Speed Control Switch (Fig. A)
This string trimmer gives you the choice to operate at a

accelerate the trimmer speed for high- performance cutting.
To extend runtime , pull the speed control switch back toward

into the "LO" position. This mode is best
for larger projects that require more time to complete.
To accelerate the trimmer,
push the speed control switch

into the "HI" position.
This mode is best to cut through heavier growth and for
applications that need higher RPM.
nOTE:
When in "HI" mode, runtime will be decreased as
compared to when trimmer is in "LO" mode.
