An important role in this matter is the registration of lawns and lawns . To care for them, there are many adaptations, one of which is a trimmer. Many prefer their electric grass trimmer, which can be operated from the network.
Tips for choosing an electric grass trimmer
The choice of an electric grass trimmer is largely determined by what area of the site is to be processed and in what state it is. It happens that in addition to lawn grass on it can grow and weeds in greater or less quantity.
There are two main types of electric grass trimmer, which include:
- Trimmer with the engine, located in its lower part. It is characterized by a small power, which is 300-400 watts. Such a tool is suitable for processing small areas with a size of up to 2-3 weave. He is able to cope with the processing of beds, flower beds and areas planted with lawn grass. The device is small in weight, which makes it convenient to use. Also, the benefits of the trimmer include the ability to work at any angle convenient for you. This allows you to get to the grass growing in the most inaccessible places. Especially suitable for processing flowerbeds with decorative flowers growing on them are electric mini grass trimmers. With their help, you can accurately cut grass between flowers or seedlings, which is achieved due to the small diameter of the rotation of the cutting line, which is up to 2 mm. When using a trimmer with a lower engine location, it should be ruled out immediately after it has been raining or when there is dew.
- Trimmer with engine located at the top. It is designed to handle complex neglected areas, for which, apart from the growth of grass, the presence of other mixed vegetation is also characteristic. This is due to the fact that this trimmer is much more powerful than the instruments with the engine at the bottom. The power can reach up to 1400 watts. The disadvantage of the device is its considerable weight, but it is compensated by its strength, reliability and durability. The trimmer is able to cope with such obstacles when performing the task of shearing grass, like dew or wet soil. The device has a cutting line with a fairly thick diameter - from 2 mm or more. In addition, it is possible to install replaceable metal disk knives, which significantly expands the area of their use. This makes it possible not only to cut thick dried weeds, but even thin shoots of shrubs.
The design of the trimmer implies the presence of an element such as a metal shaft, the function of which is the transfer of rotational motion from the motor to the cutting tool. It is located in a bearing rod, which can be of two types:
- The curved rod for which the cable is applied. It is suitable only for cutting tools in the form of a mowing head with a cord. Such a bar is more convenient to use, but less reliable;
- straight bar - it can be used for various cutting tools: for both the mower head and the disc metal knife. The design is very strong and reliable.
Thus, you can choose for yourself the best electric grass trimmer, depending on the purpose for which you are going to apply it.
