Reverse button for debris removal
WARNING:
Switch off the tool and remove
the battery cartridge before you remove entan-
gled weeds or debris which the reverse rotation
function can not remove. Failure to switch off and
remove the battery cartridge may result in serious
personal injury from accidental start-up.
This tool has a reverse button to change the direction of
rotation. It is only for removing weeds and debris entan-
gled in the tool.
To reverse the rotation, tap the reverse button and pull
the switch trigger while depressing the lock-off lever
when the cutting tool is stopped. The speed indicators
start blinking, and the cutting tool rotates in reverse
direction when you pull the switch trigger.
To return to regular rotation, release the trigger and wait
until the cutting tool stops.

NOTE: During the reverse rotation, the tool operates
only for a short period of time and then automatically
stops.
NOTE: Once the tool is stopped, the rotation returns
to regular direction when you start the tool again.
NOTE: If you tap the reverse button while the cutting
tool is still rotating, the tool comes to stop and to be
ready for reverse rotation.
Electronic torque control function
The tool electronically detects a sudden drop in the
rotation speed which may cause a kickback. In this
situation, the tool automatically stops to prevent further
rotation of cutting tool. To restart the tool, release the
switch trigger. Clear the cause of sudden drop in the
rotation speed and then turn the tool on.
NOTE: This function is not a preventive measure for
kickbacks.
