cartridge
► Fig.4: 1. Red indicator 2. Button 3. Battery cartridge
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 car-
tridge. 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 acci-
dentally 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 actu-
ates 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.

Reversing Switch for Debris
Removal
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 oper-
ated in the reverse mode. Failure to switch off
and remove the battery cartridge may result in
serious personal injury from accidental start-up.
► Fig.7: 1. Reversing switch 2. A position depressed
for normal operation 3. B position depressed
for weed and debris removal
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:
• Always check the direction of rotation before
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.
Speed adjusting dial
► Fig.8: 1. Speed adjusting dial
The tool speed can be infinitely adjusted from 3,500
-1
min to 6,000 min
Turn the speed adjusting dial clockwise for higher
speed, and counterclockwise for lower speed.
Battery protection system (Lithium-
ion battery with star marking)
► Fig.9: 1. Star marking
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 over-
heated. In this situation, let the battery cool
before pulling the switch trigger again.
