3. Adjust the position of the upper buckle. Close and
lock the upper buckle and adjust its belt length.
► Fig.13: 1. Upper buckle
CAUTION:
In case of emergency, quickly
open the lower buckle and upper buckle, loosen
shoulder straps, and set down the backpack.
Installing the connection cord
CAUTION:
Always make sure that the switch
box's I/O switch is on the "O" side before attach-
ing the connection cord.
CAUTION:
Do not operate the tool if the con-
nection cord is damaged.
NOTICE:
Do not abuse the connection cord. Do not
carry the tool by pulling the connection cord. Keep the
connection cord away from heat, oil, or sharp edges.
Otherwise the connection cord may be damaged.
Attach the connection cord with the switch box and the
shears as follows:
1. First, align the triangular marks of the male plug
of the connection cord with the triangular mark of the
female connector of the switch box. Push in the plug of
the connection cord to the connector of the switch box.
Then, align the marking on the coupling with the trian-
glar marks, and push in and turn the coupling to tighten.

5. Coupling
NOTICE:
Turn the coupling and align the marking
on the coupling with the triangular marks first when
disconnecting the connection cable.
2. Hang the switch box on the waist belt or upper
belt.

3. Push the connection cord into the loop of the cord
holder.
► Fig.16
Hang the cord holder on either the upper belt or the
waist belt on which the switch box is not hung.
The cord holder prevents the connection cord from dan-
gling around your body, and also the cord holder can
prevent the connection cord from being cut by mistake.

► Fig.18
NOTICE:
Do not hang anything other than the
connection code on the cord holder. Otherwise the
code holder may be broken.
NOTICE:
Do not force the cord holder opening.
Otherwise it may result in deformation or breakage of
the code holder.
4.
Put the arm band on your arm. And slip the con-
nection cord through the arm band.

5. First, align the triangular marks of the female
socket of the connection cord with the triangular mark
of the male connector of the shears. Push in the socket
of the connection cord to the connector of the shears.
Then, align the marking on the coupling with the trian-
glar marks, and push in and turn the coupling to tighten.

Putting shears in the holster
Keep pulling the switch trigger to close the shear
blades, and press the I/O switch to "O" side to turn off
the tool. Then put the shears into the holster and hold
the shears with the strap of the holster.
OPERATION
CAUTION:
Always hold the tool firmly. And
keep firm footing.
CAUTION:
Do not put any of your body parts
near to the blades during operation.
CAUTION:
Before use, inspect if the blades,
blade bolts or other parts are not worn or damaged.
Replace worn or damaged parts for safe operation.
NOTICE:
If the blade is stuck in a branch during
operation, do not twitst the blade. In that situation,
turn off the tool and pull the blades straight out
slowly from the branch. Otherwise the blade may be
damaged.
NOTICE:
In case you cut too thick branch or some-
thing too hard, the overload protection works and the
tool stops. In that situation, if the upper shear blade is
opened too wide and the switch trigger is pulled fully,
the upper blade closes slightly when you press the
I/O switch to "I" (on) position for restarting the tool.

Pruning operation

► Fig.21
Cut branches one by one. The maximum thickness of
branches which can be cut with these shears is about
33mm. Maintain your proper footing and balance at all times.

After use

Close the shear blades, press the I/O switch to the "O"
(off) position, and disconnect the connection cord from
the shears and the switch box, and remove the batteries
from battery holder.
Store the shears in dry, high or locked-up place – out of
reach of children.
NOTICE:
Remove the battery when not using the
shears. Otherwise the battery capacity is reduced
during course of time.
