NOTICE:
Do not wash the blades in water. Doing
so may cause rust or damage to the tool.
NOTICE:
Dirt and corrosion cause excessive
blade friction and shorten the operating time per
battery charge.
Storage
The hook hole in the tool bottom is convenient for hang-
ing the tool from a nail or screw on the wall.
Attach the blade cover to the shear blades so that the blades
are not exposed. Store the tool out of the reach of children.
Store the tool in a place not exposed to moisture or rain.
