It also has a brush cutter debris shield and loop handle equipped with a barrier bar for compatibility with brush cutter blades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"dyn-expand\"\u003eThe String Trimmer has a variable speed trigger and three speed settings (4,600 \/ 5,500 \/ 7,000 RPM) for power and run time management. In addition, users can set the Automatic Torque Drive Technology mode, which automatically shifts from 4,600 RPM to 7,000 RPM for extended run time or added power. It also features a reverse function that quickly clears the trimmer head of entangled grass and weeds.
