Can this trimmer be used in any position? In other words, does it still run well when tilted in odd positions?

So far as I have experienced, Yes. It has a fuel pick-up tube that drops to follow the fuel. There obviously is no issue with the oil being a 2 stroke. I Haven't noticed the tank cap leaking either. It was designed to run on at least 90 degrees from level in any direction you can achieve. Never had mine completely inverted so give that a try and see what you notice. If it stops running, don't do that again. Pretty sure it was designed for bone-heads so I can't imagine you could hurt the thing. I like mine.

Husqvarna does not indicate that any position will create a stall or motor stop. Husqvarna does state however that the cutting attachment should be held and maintained below waist level.

I havent used it completely upside down, but it has no issues with extreme angles mowing a ditch.

Has run well in any position I have used - flat, sideways right and sideways left. Have not tried upside down.

Yes, however I have had some trouble using it, its set at an angle and makes it a little awkward.

Yes. It can rotate 360 degrees so you can place it in any position. You can also tilt left and right, up and down.

Actually you can use it in ANY angle position, you want. In my own usage, it lay FLAT because 99% is not needed. One time while printing, the paper run out. I put new stack of paper but still will NOT print unless I press "OK" option in the screen. Hope that helps.

Only on the presets with the model I bought. I believe the model up has locks on it that will allow you to cut at any angle.

It runs vertical, up. I had a different one for my Dad and find this much better. It can be used with either hand or both. It does not slant toward any one direction. Hope this helps!

Hi, No it can't tilt downward at any angle, but it can tilt upward to any angle. Thank you,

It does not lock in the angled position. The lock only locks the forward / reverse function. This is a great tool! I have two older models and the latest one which has the lithium battery.

You can. The problem is, there's a pretty good degree of length between the lowest setting, and using the trimmer without the guide. Would be great if there was one more setting between. But it slides right off. Hope that was helpful.

No, but I believe it is the reason the base swivels. The weight of the battery makes it awkward to rotate the whole trimmer.

Yes it can. If mounted normally it can be tilted from facing up and horizontally flat to facing down and horizontally flat.

The trimmer in itself works very well but with the extended handle it is heavy. If you mean to just flip the unit upside down, yes you can. However a button that is located near the side of the trigger must be depressed before the trigger will engage, which may be a bit of a trick if turned 180 degrees. Once the trigger is engaged the button no longer needs to be held. The trigger does not lock in position so it must stay depressed while in use. The extended handle in the normal direction of use will rotate the trimmer about 45, 60 and 90 degrees in the downward direction and in the upward direction approximately 45 and 60 degrees. The trimmer itself cuts really well and I rarely use the extension. The trimmer in itself works very well but with the extended handle it is heavy.

It has the ability to tilt up, but it is somewhat unstable when you do this. It's better just to let it hang down.

I don't believe that it would work well that way. It's designed to be center when used and the head does move side to side and up and down ,but not much.

I believe so. Even if it were at a slight slant, it could still work. I love mine.

It moves better on low cut grass, side walks, drive ways, and playgrounds. I'd be apprehensive using on tall grass (4+ inches high) as it could get in mechanical parts.
