Indicator
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.

NOTE: If the entangled branches or debris cannot be removed,
release and pull the switch trigger until they are removed.
NOTE: If you tap the reverse button while the shear
blades are still moving, the tool comes to stop and to
be ready for reverse movement.
Electric brake
This tool is equipped with an electric brake. If the tool
consistently fails to quickly stop after the switch trigger is
released, have the tool serviced at a Makita service center.
