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 trigger when the tool’s head is stopped. The power 

lamp starts blinking, and the tool's head rotates in 

reverse direction when you pull the switch trigger.

To return to regular rotation, release the trigger and wait 

until the tool's head stops.
