How it works and what it is for
The motor unit accepts the attachment required for each job. The line spool trims grass around edges and obstacles, while the three-tooth blade tackles weeds and denser growth. The hedge-trimmer attachment maintains hedges and shrubs, and the pole pruner cuts overhead branches while the operator remains on the ground. Two 20 V batteries must be fitted simultaneously.
