STARTING AND STOPPING

Starting the machine:
Press the on / off button for one second and release. The LED indicator will light red and then green while you will hear a short beep. This green light will indicate the percentage of battery charge
Press the trigger twice in a row. Then the scissor blade will open and is ready to cut.

Machine stop:
Press the trigger for 2 seconds. After 1 second you will hear 2 short “beep” sounds and one second later two more short “beep” sounds. At this point, release the trigger and the cutting blade will stay closed.
Press the On / Off button. The LED indicator will turn off.

CUT SIZE ADJUSTMENT
This scissor has two cut sizes 20/30 mm. To vary the cut size, press the trigger and hold it for one second until you hear 2 short beeps. Then release the trigger and the cut size will have varied.

ANTI-CUT SECURITY SYSTEM
This scissor has an anti-cut system, which works only and exclusively with the user who is using the scissors and as long as they are not wearing gloves. This system comes into operation when it touches the blade or fixed blade (1/2) at the same time as the trigger (4). To activate or deactivate the anti- cut system, hold down the trigger. After a second you will hear two short “beeps”, a second later another two short “beeps”, then you will hear a long “beep”. After this long beep you will have activated/deactivated this function. Press the trigger again twice in a row to continue working.
This machine also has a security system that if it is not used after 3 minutes, it automatically goes to sleep warning you with 2 “beep”
After 10 minutes of rest, the machine will turn off, warning it with 4 “beep”

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE

Removal of safety devices, improper maintenance, replacement of bar and/or chain with non-original spare parts can lead to severe bodily injury.
Always perform maintenance or service with the battery unplugged.
Carry out the following maintenance and care operations when you finish working with the machine to ensure the smooth operation of this machine in future occasions.

LUBRICATION
The lubrication of the area of the blades is essential to guarantee the life of the blade and the scissor motor. Lubricate the gear with liquid lithium grease by introducing a few drops into the lubrication hole, always before starting work and every 10 minutes of work. Never apply grease to the blades.

BLADE SHARPENING.

Sharpen the blade every 100 cuts maximum to ensure proper cutting edge. A poor-quality edge will imply additional effort for the scissors and the cut will not be clean, which can cause diseases in the area of the cut of the plant.
The blade is sharpened with a Corundum whetstone resting it on the edge of the moving blade and making outward movements.
Sharpens only on the outside of the blade, never on the inside.
Remember that it is better to sharpen a little many times than a lot only once, so we recommend that you sharpen the blade costantly. The scissors will work better, the cut will be of better quality and you will have more performance on the job.

CHANGING THE BLADE
For the change of the blade, we recommend that you do it at your nearest technical service.

TROUBLESHOOTING

The scissor emits the following “beep” to identify problems:
