WARNING!
Recharge the batteries before use. Batteries
must be charged at room temperature of be-
tween 0º C (32º F) and 45º C (113º F). If charging
is not carried out between these temperatures,
it cannot be assured to have been correct, and
the battery capacity may be reduced.

To charge the battery, insert the power jack into the battery
and the battery charger plug into the 100-240V (50-60 Hz)
power socket of the installation premises.
When charging is completed, disconnect the battery charger
plug from the 100-240V (50-60 Hz) socket then extract the jack
from the battery.
3.11.1. Safe use of the battery
In using the battery it is important to comply with the follow-
ing safety requirements:
• It is forbidden to touch the battery or battery charger
with wet hands.
• It is forbidden to leave the battery near heat sources
or under direct or indirect sunlight (such as in the car).
• In the event of incorrect use of the batteries, liquid might
leak out of them.
• Strictly avoid any contact with it.
• In the event of accidental contact accurately rinse with
water.
• Immediately seek medical attention in the event the liquid
should come into contact with your eyes.
• The liquid from the rechargeable battery may cause skin
irritation or burns.
• It is mandatory to keep the battery and battery charger
away from the reach of children.
• It is mandatory to only and exclusively use the battery
charger supplied for charging the battery.
3.11.2. Battery charging procedure
Any change in the indicated order in the battery recharging
instructions may cause irreparable damage to the charger or
batteries.
• With reference to Figure 11, connect the socket (9) of the
battery charger (E) to a 100-240V (50-60 Hz) power mains
outlet of the installation premises.
• It is recommended for the socket to be fi tted with
earthing terminal.
• The LED (5) of the battery charger lights up steady in
green simply to signal that power is on.
• Connect the connector (8) to the relevant connection on
the battery; after a few seconds the display (4) shows the
charging progress.
• The batteries are being charged.
• Once the batteries have been charged, disconnect the
connector (8) from the battery.
lf the batteries are totally discharged, the charging time will
be approximately 6 hours. For optimal charging, the batteries
should be charged at the room temperature of between 0º
C (32º F) and 45º C (113º F). At lower or higher temperatures,
the battery charging capacity is not completed 100%, and the
economy is reduced.
For a longer useful battery life, it is recommendable to work un-
til the batteries completely discharged at least once a month
during the cutting campaign.
For long storage/hibernation after the cutting season, the bat-
teries must be completely recharged. This must be repeated
every 3 MONTHS, and failure to do so will result in the warranty
being voided.

3.2. Start-up and operation of shears
After having unpacked the product and ascertained that it has
suff ered no damage and verifi ed the presence of seals, proceed
as indicated:
• extract the Shears from the case together with the bat-
tery backpack and the battery; make a full recharge of
the batteries before use as explained in the paragraph
“Battery charging procedure”;
• with reference to Figure 1, connect the connector (6) of
the cable (D) to the battery (C). Connect the connector
(7) of the cable (D) to the Shears (A);
With reference to Figure 4, turn on the battery by pressing the
button (3): when started, the battery emits 3 beeps; after a few
seconds, the battery beeps and the display (4) shows “PR-40”
and then the number of cuts made and the charge status of
the battery itself.
Hold down the Shear trigger (1) for 3 seconds. The battery
beeps once and the Shear blades open. Release the trigger. At
this point, the Shears are ready to start work.
Fig. 4
It is recommended to use the supplied power
cord only. If the cord is shortened or length-
ened in fact, the calibration values change
and proper machine operation is not assured.
3.3. Progressive cutting control
The Shears are provided with a double opening servo progres-
Complete blade opening
Middle blade opening
To return to full opening, carry out the same operation holding
the trigger for 5 seconds.
Fig. 5
3.5. Standby mode and switching off
This mode allows you to disable the Shears with the blades
closed (e.g. for storage in the sheath while travelling).
With reference to Figure 5, Press the trigger (1) twice in quick
succession, then keeping it held down. One beep indicates that
the Shears are disabled.
To resume work, press the trigger (1) and release quickly. The
blade will move to the open position (as previous to closing)
and it will be possible to perform a new cutting cycle.
N.B.: The blades are closed in standby position.
The electronics are however equipped with an auto power off
device which, after 10 minutes of inactivity, switches off the
entire system. At that point, restart the battery (see paragraph
“Start-up and operation of Shears”).
To switch off the system (battery-Shear), put the Shear in
standby position and, only at this point, press the battery unit
button (3) until a beep is emitted.
N.B.: Once fi nished, put the Shears away with the blades closed
(see Figure 6).
DANGER!
The manufacturer cannot be held liable for
damage to persons, animals or property,
caused by non-compliance with the safety and
accident prevention regulations or operations
which do not conform to the information
provided in the use manual.
sive work program. This program enables full control of the
position of the cutting blade, as this position is proportional
to the position of the cutting trigger. The cutting blade moves
forwards or backwards to the desired point with a speed pro-
portional to the trigger operation speed, enabling optimum
accessibility and perfect cut control. With reference to Figure
4, if the trigger (1) is released, the cutting blade will automati-
cally open and the cutting cycle cannot be restarted until it is
pressed again. The reopening speed of the blade is proportion-
al to the closing speed. Therefore, if cuts are made at reduced
speed, the reopening will occur at the same speed.
3.4. Change of program
With reference to Figure 5, to change the blade opening, hoId
down the cutting trigger (1) for 5 seconds. The cutting blade
will be closed and the tool will emit 1 beep. When the trigger is
released, the blade will remain “HALF OPEN” as shown in fi gure
5.
