An electric corded grass trimmer featuring a red plastic motor housing and a matching D-loop top handle. The unit is constructed with a silver-tone aluminium telescopic shaft, allowing for height adjustment, and a black adjustable auxiliary handle. The motor housing at the base incorporates a black pivoting safety guard and a small red guide wheel designed for lawn edging. It is equipped with an integrated orange power cable of significant length, terminating in a standard UK 3-pin plug. A handwritten adhesive label on the motor housing reads 4 7 7 working, and a similar label is affixed to the shaft. The black auxiliary handle is reinforced with several wraps of off-white adhesive tape.


Condition report:

The trimmer shows signs of heavy outdoor use and is soiled with dried grass and garden debris throughout the motor housing and guard (photo 1). The red plastic casing is faded and scuffed in multiple areas. The black auxiliary handle has a repair consisting of peeling and discoloured off-white adhesive tape (photo 2). The guide wheel and the underside of the guard show significant abrasive wear and heavy dirt accumulation (photo 1). The orange power cable appears intact but is surface-soiled. The unit is noted as functional.
