Reverse button
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.
This tool has the reverse button to change the direction
of rotation. By changing the direction of rotation, you
can change the direction in which the cut grass is flown.
The reverse button is also used for removing weeds
and debris entangled in the tool.
To reverse the rotation, press the reverse / high-torque but-
ton when the cutting tool is stopped. The reverse lamp lights
up. The cutting tool rotates in reverse direction when you
pull the switch trigger while depressing the lock-off lever.
To return to regular rotation, press the reverse / high-
torque button when the cutting tool is stopped.

while the cutting tool is still rotating, the tool comes to
stop and to be ready for reverse rotation.
High-torque button

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.
