5.2 Battery Installation

  1. Align the charged battery pack with the battery slot at the base of the shears.
  2. Slide the battery into the slot until it clicks securely into place. Ensure it is firmly seated to prevent accidental disconnection during operation.

6. Operating Instructions

6.1 Powering On/Off

  1. To Power On: Long press the main power switch (refer to Image 3.1) for 5 seconds until the indicator light illuminates. Then, quickly press the trigger switch 3-4 times to activate the blades.
  2. To Power Off: Long press the main power switch for 5 seconds until the indicator light turns off. The blades will retract to a closed position.

6.2 Adjusting Blade Opening (Two-Gear Opening)

The shears feature a two-gear opening mechanism, allowing you to adjust the blade opening size for different branch thicknesses.

  • While the shears are powered on, long press the trigger for 5 seconds to switch between the two blade opening sizes (e.g., 3.5cm and a smaller setting).
  • This feature helps prevent accidental contact and optimizes cutting efficiency for various branch sizes.

6.3 Pruning Branches

Ensure you are wearing appropriate safety gear before beginning pruning.

  1. Select the appropriate blade opening size for the branch you intend to cut. The maximum cutting diameter is 35mm.
  2. Position the branch firmly between the open blades.
  3. Press the trigger switch to close the blades and cut the branch. Release the trigger to open the blades.
  4. Make clean cuts. The SK5 steel blades are designed to make small, clean incisions that heal quickly, reducing damage to the plant.
