FAQs
Does this spreader come with a battery?
No, the WG869E.9 is a bare tool and does not include a battery or charger.
Can I use this for rock salt?
Yes, it is designed to handle various granular materials, including ice melt or rock salt, provided the granules are not oversized.
What is the maximum coverage per fill?
The 3.3 L hopper is designed to cover up to 550 m² depending on the material density and your chosen settings.
Is the spread width adjustable?
Yes, you can adjust the spread width up to a maximum of 5 meters using the speed and flow controls.
How do I prevent the spreader from clogging?
Ensure the material used is dry and free of large debris, and utilize the built-in anti-clog mechanism during operation.
Is it safe to leave fertilizer in the hopper between uses?
It is not recommended. You should empty the hopper after every use to prevent moisture-induced clumping or damage to the feed mechanism.
Troubleshooting
Material is not spreading evenly
Check the flow-rate lever settings and ensure the hopper is not overfilled, which can cause material compaction.
Motor runs but nothing is coming out
Clear any debris near the base of the hopper and ensure the internal anti-clog mechanism is not jammed by large clumps of material.
Battery drains faster than expected
Avoid running the device at the highest speed setting for long periods and ensure the impeller is clean of debris to reduce motor strain.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using your Worx WG869E.9, simply slide a charged Worx 20V battery into the designated slot on the handle. Always ensure the device is switched to the 'off' position before adding material to the hopper. Adjust the flow-rate lever to the desired setting based on the product packaging recommendations before starting the motor.
For care and maintenance, it is essential to empty the hopper after every use to prevent clumping or chemical corrosion. Use a damp cloth to wipe down the exterior and remove any trapped debris from the spinning impeller. Never submerge the unit in water. If you are storing the device for an extended period, remove the battery and store it in a cool, dry place.
