Switch action
WARNING:
For your safety, this tool is
equipped with lock-off lever which prevents the
tool from unintended starting. NEVER use the tool
if it runs when you simply pull the switch trigger
without pressing the lock-off lever. Return the
tool to our authorized service center for proper
repairs BEFORE further usage.
WARNING:
NEVER tape down or defeat pur-
pose and function of lock-off lever.
CAUTION:
Before installing the battery car-
tridge into the tool, always check to see that the
switch trigger actuates properly and returns to
the "OFF" position when released.
CAUTION:
Never put your finger on the main
power button and switch trigger when carrying
the tool. The tool may start unintentionally and cause
injury.
NOTICE:
Do not pull the switch trigger hard with-
out pressing the lock-off lever. This can cause
switch breakage.
To prevent the switch trigger from being accidentally
pulled, a lock-off lever is provided.

grasp the handle (the lock-off lever is released by the
grasp) and then pull the switch trigger. Tool speed is
increased by increasing the pressure on the switch
trigger. To stop the tool, release the switch trigger.

Reverse button for debris removal
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.
► Fig.11: 1. Speed indicator 2. Reverse button
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.
