Pole length

The length of the bar usually refers to the total length of the brush attachment or saw blade (see Attachments) supplied with the hedge trimmer. The longer the tire, the longer the cut that the tool can make at a time. In general, it is believed that a short length is typical for entry-level tools, while professional ones are equipped with larger attachments. However, here you need to take into account that the choice depends not only on the scale, but also on the specifics of the intended work: long attachments are less maneuverable and less suitable for topiary trimming of bushes. In addition, the cost of a brush cutter also largely depends on this parameter.

Pole length

Overall length of pole saw (see "Type").

The height that can be reached with a pole saw from the ground depends on this indicator, without the use of additional devices (stools, benches, stairs, etc.). In modern models, the length of the rod can reach 4 m — this is enough to handle even fairly tall trees, and a longer length would make the unit too heavy and bulky.

When choosing according to this parameter, note that a too long rod affects not only the weight and cost of the pole saw, but also can be inconvenient when working at low heights. Therefore, it is worth looking for a "long-range" tool only if most of the work is planned to be carried out at high altitudes. However, some models of pole saws allow you to adjust the length of the rod in a certain range, which makes it possible to adjust the tool to specific working conditions. For such models, this paragraph indicates the largest value of the length.

Power

Hedge trimmer motor power expressed in watts.

The performance of the tool primarily depends on the engine power, and this concept includes both the overall speed of work and the ability to cope with difficult tasks like cutting thick branches. Therefore, when choosing, it is necessary to take into account both the general volumes of the planned work and the material with which you will have to deal. For example, a powerful hedge trimmer may be needed even if it is only a few metres of hedge — if the branches in this hedge are quite thick. On the other hand, "more powerful" does not always mean "better" — after all, this parameter affects the weight, energy consumption (or fuel consumption) and the price of the tool.

If we talk about specific numbers, then the optimal power for most household tasks will be about 400-600 watts. Battery models (see "Power"), designed for small amounts of work in simple conditions, may have less power, and in gasoline models (see ibid.), on the contrary, it can reach 900 – 1000 watts.

In addition to watts, power can also be expressed in horsepower; this designation is traditionally used in gasoline engines. 1 HP approximately equal to 735 watts.

Adjustable attachment

The cutting part of the device is fixed on a special swivel hinge with the ability to change position in one plane. By changing the angle of inclination of the blade, the operator can adjust the tool to perform a particular task. Adjustment of an inclination of a nozzle allows to increase considerably safety of work. As a rule, the saw blade (tire) has a fixed value of working positions, which are limited by the angle of inclination of the nozzle.

Weight

The total weight of the brush cutter. Usually indicated for a fully equipped tool, with an attachment installed and, in the case of a petrol engine, a full tank of fuel; however, there may be exceptions. Usually, the relevant data is indicated in the official documentation.

This parameter is important, first of all, taking into account the fact that the tool during work will have to be kept on weight most of the time. Accordingly, the lighter the brush cutter, the longer you can work with it without interruption, the less often you have to rest. On the other hand, a large weight also has its advantages: a heavy tool is more stable and does not “tear out of hand” as much under high loads on the nozzle.
