FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
WARNING:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off
•
and battery cartridge is removed before
adjusting or checking the functions on the tool.
Failure to switch off and remove the battery
cartridge may result in serious personal injury from
accidental start-up.
Installing or removing battery cartridge
Fig.1
CAUTION:
Always switch off the tool before installing or
•
removing of the battery cartridge.
Hold the tool and the battery cartridge firmly when
•
installing or removing battery cartridge. Failure to
hold the tool and the battery cartridge firmly may cause
them to slip off your hands and result in damage to the
tool and battery cartridge and a personal injury.
To remove the battery cartridge, slide it from the tool
while sliding the button on the front of the cartridge.
To install the battery cartridge, align the tongue on the
battery cartridge with the groove in the housing and slip
it into place. Insert it all the way until it locks in place
with a little click. If you can see the red indicator on the
upper side of the button, it is not locked completely.
CAUTION:
Always install the battery cartridge fully until the
•
red indicator cannot be seen. If not, it may
accidentally fall out of the tool, causing injury to
you or someone around you.
Do not install the battery cartridge forcibly. If the
•
cartridge does not slide in easily, it is not being
inserted correctly.
Power switch action
WARNING:
Before inserting the battery cartridge in the tool,
•
always check to see that the switch trigger
actuates properly and returns to the "OFF"
position when released. Do not pull the switch
trigger hard without turning the lock-off lever.
This can cause switch breakage. Operating a tool
with a switch that does not actuate properly can
lead to loss of control and serious personal injury.

Push the power button on the housing so that the tool is
powered on and power indicator lights.
Fig.3
To prevent the switch trigger from being accidentally

To start the tool, turn the lock-off lever and then pull the
switch trigger. Release the switch trigger to stop.
NOTE:
After the power button is pushed and the tool is

WARNING:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off
•
and battery cartridge is removed before
removing weeds or debris entangled in the tool
that could not be removed when operated in
the reverse mode. Failure to switch off and
remove the battery cartridge may result in serious
personal injury from accidental start-up.
Fig.4
This tool has a reversing switch which is only provided
to change the direction of rotation so that it can be used
to remove weeds and debris entangled in the tool. To
operate the tool normally the "A" side of the switch
should be depressed.
To remove weeds and debris that are jammed in the rotating
head the tool can be reversed by depressing the "B" side of
the switch. In the reverse position the tool will only operate
for a short period of time and automatically shut off.
NOTICE:

operation.
Use the reversing switch only after the tool comes
•
to a complete stop. Changing the direction of
rotation before the tool stops may damage it.

Lithium-ion batteries with a star marking are equipped
with a protection system. This system automatically cuts
off power to the tool to extend battery life.
The tool will automatically stop during operation if the
tool and/or battery are placed under one of the following
conditions:
Overloaded:
•
The tool is operated in a manner that causes
it to draw an abnormally high current.
In this situation, release the switch trigger on
the tool and stop the application that caused
the tool to become overloaded. Then pull the
switch trigger again to restart.
If the tool does not start, the battery is
overheated. In this situation, let the battery
cool before pulling the switch trigger again.
