3.6. Repeated attempts to cut
The Shears are provided with a cutting reattempt program.
If the force required to make the cut exceeds the capacity of
the Shears, the blade will lock. If the trigger (1) is kept held
down in this condition, the Shears will attempt to complete the
cut. If this attempt is once again unsuccessful, the Shears will
make a third attempt. lf it is not possible, the blade will move
to the open position.
At any time, if the trigger is released, the cutting blade will
move into the open position. At this point, it will be possible to
start another cutting cycle.
WARNING!
Do not over-straining movements in leverage
(see paragraph "Form of use").
3.7. Form of use
Grasp the Shears firmly as shown in Figure 7 and press on the
cutting trigger with your index finger.
When the pressure is released the blade opens and the cutting
speed is proportional to the finger movement (progressive and
servo-assisted cutting system).
Before starting working, arrange the harness which, with mul-
tiple adjustments, is easily adapted to user needs. The braces,
the belt and the breastplate can be adjusted using the special
buckles.
The harness is made of completely waterproof fabric and is
equipped with a scabbard for storing the Shears when not in
34/64

use.
After connecting the Shears and adjusting the harness, you can
begin the startup cycle and the device will be ready to begin
work.

Forcing the machine like a lever or cam during the cutting pro-
cess, as shown in the attached pictures, causes an overreaching
in the head that can cause serious damage:
• By flexing the cutting head, it can be damage the teeth
of the pinion and the conic sector;
• It may cause high-frequency vibrations that can damage
the motor beyond repair;
• Alterations to the wire of the cutting blade, the counter
blade and the metal frame.
These faults and others caused by repeated forcing, are not
due to manufacturing faults, but rather to poor or undue use
by the user of the cutting equipment.
3.8. Protection system in the cutting cycle
The Shears are equipped with protective electronic controls
to avoid overstressing the system during work. The conditions
that must occur in order for these controls to intervene, block-
ing the cutting cycle, are as follows:
Avoid overexertion. This cutting equipment
has been designed to do the work of manual
shears; NOT trimmers for two hands or other
cutting equipment such as saws, power saws,
etc. If the blade cannot cut the branch because
of its excessive diameter or the hardness of the
wood, do not cut and do not for any reason
force it upward, downward (A) or laterally (B)
during the cutting cycle (Figure 8).
