Electric trimmer overview

The trimmer is a modern version of the traditional lawn mower, which is used to care for the territory, where there are many different obstacles. Here there are primarily flower beds, trees, benches and other landscaping objects.

To make the right decision when choosing this equipment, you must take into account a number of criteria.

The operation of any technology depends on such an element as the engine. Trimmers are equipped with different power units, among which are gasoline, diesel and electric. Of greatest interest are models with an electric drive, due to the presence of their special advantages.

Speaking in more detail about advantages of the similar equipment, it is possible to allocate the following:

• Environmental friendliness. This property is due to the fact that during operation the trimmer does not emit harmful exhausts;
• Comfortable working conditions. This is achieved by equipping such devices with a system for damping noise and vibration;
• Lack of difficulties during preparation of the device for work. The owner of the trimmer eliminates the need to refill the machine and prepare a special fuel mixture;
• Durability. This is due to the fact that electrical models do not need to stop in order to perform refueling;
• Big power. From this we can conclude that the electric trimmer has increased productivity;
• Easy engine start. To turn on the power unit just pressing a button.

At the same time, similar equipment has several disadvantages:

• Small radius of movement of the operator. This is due to the fact that the network cable has a limited length. This problem can be solved by using an extension cord or installing a battery in the device;
• The inconvenience in the work created by the power cable. Given that the operator ensures that the process is carried out properly, he may inadvertently catch on the wire.

Other important advantages of electric trimmers include reasonable price.

Grass cutting is not the only task that can be solved with the help of such equipment. In addition, these trimmers can be used to form a beautiful crown of trees and bushes.

Having such a device as an electric trimmer at its disposal, it becomes much easier to perform the operation of decorative cutting, since this is promoted by its highest mobility, in which no other type of garden equipment can compete with it.

The operator has the opportunity to use it anywhere, regardless of the distance of the area that needs to be processed. At the same time, mowing large volumes of grass with such a trimmer can bring some discomfort, which is associated with a rather significant weight of this device. Although its mass is only few poundshowever, the operator will not be able to carry it all day on his shoulder.

This device works according to the following principle: first, the engine turns on, which causes the cutting element to spin, and the latter, entering into interaction with the plant, begins to cut it.

The cutting tool is placed on the end of the steel tube located in the trimmer head. It is thanks to such a simple device that this equipment is small, lightweight and does not create problems in operation.

Technical features of the device

The performance of the device is largely influenced by where exactly is the engine. The lower location of the power unit creates the opportunity to minimize the size of the trimmer. Thanks to this, the operator has to spend less time and effort on processing the site.

Such dimensions of the apparatus can be explained by the fact that there is no transmission mechanism between the cutting tools and the engine. Therefore, it is not surprising that such models are offered at a lower price than trimmers having an upper motor arrangement.

Although electric trimmers have a lot of advantages, at the same time they also have disadvantages. Due to the fact that they have a small capacity, these devices are suitable for solving only certain problems. The role of the cutting tool in such devices is performed by a special fishing line.

She usually has diameter equal to 1.2-1.6 mm. Based on this information, it can be concluded that an apparatus having a lower engine arrangement can be used to cut only fine soft grass.

Similar trimmers are recommended for cutting grass in places that a regular lawn mower could not reach.

Another limitation that a trimmer has with a lower location of the motor should be called the impossibility of treating areas with wet grass. If you still try to cut it, then there is a risk that this will lead to a short circuit, failure of the device, and in some cases, an electric shock operator.

True, it is desirable to mow the lawn regularly, otherwise with tall grass he may not cope.

I purchased the model Huter GET-1200SL, but in the end from it some disappointments. The mower did not work long, a month later the screw fastening the upper and lower tubes flew out. As a result, the device fell apart for two. The automatic line feed function does not work. It takes about 5 minutes. Not the best quality plastic, which quickly breaks. Therefore, I do not advise taking this electrocos.
