This can cause switch breakage. 

Operating a tool 

with a switch that does not actuate properly can lead to 
loss of control and serious personal injury. 

(Fig. 7 & 8)

To prevent the switch trigger from being accidentally 
pulled, a lock-off button is provided. To start the tool, 
press in the lock-off button and pull the switch trigger. The 
tool speed is increased by increasing pressure on the 
switch trigger. Release the switch trigger to stop. 

Reversing Switch for Debris Removal 
(Fig. 9 & 10)

This tool has a reversing switch which is only provided to 
change the direction of rotation so that it can be used to 
remove weeds and debris entangled in the tool. To 
operated the tool normally the “A” side of the switch 
should be depressed.
To remove weeds and debris that are jammed in the 
rotating head the tool can be reversed by depressing the 
“B” side of the switch. In the reverse position the tool will 
only operate for a short period of time and automatically 
shut off.

 WARNING:

•

Always be sure that the tool is switched off and 
battery cartridge is removed before removing 
weeds or debris entangled in the tool that could not 
be removed when operated in the reverse mode.

Failure to switch off and remove the battery cartridge 

may result in serious personal injury from accidental 
start-up.

NOTICE:

• Always check the direction of rotation before operation.
• Use the reversing switch only after the tool comes to a 

complete stop. Changing the direction of rotation 
before the tool stops may damage it. 

Speed change (Fig. 11 & 12)

Two speed ranges can be preselected with the speed 
change switch.
Flipping the speed change switch lever to the “1” position 
will set the tool to the low speed range and the “2” position 
will set the tool to the high speed range.

Battery/motor protection system 

The battery cartridge and tool are provided with protection 
devices that will automatically reduce or cut off power to 
the tool when overload situations develop that may cause 
damage to the tool or battery cartridge. If the tool 
becomes overloaded but not locked up a protector is 
provided to reduce the revolutions to protect the motor. In 
this case the two indicator lamps described in the table 
below do not light or blink.
All other protection functions can be identified by the 
indicator lights described in the table below.

Nylon cutting head (optional accessory 
for a product that comes with a cutter 
blade)

NOTICE: 

• Do not attempt to bump feed the head while the tool is 

operating at a high RPM. Bump feeding at a high RPM 
may cause damage to the nylon cutting head. 

• The bump feed will not operate properly if the head is 

not rotating. 

(Fig. 14)

The nylon cutting head is a dual string trimmer head 
provided with a bump & feed mechanism. To cause the 
nylon cord to feed out, the cutting head should be bumped 
against the ground while rotating at a low RPM. As the 

nylon cord is feeding out it will automatically be cut to the 
proper length by the cutters on the guard extension. 

NOTE: 

If the nylon cord does not feed out while bumping the 
head, rewind/replace the nylon cord by following the 
procedures described under “Maintenance.” 

Battery remaining capacity indicator (only 
for models with Battery BL3622A)

Battery BL3622A is equipped with the battery remaining 
capacity indicator. 

(Fig. 15)

Press the CHECK button to indicate the battery remaining 
capacity. The indicator lamps will then light for approx. 
three seconds.
