So, I think we have to look at the idea of 'being free from karma' more in terms of not being trapped in karmic snares. If some unexpected negative thing happens, yesterday it might have gotten you all upset, but today you see that it is empty of any true existence- it's not a big deal after all, and it has no effect on you. So, it doesn't leave a strong impact. You don't dwell on it, you don't lose sleep over it and it doesn't shape [who] you will become in the future.
