Questions & Answers

So, I bought this, trimmed around my house, worked great. Well, I changed the attachment to an edger, got about 10 feet into my driveway, and it just stopped, and will not start again. What do I do? I took out the battery and switched heads- nothing.

Answer This Question

Every attachment I put on my trimmer rotates when it meets any resistance. I tighten the coupling as much as possible and there is no change. There appears to be a 1/2 in space between the attachment pole and the motors pole, so am I missing a part? I

                  Good power
                  Good string trimmer little heavy but overall good trimmer. Power was good could be better
                  by
                    PROS -- Good heavy duty whacker. Nice safety switch to prevent accidental activation. Strong 60V battery. CONS -- Missing a shoulder strap to take the heavy weight off my arms. Used it to clear brush on a mountain hillside where a mower could not operate.

                    Powerful, but heavy
                    I bought this a little over a month ago due to it being attachment capable. I reviewed the specs and understood what to expect for weight. Upon use, I realized the weight of it doesn't quite feel balanced and it's a lot of strain on your trigger hand/wrist. The safety is on one side of the handle and the power trigger is on the underside so it forces you to squeeze with your thumb and fingers, with a lot of weight from the power head and battery right behind it. But it's super powerful! I will just keep playing around with different ways to make it more comfortable to use while I build up my grip/forearm strength for it over time! I am in pretty darned good shape (lift weights) and tall, so I'd imagine a lot of women might want to go with something a little lighter/shorter. It would be awesome to find a way to alter the trigger mechanism a bit to allow you to adjust your grip slightly to fight fatigue.

                      Try going more than 10 feet with out the string breaking inside the head. Thought it was a fluke but I have used this for 20 minutes and spend 15 fixing the string every 5 or 10 ft I walk because it breaks inside the head. Going straight back to home depot

                        Overall very nice tool system. The attachment swap is very easy. Tool and battery perform excellent. My only complaint is Dewalt couldn’t put the stickers on straight. You might read this and think I am being overly sensitive but if they can’t put stickers on straight it makes you wonder if the rest of the tool was put together correctly I hope this is not the new definition of quality for Dewalt

                        Ok I didn’t need this at all. Bought it because it was $70 off. With that being said. My parents have a huge yard and I used it today and wow, it makes short work of what used to take my 83 year old dad an entire day. Glad I bought it. Works good with 5 amp hr battery. Works better with a 6 amp hr flex volt!! I highly recommend this product even if you don’t need it. It may help someone out someday.

                        Will double your work time
                        This trimmer works great if all you have is grass on a flat surface and if you VERY CAREFULLY measure and cut the string every time you fill it. Anytime you hit a rock, or if the string is a little bit long when you load it, instead of the trimmer automatically trimming the extra length, the string will wrap around the trimmer head. You will then have to spend 10 minutes cutting it loose and loading a new string. This will easily double your work time.
