For small areas or uneven terrain where a traditional mower cannot reach, the mini-mower mode is ideal.

5.5. Command Feed System

The proprietary Command Feed system allows for automatic line advancement with the push of a button.

• When more line is needed, simply press the Command Feed button located on the handle.
• The tool will briefly stop, advance the line, and then resume operation when the trigger is pressed again.

7. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your WORX GT Revolution.

• Cleaning: After each use, remove the battery and clean the tool, especially the cutting head, guard, and wheels, from grass clippings and debris. Use a damp cloth; do not use harsh chemicals or immerse the tool in water.
• Line Spool Replacement: When the cutting line runs out, replace the spool. To do this, remove the old spool by pressing the tabs on the spool cap and lifting it off. Insert a new pre-wound spool, ensuring the line is threaded through the eyelet, and then replace the cap.
