Does the location of the battery make handling this trimmer awkward?

Hi, battery does not get in the way. I am a single mother and I love it. It's light and easy to use.

No, the battery is not in the way at all, and this weed eater is balanced very well.

Not at all, I haven't used a trimmed an years, and using this one wasnt bad!

No I have not found the battery to be of any problem as to its weight, location or any other attribute
1467073
No, but I believe it is the reason the base swivels. The weight of the battery makes it awkward to rotate the whole trimmer.

No, the location of the battery is not a problem because overall the unit is lightweight and the new-age battery is not heavy at all.

You can set the drag with the nut on the side (where the manual crank handle goes). I would imagine this would be very frustrating to do with a live load hanging from one end. One slight move and the battery is crashing down full speed. Never had a heavy load hanging from it to test this theory though - it's just a guess based on pulling the cable out by hand.

I have not had that problem...I am able to get 3 trimmings out of the battery.

I've had this problem too. On mine, the button that releases the trimmer gets stuck to the side position and I have to "reset" the button to the middle position or the trimmer will not stay shut.

Yes, it is a safety feature. It's easy to accomplish, the Teho trimmers are very light and well balanced

Pretty much. I often set it off by accident just by picking it up or moving stuff around in the compartment I keep it in. I don't consider that a major drawback, though.

I believe it is just the angle that you hold it. It is a trimmer, so I don't think it is expected for it to be to the skin.

I have three 40v G-max 4 ah batteries and all were tight in the cultivator and difficult to remove to varying degrees. I found there are some rough edges in the battery compartment that can be smoothed down with a file and will allow the batteries to be more easily removed. They are in the top-front of the compartment and can be felt with your fingers. It only took a couple of minutes of filing.

Turn bottom cover slightly to start and stop razor, Don"t turn bottom cover all the way where battery comes out.

No thats why I purchased it since I had two good batteries. However I am not 100% happy with this unit. When you need to push hard on it when doing a plunge cut the blade turns under the pressure. I checked to make sure the blade was securley tightened in place and it was. Not a big problem just don'e push real hard on it.

Wow!! Just reading the post here.I guess I just stole the whole trimmer at Sears as a close-out for 31 bucks, Dizamn! I got lucky, Almost didnt buy it. Guess from what you all are saying I need to hunt for a cheap spare battery.

The u shape allows any size battery to be attached. If it had a back plate it'd get in the way. So yeah

I had no problem...try rearranging the battery and wire to get the best fit...

You have to take off the edge brush then take out the four screws in the bottom that hold the plastic base onto the unit. Once you remove the bottom, the battery is right there and easily accessible. When swapped out just put it back together and give it a good charge before you use it.

This has a trimmer, though I find that it's not very wide and protrudes at an odd angle from the razor. But it works.

I can do my back and front yard with no problem, however, if I let it sit for a couple of days after using it and don't plug it in it is kind of weak. So I plug the battery in every time I finish with what I am doing.

It Has the power , no problem.I have used these for years and step aside from the safety designs and use a 6" cutoff blade for such apps. I modified the round plate next to the motor to accommodate this. My next effort is to find a small cup brush to fit.I am surprised the manufacturer does not provide such attachments.I suspect it has to do with product liability.
