How to use

Charge the battery fully before first use and install it according to the tool manufacturer’s instructions. Mark the cutting line on the workpiece and position the cutting head so the material feeds cleanly into the blade area. Operate the shear at a steady pace to achieve even cuts; use the nibbler function for tight curves or detailed shapes. Maintain a firm, balanced grip and keep hands clear of the cutting area. After use, clean the cutting area of metal debris and store the tool and battery in a dry, secure place.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment, including safety glasses, gloves and hearing protection. Verify material thickness compatibility before cutting and secure workpieces with clamps or supports to prevent movement. For best results on metal, remove burrs and sharp edges after cutting and follow routine blade maintenance as specified by the manufacturer.
