Overload protection
If the tool or battery gets into one of the following situa-
tion, the tool automatically stops and the caution lamp
starts blinking in green:
— The tool is overloaded by entangled weeds or other debris.
— The cutting tool is locked or kicked back.
— The main power button is turned on while the
switch trigger is being pulled.
In this situation, release the switch trigger and remove
entangled weeds or debris if necessary. After that, pull
the switch trigger again to resume.
CAUTION:
If you need to remove the entan-
gled weeds on the tool or release the locked
cutting tool, be sure to turn the tool off before you
start.

If the tool or battery cartridge is overheated, the tool
stops automatically. When the tool is overheated, the
caution lamp lights up in red. When the battery cartridge
is overheated, the caution lamp blinks in red. Let the tool
and/or battery cool down before turning the tool on again.

If the tool does not operate even when the switches are oper-
ated, remove the battery cartridge from the tool and charge it.
