IMPORTANT NOTICE: In the process of trying to fit the trimmer in its original box, I tried to see if the handle could be detached. I realized it didn’t and tried to reclose the handle hatch. It did not close properly (see photos 7-9). The handle is still intact. And the plug, motoring/wiring still works properly. The only drawback is that the lime green button (rotational lock button - #14 in manual) that allows you to rotate the edge of the handle will NOT turn. I tried fixing it but had no success. However, the handle aligns with the rest of trimmer when in use. Everything else should work okay. PACKAGING: The original LawnMaster box will be included with the trimmer inside and will be boxed in a shipping box (the same way I received it). INSTRUCTIONS: In the last photo, the middle of the trimmer can be detached. All you must do is reattach it. The only other parts that need to be attached are the assist handle, debris guard and flower guard. The instructions in the manual are straight forward. Also, the trimmer did NOT come with an extension cord. The trimmer spool (plastic line) can also be adjusted to your liking on the bottom, if I recall correctly.
