Worx GT Frequently Asked Questions

Does this come with a battery and charger?

This is our tool-only version, which does not include either a battery or charger. Tool- only models allow you to take full advantage of our Power Share platform to save money by using the 20V Worx batteries and chargers you already own.

I’M REALLY TALL/SHORT. CAN I ADAPT THE 20V GT 3.0 STRING TRIMMER / EDGER TO MY HEIGHT?

Absolutely! The 20V Worx GT 3.0 is designed to be fully adjustable from the telescoping shaft, multi-position auxiliary handle, to the pivoting trimmer head. Don’t contort yourself to fit your trimmer, let the Worx GT 3.0 adapt to fit you.

What is CommandFeed and how do I use it?

Worx GT has a history of changing the game when it comes to feeding trimming line, and the Revolution is no exception. Bumping to advance the line became a thing of the past with auto-feeding line on the first GT, and now, CommandFeed puts the control at your fingertips. Your trimmer is equipped with CommandFeed. To efficiently feed the line, just press the CommandFeed button as needed while the machine is running until you hear the ‘clattering’ noise of the line cutting. The line will automatically feed to the perfect length for trimming. The motor will shut off when pressing the CommandFeed button and will restart when the button is released.

How heavy is the trimmer?

The trimmer only weighs 4.6lbs without the battery installed. As light as this is, the ergonomic design ensures the weight is evenly distributed between the main and auxiliary handle to make trimming a comfortable, easy-to-manage experience for anyone.

WHAT IS THE HORSEPOWER RATING OF WORX LITHIUM TOOLS?

Battery powered DC motors are not rated for horsepower as output power is only measured with gas or induction AC (corded) motors. Worx lithium powered products were designed with sufficient power to get the job done quickly & easily.

HOW DO I ADJUST THE LENGTH OF THE GT?

On the shaft of the trimmer is a black locking collar with an orange clip. Open the orange clip and slide the handle and cutting head apart to desired length. Close the orange clip to secure the trimmer shaft.

HOW DO I ADJUST THE AUXILIARY HANDLE?

You can adjust the angle of the auxiliary handle as easily as pushing a button. Where the handle meets the shaft of the GT 3.0, there’s an orange button. Push the button and move the handle to the desired position. Release the button to lock it in place.

HOW DO I ADJUST THE ANGLE OF THE CUTTING HEAD?

Place the trimmer head on the ground and put your foot on the cutting head. Lift or lower the handle to your preferred angle while stabilizing the head on the ground. The 20V Worx GT 3.0 String Trimmer / Edger will click through the positions. Once you’ve found the perfect angle for you, you’re ready to get back at it!

HOW DO I CONVERT THE GT FROM TRIMMER TO EDGER?

Converting your trimmer from Trimmer to Edger is quick and easy. To turn the cutting head for edging mode, look for the black locking collar and orange clip on the shaft of the trimmer. Open the orange clip and twist the shaft/handle. For trimming, twist the handle so it is perpendicular to the cutting head. For edging, twist the handle parallel to the cutting head. When the handle is in the desired position, close the orange clip.

HOW DO I CONVERT THE TRIMMER TO MINI MOWER MODE?

This model does not have a mini-mower mode.

CAN OTHER CUTTING LINE BE USED WITH THE 20V GT 3.0 STRING TRIMMER / EDGER?

Our Double Helix line is specially designed to work with the Worx 20V GT 3.0 CommandFeed, and give you a quicker and more efficient cut to help maintain a healthy, professionally groomed lawn. With the purchase of your Worx GT 3.0, you’re automatically enrolled in our Free Spools for Life program. You get free spools pre-loaded with 10 feet of line any time you need them, just cover the shipping and processing for each package of six. (Order here) If you decide to use traditional line, the Worx GT 3.0 can accept standard 0.065” cutting line found at any garden or home center and can be wound around our empty spool cartridges. Refer to your owner’s manual for important details about how to wind the line on the spools and keep in mind that with conventional cutting line, CommandFeed may not work as expected.

Does it come pre-assembled?

Each trimmer comes with some minor assembly required, which may take up to 5 minutes per tool. A step-by-step instruction manual is included along with easy assembly instructions. Please have a #2 Phillips head screwdriver on hand when assembling your GT 3.0.

Can I use the tool without the safety guard? I have experience with other trimmers and will be the only one using it.

The safety guard is an essential part of the tool. Not only does it keep you safe from any debris from the trimming/edging, it also helps regulate the length of the cutting line. Without the safety guard, your Worx GT 3.0 will not operate properly and you are at risk for injury.

ARE THERE ANY PRECAUTIONS I SHOULD FOLLOW WHEN USING THE WORX 20V GT 3.0 STRING TRIMMER / EDGER?

Carefully review the owner’s manual for all safety information and guidelines for using the Worx GT 3.0. Follow safety precautions while using any power tools – including wearing safety eyewear, gloves, appropriate shoes & clothing, and keeping hair tied back. See the owner’s manual for complete safety instructions and details. Mini mower mode is offered on our 20V GT Revolution trimmers.
