Electrical tape or zip tie will take care of the safety switch.

I bought one of these but was really disappointed in it unfortunately. It worked flawlessly for about 3 weeks. However, one day I was using it and suddenly it stopped. I realized that the vents they made in the motor housing were too big. This allowed grass, dirt, etc. to get in the motor and caused it to burn up. I’ll give it in another try down the road, but for now it’s not for me. I’d highly recommend putting some kind of screen over that housing. Something like a large tea making bag would probably work well. They usually have a draw string and should be small enough openings to keep things out while letting the motor breathe.

Pro tip. Put the handle below the folding part. Then it is perfectly balanced.

Saw this at home depot yesterday pretty cool that it folds

That's the nice thing about the dewalt design. By putting the motor on the head you can incorporate folding with less engineering effort.

We just bought this. I am watching your videos now. It doesn't seem to hard to use. I am waiting for my husband to try it first. I am hoping it works good for us.

Dude nice introduction with the heavy metal ! Ya!

How do U get the handle on

I think this folding option on the flexvolt would be sweet tool boss

Juan getting pelted during the edging😂😂

Black and yellow 🤩

You can run .95 string if you are juat trimming grass, it runs fine.

I'm a huge fan of battery powered tools and machines, and I have transfered to battery machines in my small landscaping business. I use Makita hedge trimmer, pole trimmer and pole saw. But there are still 2 machines that I think still can't be replaced with a battery powered ones. Those are lawnmower and weed wacker. Although I've heard great stuff about the Milwaukee trimmer mentioned here, and Makita recently came out with an awesome pro level battery lawnmower, I still choose my Husqvarna 525 trimmer and Honda HRX 537 lawnmower. They are still more powerful and versatile than battery operated and they are even cheaper. With an incredible advance in battery tools, maybe in 5-10 years gas machines will be a thing of the past, but for now they are ireplecable in certain applications.

That safety switch needs a couple wraps of duct tape 😉

I did a couple videos about mine a couple weeks ago and dewalt really screwed this model up with that hinge location. Can't move the handle to a comfortable ergonomic position so it's front heavy and totally unbalanced. Hard to get a good cut and extra strain on my back. Also had to replace the head with an Echo head to get rid of the hand numbing vibration. This is the first dewalt tool that I am sorry that I bought and can not recommend.

It looks like debris (including grass) will eventually get into the motor chamber via those air vents on the head. This is not good.

Is it stronger than the old model? I just sold my Dewalt 20V trimmer yesterday. Bought the M18 Fuel quik lok trimmer and pole saw. Extremely pleased with the power and run time of it. Haven't even needed to run it on high speed. Found the low speed on the older model Dewalt just wasn't enough.

Awesome video, I appreciate it. I purchased one today looks good .

That'd be a good trimmer for my woman, because she has hands like Sir Wilt Chamberlain! That's also the reason I have a complex about the size of my manhood. Lol!

I’m sold didn’t even watch video the intro music got me

It got a ton of power

I watch because I want to see how to put the handle but I don't know if I miss it. By the way thank you.

I got this one for around my yard. Plenty Powerful but definitely wear thick jeans when cutting. I liked the price the most. Got it for.$99 online few months ago.

The one we have now, we had to add the handle on. Screw it in place.

When I try to edge with this the string seems to retract back inside a bit and not keep a long string going. My previous Ryobi 18v did the same thing, so I use a Black and Decker electric edger. Works perfect for me as a trimmer though. In my application, I don't even need high mode. Just curious why I always have this problem. It works as an edger for about 5ft before it started acting weird. I know it says not to use it as an edger, but I assumed it was a disclaimer so you didn't sling stuff up. But he seems to not be having problems with it. Also I haven't loaded the string in, it is the pre loaded string that came with it new.

Good review. Do you think this is strong enough to trim a ditch bank? The grass can get up to 1 to 1.5’ high. Thanks

Thanks for the video very informative

I hate the safety for that reason!! Thanks for the video.

Best I have used as far as electric trimmers go.

Hi have you used this with a brush cut attachment. If not are you able to demonstrate it on an episode .?

I saw in another vid that the manual says not to edge with this. Did you also see that? And should we not do that?

Sure wish he’d of went over replacing the string!

Yo Boss! The ability to fold is clutch. Great vid bro! After all this time, I've finally gotten a glimpse of the Boss!! Have a great weekend playa!!!

Do you prefer 0.080 or 0.095 string?

Just bring an elastic when you weed eat to hold in the safety

Any idea of what issue could be with line auto releasing? Comes out without a bump

DeWalt trimmer, shorts, boots and what else?

Any idea if the 6 amp hour dewalt battery will fit in this trimmer?

P how do I restring this 20-volt brushless DeWalt x r

Battery life on full charge??

Go to “high speed” on last minute JOB so that mind you get OUR...soon 😂

im pretty sure once it gets going you no longer need to hold the safety down.

Safety switch in my opinion don't try to use nothing to keep it on just because no long fingers, must be a reason why a safety switch, same as the guard I didn't put it on but just make sure wear a safety glasses..

Thanks

Careful of the bolts falling out for the protective sheath. Returned for full refund no problem at HD.

Hey boss. I'm in the market for a trimmer. I need power and battery life. I've narrowed it down to either Ego 56v, Dewalt 60v, or the Milwaukee quik-lok what's the best option boss? I've also considered this 20v considering the 20v battery convenience..

Thats what edges are for boss lol 😆

Hi does it take flexvolt batteries ?

left-handed save-ty switch

Yo Boss!

I'm 6'4 looks like ill keep my gas power trimmer. That shaft is so short id be bent over all day. Must be great for 5'7 woman.

I have that knife too lol

I just came here for the face melting music.

Bought new thi June, used it twice. Motor died! Tried multiple batteries. Still dead! Don't recommend this trimmer!

Pure garbage. I'm on my 2nd one, same problem -- just stopped working.

That trigger looks like major problems

So much talk, so little show
