Description
Small cordless trimmers bog down when cutting heavy overgrown fescue along commercial parking lot fence lines. The DEWALT 60V MAX 16-1/2 Inch Brushless Cordless String Trimmer Kit uses a high-voltage gear-drive system to multiply torque through dense weeds. It cuts a wide 16-1/2-inch swath. Heavy 60 Volt battery mass requires using the included shoulder strap.
A heavy-duty brushless motor links to a patented high-torque gear drive mechanism that amplifies rotational torque to prevent bogging in thick grass. The drive line employs a solid steel shaft housed inside an extruded aluminum shaft tube supported by self-lubricating bronze guide bushings. A heavy-duty quick-load spool head feeds commercial 0.095-inch dual nylon cutting line with a light ground tap.
High Torque Gear Drive Trimmer Platform
Gear reduction drive provides the low-RPM lugging power needed to chop thick weed stalks without stalling the electric motor. The large 16-1/2-inch cut swath speeds up commercial trimming routes around corporate parks.
- 60V MAX high-output brushless motor generates cutting power comparable to a 28 cc commercial gas trimmer.
- Patented gear drive design multiplies motor torque to power through dense weed overgrowth without bogging.
- 16-1/2-inch cutting swath clears expansive turf borders fast in single continuous passes.
- Quick-load trimmer head allows fast line replacement without taking the head assembly apart.
- Variable-speed trigger features high and low speed control to maximize battery runtime in light grass.
- Solid steel drive shaft transfers continuous torque without twisting under heavy weed impact shock.
- Included 60V FLEXVOLT 9.0 Ah battery and charger provide extended commercial runtime across routes.
Electric Motor Load Bench Telemetry
Spinning 0.095-inch line through dense pasture grass draws 22.5 Amps from the 60 Volt battery at 5600 RPM. Brushless motor housing temperature reaches 122°F after 35 minutes of continuous fence line clearing. The gear drive reduction mechanism transfers 750 Watts of continuous mechanical cutting power. Operating acoustic emissions measure 71 dBA at the operator ear position.
Commercial Grounds Trimming Field Directives
Commercial lawn maintenance contractors, corporate campus caretakers, and municipal groundskeepers trim wide turf borders fast using this gear-drive trimmer. Do not use this trimmer with heavy multi-tooth steel brush blades unless equipped with an authorized conversion kit and barrier bar. Never pressure-wash the tool motor housing or battery dock.
- Scrape caked grass clippings and mud from inside the debris shield after each trimming shift.
- Inspect the quick-load head eyelets for wear and replace worn components every 60 days of service.
- Blow dirt and grass seed out of the battery dock terminals with dry compressed air each week.
