Spectrum DM26C Curved-Shaft Petrol Grass and Weed-Trimmer
Put the final touches to your lawn, garden and other outdoor areas the fast, low-effort way with the powerful but easy handling Spectrum DM26C Petrol Grass-Trimmer!
Great for use along lawn edges, borders, trimming up around trees, bushes and general garden use where things are getting out of control. Where you have heavier growth like brambles to deal with check out the DM26L and DM26H models.
Supplying that power is a high-performance, 25.4cc, air-cooled two-stroke engine that develops an impressive 1hp, and features a capacious 0.65-litre tank for extended runtimes between refuelling stops.
The curved-shaft design of the Spectrum DM26C gives you the best possible angle of attack for mowing and strimming, and works with an ergonomic ‘loop-and-bar’ handle configuration and a remarkably low machine weight of 5kg to minimise operator fatigue.
The class-leading Spectrum DM26C Curved-Shaft Petrol Grass-Trimmer is supplied with a twin-line cutter head, which has a generous 34cm cutting path for superior productivity. A bump-feed system does away with the need to attend directly to the head when the cord needs to be advanced.
Always use protective clothing, especially eye goggles
