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, press the reverse / high-torque
button when the cutting tool is stopped. The cutting tool
rotates in reverse direction and the reverse lamp blinks
when you pull the switch trigger while depressing the
lock-off lever.
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 press the reverse / high-torque button
while the cutting tool is still rotating, the tool comes to
stop and to be ready for reverse rotation.
High-torque button
You can use the tool in the high-torque mode. In the
high-torque mode, the tool speed is less likely to
decrease than in the normal mode when the load of the
tool is large.
To use the tool in the high-torque mode, press and hold
the reverse / high-torque button. The high-torque lamp
lights up. To return to the normal mode, press and hold
the reverse / high-torque button again.
