How do I maintain my battery?
We recommend fully charging the battery prior to its first use to ensure the battery will have its' full power. Avoid completely depleting the battery when using your tool. This will cut down the overall power capacity overtime. Also, avoid overcharging the battery, this will ruin the battery and can cause the battery to become defective. Once the battery is fully charged, please take it out and unplug the charger. We also recommend that the battery be charged at least once every 6 months when being stored away.
What is the difference between standard batteries and the PRO batteries?
The Power Share™ PRO series of WORX high-capacity batteries are designed for optimal performance and come standard with the WORX NITRO product offering. These batteries utilize an intelligent battery management system that monitors each cell to enhance, power, performance, and runtime. Innovative, thermoplastic material encases each cell to pull heat away and maximize the cell’s performance, resulting in longer runtime. 360° cell protection provides increased security against vibration, drops, and water intrusion. This full-wrap design limits the influence that a compromised cell can have over the rest of the battery pack.
What is the difference between a brushless motor and a standard motor?
Brushless motors are more efficient, run 50% longer, are 25% more powerful, and have 10% longer life. Plus, they're smaller and lighter than traditional motors, keeping Nitro tools compact and maneuverable.
What's the Free Spools for Life offer? How do I get them?
With the purchase of one of our qualifying trimmers and registering the tool, you are automatically enrolled in our Free Spools for Life program. The spools are free, we just ask that you cover the shipping and handling of $9.91 (plus sales tax, if applicable) for each package of six. To order please visit: https://www.worx.com/free-trimmer-spools-for-life-wa0010.html. Note: Not all of the trimmers qualify such as WG183, WG184, and WG186.
My spool appears to be melted and/or keeps breaking. Why?
Our spools are biodegradable and goes bad over time. They need to be kept in a cool dry place. If they are sitting in the heat, the lines will break easily, and they will appear to be melted and stick together.
What is the 30-day guarantee?
If you decide your tool isn’t right for you, we offer a 30-day Money Back Guarantee from date of receipt (less shipping and handling).
Where is WORX manufactured?
WORX tools are designed in Italy and manufactured in Suzhou, China.
What is the TOOL ONLY option? Will my model come with a battery and charger?
Most of our tools come with the battery and battery charger you need to operate the tool. If the model number includes the “.9” at the end, this means the model you are looking at is the bare tool without the battery and charger. This option allows customers who already own our batteries and chargers to Power Share and buy the tool only.
You may click on the drop-down "What's in the box" to see what comes with your tool.
