The Mac Allister Grass Trimmer has quickly become a popular choice for homeowners who need a reliable, cordless solution for lawn edging, weed control, and light brush clearing.

What’s in the Box?
When you purchase the Mac Allister Grass Trimmer, the packaging includes the following items:
- Mac Allister Trimmer body (motor, housing, and handle)
- 2 × 20 V lithium‑ion batteries (pre‑charged)
- Fast‑charge charger
- Spool of 2.5 mm nylon line (dual‑line coil)
- Protective safety goggles and ear plugs
- User manual and quick‑start guide
- Warranty registration card (12‑month limited warranty)
The inclusion of two batteries allows for continuous work while one charges, a feature highlighted in the Mac Allister Strimmer Review video series.
Assembly – First‑Time Setup
Putting the trimmer together takes less than five minutes. Follow these steps for a trouble‑free start:
- Insert the battery. Slide the first 20 V battery into the rear compartment until it clicks into place.
- Attach the handle. Align the handle’s locking pins with the slots on the motor housing and push firmly until you hear a snap.
- Load the cutting line. Open the line‑feed cover, feed the dual‑line coil through the eyelets, and close the cover. The coil should sit snugly without twists.
- Secure the guard. Snap the protective guard onto the head of the trimmer; this prevents debris from striking you during operation.
- Charge the spare battery. Plug the charger into a standard 120 V outlet and insert the second battery.
