This is a truly amazing piece of kit, so versatile. It has tackled everything I have thrown at it with ease, from tree stumps to those overhanging branches that were previously out of reach. When using it a certain amount of retraint is needed otherwise you will be sweeping up for hours.
The instructions aren't much use although to be fair the way it slots together is pretty intuitive. Separation of poles is easy too - fully depress spring clip, then twist shaft clockwise untill it passes the clip then wriggle off. If the shaft wont rotate at least 90 degrees clockwise, the spring clip needs depressing further (use a 1p piece).
It is also worth noting that the strimmer head is a left hand thread as is the nut for the brush cutter. A little care ensuring the correct order of washers when assembling the brush cutter will stop the strange sounds I encountered on my first trial. The brush cutter blade is double sided, so when one side becomes blunt you turn it over.
The hedge cutter is straight forward and does a great job. Using the knuckle I managed to get a billiard table finish to the top of the hedge.
I found it worthwhile spending time to adjust the strap correctly. If it is tightened so that the weight of the machine is borne by the left shoulder, the left hand acts as a pivot for the right hand.
The machine is perfectly balanced with any attachment fitted, easy to clean and so easy to start.
The nachine will run for around 40 minutes on 500ml (25:1)doing light work and arounde 25 mins doing heavy work (tree stumps)
It comes complete with tool kit and mixing bottle. The only things it requires are 2 stroke oil (£3 -£4/Litre) and chainsaw oil (£4/Litre).
Delivery was very quick with tracking information.
