    Worst purchase ever

    This piece of crap is not worth the metal its made out of.

    Trying to load the cable into the thing is almost impossible.

    It requires 4 HANDS to pull out a little more of the cable in their so called "easy to use" contraption.

    When you live on your own it makes this product pointless to own.

    When using the brush cutter you actually feel like your body is being adjusted on a molecular level due to the vibration of the machine trying to handle it.


    Don't buy it.

    Grunty beast. Best in price-class

    I live on a slope with a very rough lawn, so the only way to mow the grass is with a line-trimmer.
    Lets start with why I didn't give it 5 stars:
    The manual is not very good. E.g: It doesn't say how often to grease the gear-box.
    The string-head is good in theory............... But it can be tricky to get the string through the holes to load it. I found that pushing a straw through the holes, then attaching the string to the end of the straw and pushing it through is the best way.
    If the string breaks, it is very difficult to open the head to retrieve the end. Two screw-drivers and some brute force seems to be the only way. A good quality string is the answer. As well as keeping the string tight while winding it on to prevent tangling. Pity the manual doesn't tell us that

    On the plus side: The machine starts easily. It has heaps of power. The harness is very comfortable and easy to put on and take off. Once you learn how to over-come the problems (hope my hints above will help) you've got the best machine in the price-range. You'd probably have to spend 3-4 times the amount to get something better.

    Avoid this Brush Cutter

    Would not recommend this product. The Head is almost impossible to get into to change the line, I have yet to find a human being who has the strength to open it. I have to use a g cramp to open mine. Line continually breaks which means you need to get into the head to make machine operational again. Harness is an absolute nightmare to figure out. Instruction manual is crap, everything almost works in reverse to what the manual says.
    Although machine has plenty of grunt and seems to start ok, keeping it continually running is a major with the line breaking all the time.
    Pay a bit extra and buy something decent.
