Product Information

Full details

The Mac Allister 18V Cordless Grass Trimmer (MCI1198GGT) is ideal for homeowners with small to medium lawns seeking an efficient and comfortable way to maintain grass edges and borders.

FAQs

What type of trimmer line should I use?

This trimmer uses a standard dual-line feed system. Refer to the product manual for specific line gauge recommendations for optimal performance and to prevent damage to the trimmer head.

How long will the battery last on a single charge?

Battery life varies depending on the capacity of the 18V battery used and the intensity of the trimming task. Consult the specifications of your Mac Allister 18V battery for estimated run times.

Can this trimmer be used for heavy-duty weed cutting?

This trimmer is designed for grass cutting and light edging. For dense weeds or thick brush, a more powerful tool such as a brush cutter may be required.

Do I need to assemble the trimmer?

Basic assembly, such as attaching the auxiliary handle and adjusting the shaft, may be required. Please refer to the included instruction manual for detailed steps.

How do I replace the trimmer line spool?

Turn off the trimmer and remove the battery. Follow the specific instructions in the user manual for releasing the spool cap, removing the old spool, inserting a new one, and reassembling the head correctly.

What is the warranty period for this product?

Warranty information varies. Please refer to the warranty card or the retailer's terms and conditions for the specific warranty period applicable to your purchase.

Troubleshooting

Trimmer does not start.

Ensure the battery is fully charged and correctly inserted. Check that the safety lock-off button is engaged.

Cutting line is not feeding automatically.

Check if the line is tangled or jammed. Turn off the trimmer, remove the battery, and carefully clear any obstruction from the spool area. Ensure the line is wound correctly on the spool.

Poor cutting performance.

The cutting line may be worn down. Replace the line or ensure it is feeding correctly. Check for any debris obstructing the cutting head.

Battery not charging.

Ensure the charger is plugged in and the battery is correctly seated on the charger. Clean the battery and charger contacts. Try a different compatible battery if available.
