This string trimmer gives you the choice to operate at a
more efficient speed to extend the runtime for larger jobs, or
accelerate the trimmer speed for high- performance cutting.
To extend runtime, pull the speed control switch back toward
the battery housing
for larger projects that require more time to complete.
To accelerate the trimmer, push the speed control switch
forward toward the auxillary handle
This mode is best to cut through heavier growth and for
applications that need higher RPM.

compared to when trimmer is in "LO" mode.
