It makes no sense to try to give the given shapes and volumes to garden / park plantings with a simple pruner. This is ineffective and labor-intensive. It is best to use a variety of hedge trimmers to accomplish these tasks. Manufacturers offer four types of them:

  • mechanical,
  • rechargeable,
  • gasoline,
  • electrical.

Bosch is one of the manufacturers of electric and battery cutters. This German brand, familiar to many, began production at the end of the nineteenth century. The manufacturer focuses on innovative technologies that pursue the goal of environmental friendliness of the manufactured goods. The strength of the cutting parts of the mechanism is explained by the use of laser diamond sharpening in production.

Different engines

Cordless views provide more freedom of movement. It is also possible to regulate energy use thanks to the Syneon Chip technology.

How hedge trimmers work

Husqvarna brush cutter

The brushcutter works on the principle of manual garden shears. The blades of the Bosch device are 2 metal toothed blades, located on top of each other. Branches are cut when the canvases move in different directions relative to the longitudinal axis. That is, the electric motor drives a pair of large gear wheels, and they move the blades back and forth. This movement alternately opens (the branch hits) and closes (the branch is cut off) the cutouts on the canvases.

Important! For safety, the mechanism works only when the buttons are turned on with both hands. This means that hand injury is excluded.In addition, the cutting blades are protected by a very strong plastic shield.

For optimal operation of the mechanism, follow the instructions. She demands:

  • Ensure that there are no foreign objects and structures in the work area. These can be metal, concrete or other objects that can damage the cutting blades.
  • If the device is electric, be sure to throw the wire over your shoulder and monitor its safety.
  • Take a stable position. The blades of the machine should be directed away from you. Grasp the handles with both hands.

Advice! It is recommended to start work from the tops of the bushes, then, moving from bottom to top, cut the sides. For accuracy and proper formation of landings, you can pull the rope.

Pros and cons

Rules for choosing a hedge trimmer "Bosch"

The Bosch cordless hedgecutter is desirable if:

  • cultivated areas are far from the energy source;
  • small amounts of work.

If you need to remove thick branches or work in large mowing areas, it is better to choose the network options (if there is a power source nearby).

If there is a need to cut tall plants, then it makes sense to purchase scissors with telescopic handles (with a bar).
