Reverse button for debris removal
WARNING:
• Switch off the tool and remove the battery cartridge
before you remove entangled 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
entangled in the tool. (Fig. 10)
To reverse the rotation, tap the reverse button and pull the
trigger when the tool's head is stopped. The power lamp
starts blinking, and the tool's head rotates in reverse
direction when you pull the switch trigger.
To return to regular rotation, release the trigger and wait
until the tool's head stops.
NOTE:
• During the reverse rotation, the tool operates only for a
short period of time and then automatically stops.
• Once the tool is stopped, the rotation returns to regular
direction when you start the tool again.
• If you tap the reverse button while the tool's head is still
rotating, the tool comes to stop and to be ready for
reverse rotation.
Nylon cutting head (optional accessory)
NOTICE:
• The bump feed will not operate properly if the head is
not rotating. (Fig. 11)
The nylon cutting head is a dual string trimmer head
provided with a bump & feed mechanism.
To cause the nylon cord to feed out, the cutting head
should be bumped against the ground while rotating.
NOTE:
If the nylon cord does not feed out while bumping the
head, rewind/replace the nylon cord by following the
procedures described under "Maintenance".
