A closing lever and an opening lever drive the closing blade and the opening blade, respectively. The closing lever has a first closing lever and a second closing lever supported coaxial with each other for undergoing pivotal movement. The second closing lever has a drive portion at a first end thereof for driving the closing blade and an engagement portion at a second end thereof. A lock lever restricts movement of the closing lever. The lock lever has a first mating engagement portion for engaging the engagement portion of the second closing lever in the predetermined position of the closing lever, and a second mating engagement portion for engaging the engagement portion of the second closing lever short of the predetermined position thereof. A set lever undergoes movement to a set position to set the closing lever, the opening lever and the lock lever to predetermined positions.
