Key features & specs

How it compares

When compared to traditional gas trimmers, the EGO Power+ ST1511T offers a significantly quieter operation and eliminates the need for mixing fuel or maintaining spark plugs. In the realm of cordless electric competitors, its carbon fiber shaft provides a superior strength-to-weight ratio compared to aluminum or plastic alternatives. While corded electric trimmers offer unlimited runtime, this model provides the mobility required for larger plots without the hazard of a trailing power cable.

How to use it

1. Insert the fully charged 56V Arc Lithium battery into the rear port until it clicks.
2. Adjust the front loop handle to your preferred ergonomic height along the carbon fiber shaft.
3. To load new line, feed the 0.095-inch line through the head and press the Powerload button.
4. Engage the safety lock and pull the variable speed trigger to begin trimming.
5. Use a steady sweeping motion, keeping the trimmer head level with the ground for an even cut.
