WARNING:
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.

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 trigger when the cutting tool is stopped. The power
lamp starts 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.

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.
