Thanks for the helpful video, Phil! I was looking at buying this one but I really wanted to see how it worked and if it would be right for my awkward lawn before I purchased - your video is really helpful!
Thanks for the review mate, we have a Bosch lawnmower and I have problems with mowing the edges of the sprawling garden we have, I can see from this well presented video that this will do the trick! 👌
I use the flower guard so as not to get too close to things like brick walls. That way the cord lasts longer. Saying that, the cord will wear down with use anyway so you can just pull out another length on the roll. I have never used aftermarket cord with this machine so I could not advise.
Thank you for the instructions how to put it together. i was looking for that and i found you. May I ask, if the screw driver and screw came with the package. i unpacked mine with you but there was no screw and no screw driver. Once again, thank you very much much 😊
@@PhillWyattProjects A dedicated button? Some wording on their website makes it sound like it released every time you pull the trigger which sounds wasteful.
Do you know how to remove the plastic head where the trimmer line is on to from the motor? If i cut next to long grass the long grass gets stuck between that plastic head and the motor so the motor jams
@@PhillWyattProjects Thanks to this video, I've been using it and love it. However, I find mine turns off sometimes and it's hard to get it back on you. You make it look effortless! I'll take another look tomorrow to see if I've assembled all the parts properly.
From instruction, I see that it has semi-automatic wire supplying: by pressing each time of run button, it increases wire by 10 mm. But what if I don't want to move out the wire and waste it? Each time I stop and then run, it cuts off 1 cm of wire. Does anyone know how to disable this feature?
Very thorough review thanks Phil. I tried one of the ergonomic versions and found it to be too short, so would cause back ache. I am wondering if this version has a longer stem so the upper handle is higher? As a guide I am 6 foot tall.
Are you referring to how long the battery lasts? If so it depends as there are different capacity batteries available. It's never run out of power while I've used it although I have a small garden.
The only time mine stops is if there's too much line out and it catches the strimmer guard, the line breaks really easily though I find I have to fix and re feed the line every 2 minutes

Just got this trimmer, this video is very helpful. Had a test drive with it and it seems to cut well and is easy to handle.
Cool! Glad you found the video useful!
Thank you, very helpful guide for beginners like me. ❤❤
Glad it was helpful!

Awesome!

Thanks Elizabeth your welcome
I brought one from my job Cambridge Mitre 10 NZ, thank you for the video now I can go outside and tackle my edges.
Mine has been going strong I am liking it.
Thanks mate, I just realized that there are not many people who review grass trimmers; good luck!
Cheers I've still got this trimmer it does a good job 👍🏻

Ohhh that is what the 10 degree button is...I was trying to work out how to do edges...appreciate!
Your welcome!
Hello Phill,
A beautiful and useful lawnmower. Thank you for the introduction and information. Stay healthy and happy. See you.
Thanks! 👍 No problem.
My cord breaks all the time while doing the edge cutting, maybe som stonger aftermarket cord would do the trick? Thanks for the review

Thanks for watching!
Thank you phill

thanks man, helpful detail
@@alirezasaghafi8022 no problem 👍🏻
Thank you, i dont how but i needed that video! Thank you
Glad I could help!
How does the thread / wire cut grass? What is the material? Thanks,
Thank you for the instructions how to put it together. i was looking for that and i found you.
May I ask, if the screw driver and screw came with the package.
i unpacked mine with you but there was no screw and no screw driver.
Once again, thank you very much much 😊
Hi, thanks 👍🏻 the screw was included although not a screwdriver 🪛
Thank you. I subscribed to your chanel the day I found your chanel, You deserve it. Very useful content. Keep it up @@PhillWyattProjects
Thank you for the review
Your welcome
How much time u can work with this?With a single battery?
Is it good for hard grass like korean grass
I have one of these but the cord won't come out of the spool. Do you have an answer?
PhillWyattProjects will this work for overgrown grass. Please advise me
Depends. At some point it won't have the power to get through grass. Anything over 15cm high it would probably struggle with.
Thank you, how much time u can work with a single battery ?please answer me
How does the semi automatic line feed work? Do you always have to open the spool and pull it? I can’t see that the button feeds any line?
There is a little button you can click to release about 1cm of line at a time.

I also wonder about this??? Sitting here and cant use the trimmer. Got proberly a pice og nylon in there== Help??
Excellent video, thank you! I have this trimmer but didn't know how to use it ... heh, heh.

Hi mate, I’ve just installed mine and attached the flower protector. Is the wire supposed to be hitting the wire cutter continuously?
Hi, the wire cutter should cut it flush although it may still make contact with it which shouldn't be a problem.
Thank you for the helpful video. 👍
Your welcome 👍🏻
How does it work on curb corners? And cracks on the patio?
Yea it works quite well I would say.
@@PhillWyattProjects so it doesn't scratch/ chip bits off? It's on version 26 now. Will they be virtually the same would you say? 🤔
Can i cut tall grass to reasonable height to prepare fow lawnmover
I would say yes if you go easy on it.
Nice garden as well as review :)
Thanks!

Pete how do you get the wire to come out of the strimmer
Thanks for the video. Can it be used to trim hedges? A neighbours hedge has stated to expand to my side and needs trimming.
Thanks 👍🏻 no I think a hedge trimmer would be better suited for that job.
Very thorough review thanks Phil. I tried one of the ergonomic versions and found it to be too short, so would cause back ache. I am wondering if this version has a longer stem so the upper handle is higher? As a guide I am 6 foot tall.
It has quite a long stem that extends. The position of the handle can also be moved up and down. I'm about the same height and I find it to be fine.
For bigger gras? Did you try?
I never used it on high grass I think it would struggle. Dry grass up to about 8 inches or so should be fine.
How many work hours can be done wit this tools?
Are you referring to how long the battery lasts? If so it depends as there are different capacity batteries available. It's never run out of power while I've used it although I have a small garden.
How difficult is it to change the string. that is the biggest problem I have with trimmers.
I used it for 2 years and never finished the provided string. It pulls out with the click of a button so it's quite good I think.
Did you tried a steel brush/weed brush instead of the thread with it?
No I haven't
Does anyone know how to replace the spool on these things? Do you have to replace the spool or can you just wrap replacement line around?
I am not sure actually as my original line hasn't ran out yet so I haven't crossed that bridge yet. Hopefully someone else here might know...
Page 19 of the Manual says you can replace the line by winding into the spool, and shows how in the graphic on page 292
How did you put the guard on??? Would have helped to show this!!
Thanks
Your welcome 👍🏻
Thank you, but you skipped the bit I wanted to see - how to fix the flower guard 😂
Looks similar with a einhell but may be more powerfull
Possibly although I'm not sure
Nice
Thanks 👍🏻
I bought one but after 25min of use it just shuts down. am i doing something wrong or is this the battery life?
I'm not sure I found a 2.5 AH battery to last a good while but if you are using a standard 1.5AH battery 25 mins might be the time it's useful for.
@@PhillWyattProjects ita a 18v 2.0ah
@@paulozito3519 I have used an 18v 2.0AH but never timed how long it lasts. I would say 30 mins bit would need to time it.
The only time mine stops is if there's too much line out and it catches the strimmer guard, the line breaks really easily though I find I have to fix and re feed the line every 2 minutes
i wanted to see how you clean it
I just use a stiff brush to remove the grass cuttings from inside the protective shroud.
Very informative video. The manual is pretty useless unless you are good at deciphering drawings. Worse than Ikea!!! and I thought they were the pits!
Glad you found the video useful 👍🏻
