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 entangled 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.

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 for the cut-
ting tool. If the tool consistently fails to quickly stop the
cutting tool 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.
