Trimmer comes from the English word and literally means "to put in order" or "to cut". The very first such tool appeared in 1972. It was invented by a businessman who sowed the lawn near his house and figured out how to cut the grass without damaging the trees. Soon the trimmer was used in production.
This is an indispensable garden tool for cutting lawns and neatly trimming edges.
The trimmer can handle places that are difficult to reach. Due to their light weight, they can work for a long time without feeling tired in their hands. It is easy to store and does not take up much space. You can buy it in special garden stores, where they will tell you in detail what a trimmer is and help you make the right choice.
The device has a long handle, at one end of which is the engine, and at the other - the cutting mechanism. There are two types of trimmers: gasoline and electric. To find out which trimmer is best, you need to familiarize yourself with the characteristics of each type.
Whatsuch an electric trimmer is easy to guess. Can be mains operated, produces little noise, does not require fuel, is considered an environmentally friendly device, as it does not produce exhaust gases. But it is strictly forbidden to work with him in the rain or after the rain, so that there is no electric shock. At the same time, the electric trimmer has little power. It should be allowed to rest more often to avoid overheating, and the engine must be constantly fueled or charged.
What is a gasoline trimmer, you can find out by carefully studying the instructions. This device works autonomously, it only needs to be refueled. The gas trimmer has many attachments, which expands its capabilities. At the same time, it makes a lot of noise and has harmful exhaust emissions. When choosing a gasoline trimmer, you should take into account that it needs a supply of fuel and good engine care. Which trimmer to choose is up to you.
Before starting the mechanism, you must read the instructions. If you follow the rules of operation, the tool will last a long time. After use, clean the trimmer and store it in a dry place free of dirt and dust.
Trimmers differ from each other in cutting heads. At the end there may be a knife or fishing line. There are also trimmers with a joint alternating use of a knife and fishing line. The handle is T-shaped and D-shaped. The T-shaped is used for mowing large areas, and the D-shaped is very convenient for working in hard-to-reach places, along paths, near bushes.
Trimmers of various types and sizes have found application in other areas of human activity. We reviewed this device above as a lawn mower. There is also a trimmer for shaving the mustache, beard and bikini area. It can be used as a regulator of chandeliers and plafonds. It also happens in the form of an electric capacitor, and it is also widely used in shipbuilding to raise the engine.
