I bought one recently and as soon as I lifted it off the shelf I thought it was quite heavy. After assembling it, which was a bit fiddly I found I needed the harness to support the weight as it was quite heavy at the clipper end. Changing the angle of the cutter was a bit fiddly too. By the time I got a fairly small area cut I had to stop to rest. The on switch needed steady pressure since if you relaxed slightly it would switch off which was annoying. However it cut very well, but I won't be using it very often.
Thanks for a neat demonstration. Please can yo do a video to show how to adjust the trimmer to the shorter version. I am having difficulty with the clip that releases the long handle bar. Thanks
Hi there, if you watch Part1 of this video, (the previous one to this), I show how to attach the middle extension section. (Link to video below) ruclips.net/video/LqxB90qcHK0/видео.html
Cheers for watching, nice to see people are still watching this vid after almost 3 years! Lidl still have these machines in from time to time, the last time they had them in, the unit also include a chainsaw attachment.
Great video mate and thanks for sharing. I got one for myself to use to trim my hedge and trees in the garden. I prefer using this type than the shorter type + ladder. I would advise you wear the safety goggles and if possible also take down the drying line whenever you use the trimmer.
YOU START BY PLANNING YOUR CABLE RUN SO THEY DON'T SNAG OR TRIP YOU UP. I HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE SHOULDER SLING, WHICH THIS BLOKE ISN'T USING. IT HELPS BEAR THE WEIGHT, BUT I FOUND GETTING THE RIGHT LENGTH OF LOOP NEEDS EXPERIMENTING IT APPEARS TO WORK BEST (FOR ME) AROUND NECK AND SHOULDER OPPOSITE TO WHICH HAND YOU USE ON THE TRIGGER. A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF BENDING FROM THE WAIST APPEARS NECESSARY TO GET A VERTICAL CUT DOWN TO GROUND LEVEL STILL REQUIRES MUCH ARM STRENGTH. I FIND WALKING BACKWARDS MEANS LESS SNAGGING OF THE BLADE ON THE GROWTH, ALTHOUGH MAKE SURE OF YOUR CLEAR SURFACE BEHIND YOU.
It takes a special skill to get the top of that hedge as raggedy looking as you have :)
Just bought one of these second hand. Thanks for sharing
Very good price for the quality u get, but is very heavy...
Thanks for the video. I got one today and would be using it to trim the top side of the hedge and 2 high bushes/shrubs

I've only used mine a couple of times, yes it is quite a heavy machine to hold, but I suppose it has to be by its design & length.

God that looks a nightmare to handle.
Why would you need a long reach hedge trimmer for that size hedge!?
He only needed a small pair of steps, took him ages for that bit!
@@777guarden I could have done it quicker but it would have made a very short video! 😉 Cheers for watching anyway, every view counts!
So he could stand 6ft away from it whilst doing it obviously 😂
Как-то не умело держит, первый раз что ли ?
