The trimmer is capable of operating at over 6,800 rpm, with an idle speed of 2,800 - 3,400 rpm. It utilizes an electronic ignition system with a rocker on/off switch and features a 0.025 in spark plug gap.

It is fitted with a diaphragm, all-position carburetor and uses an auto rewind starter system. The weight of the trimmer is 10 lbs without fuel or cutting attachment. It uses a specified cutting head to achieve a cutting path diameter of 16 inches. The trimmer also features a system that allows the use of attachments like an edger, cultivator, blower, brush cutter, pole saw, and hedge trimmer. The handle is adjustable for comfort and control.
