NOTE: When you set ADT (Automatic Torque Drive
Technology), ADT indicator turns on and the tool runs
at optimum rotation speed and torque for the condi-
tion of grass being cut.
Reverse button for debris removal
WARNING:
Switch off the tool and remove
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
and ADT indicator 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.

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.
Electric brake
This tool is equipped with an electric brake. If the tool
consistently fails to quickly stop after the switch trigger
is released, have the tool serviced at our service center.
CAUTION:
This brake system is not a substi-
tute for the protector. Never use the tool without
the protector. An unguarded cutting tool may result
in serious personal injury.
