangled 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. CAUTION: Attach the blade cover before removing or installing the shear blades. You can install 500 mm (19-3/4"), 600 mm (23-5/8"), or 750 mm (29-1/2") shear blades to your tool. 1.
