Review: Great machine. - As people who know me will tell you, I am a very hard person to please. I also very rarely write positive reviews about things I buy, but this strimmer is genuinely so good that I felt compelled to write one. But firstly, just to get them out the way, there are two slight negatives: 1) The dead man switch is a little too firm to keep pressed down, and it does end up aching your hand every few minutes. People with less strength could struggle. 2) The spool does occasionally need to be manually pulled through. However, these are the only negatives I can find. The strimmer absolutely burned through our incredibly overgrown garden (the grass was almost a meter tall in places with weeds everywhere, tree stumps to navigate, big stones and bricks hiding underneath, and stone/fence edges too) and the machine didn’t use anywhere near as much nylon as I expected it to, and it easily stood up to every test. Whilst the machine is slightly heavy - and you do have to switch arms every 5-10 minutes - the results are certainly worth the pain! Genuinely didn’t expect the experience to be pleasurable, but it really was! Top marks, highly recommended!
Review: Quality and value for money - while it does a good job cutting the grass I have a couple of little niggles with it, firstly my old strimmer was the same power and roughly the same size, this one seems to be a bit 'top-heavy' which could be awkward for some people. Secondly the safety switch, ( a good idea) is a bit awkward to work, the power trigger in the handle has to held just right with the safety button held at the same time is also a bit awkward. Perhaps after using it a few times it might get a bit easier. Having said that, it is a decent price, a good length of cable and easy to store away

- Simply convert from trim to edge by twisting the cutting head

## Questions & Answers

**Q: first time user of the 500E. after trimming the two short cords became long and entangled under the mower. can someone explain what has happened?**
A: One possible scenario is that the metal pin underneath the strimmer, that trims excess line, has broken off. You will need to replace the guard.

The most likely cause of the problem is the spool and ratchet was not set correctly. You will need to remove the spool cover as explained in video, then remove the spool, untangle the individual cords/lines and rewind them. Replace the spool carefully passing the cords through their individual holes provided and pressing the spool back in place. Rotate the spool until it engages the ratchet and stops turning, then replace the cover. If done correctly you will not be able to pull out more line without pressing the ratchet release button on the side. Once releasing this button, pull on each of the cords together until you hear the ratchet reset. You should now be good to go.

**Q: Does it have a two buttn start mechanism so it will not start accidentally when you pirck it up?**
A: No it has one lever under handle, there is a handle to carry it with, l have severe Arthritis in my hands and handle things awkwardly, but l have no problem with this and it has never started before l wanted it too. I hope this helps.

**Q: I put the plant guard on first rather than the edging wheel and now I can’t take this off. Any idea?**
A: Yes we did likewise-my husband had to use 2 knives ( to give an edge) to hold back the plastic grippers then I had to pull off the wheel but you need 2 people--this is rather difficult to explain actually ok?
Best of luck!

**Q: What is the guarantee period**
A: 12 months minimum, but register the product for a total of 24 months.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brilliant and Highly Recommended!
*by J***E on 5 October 2016*

Brilliant and Highly Recommended! I was a bit nervous to purchase this following the prior reviews however, having bought this Electric grass Trimmer, I am extremely pleased! This maybe one of my favourite purchases for the garden yet. I have recommended this grass trimmer to a number of people for the following reasons; Clear and concise instructions Easy to put together; the shield and cord are not attached during transport but very easy to do. The strimmer is self is auto-feeding which means the length of the cord is always the correct length (if not- the clear instructions tell you how to make it do it for itself). Saving me from having to mess with it every time. The length of the cable is long enough to cover most of the garden (10m cable, but I have a 60 foot + garden and this pretty much gets all over). The head swivels, meaning that I am able to trim the grass against the fence, then can switch to cut the edging of the grass, saving me from getting the long arm scissors out/ half-moon edger and doing this manually. It is very light weight and balanced weight, so it can be easily maneuverer around the garden without putting too much stress on your arms. There is a shield to prevent the grass spraying out everywhere plus a wheel to use for rotation, creating a consistent edge the specific distance from the wall/ edges. It is mains operated The wires are held across two moulded ‘hooks’ for storage Negatives: The auto-feed failed on one occasion, resulting in me manually feeding the dual line, but this is only once (I have had this over a year now and used it on lots of occasions still only one fail). The grass still can spray out even with the shield; wear long trousers to save little cuts on legs (from experience). Read the instructions on how to ‘feed’ the cord (basically switch it on/ off a couple of times until you hear a change in the sound). Overall; for the price a brilliant purchase. Saves time and gives a clean edge to all borders, light and easy to use. Lots of positives for this Grass Edge Trimmer.
