Gas Powered Hedge Trimmers
While it comes to maintaining and grooming a garden, trimming shrubs and hedges are as important as planting the right plants, flowers and lawns. Trimming and shaping the hedges at the right time and right place complement the texture and beauty of the landscape design. For this purpose, garden hedge trimmers are most sought after equipment, which can be operated either manually with pruning shears or automatically with powered hedge trimmers.
For using conventional pruning shears, familiarity with the garden tool is very important to ensure safety. Whereas with a powered garden hedge trimmer, even a beginner can use it by following the manufacturer's guidelines. Based on the operation mode, powered hedge trimmers are basically of two types, namely, electronic and gas. Each of these two models has its own sets of benefits and drawbacks. For example, an electric model requires cord for power connection, while a gas model is cordless hedge trimmer that is suitable for covering large garden areas.
An Overview of Hedge Trimmers Powered By Gas..
These trimmers are used for trimming branches, with a diameter of inch or more. The blade type may be reciprocating or non-reciprocating. The former consists of two blades that work in opposite directions, which in turn allow branch cutting smoothly, giving a clean cut surface. Non-reciprocating blade, on the other hand, consists of only one blade and gives a shredded appearance.
Some models of these trimmers have translucent fuel tanks, so that the status of the fuel can be monitored prior to starting the trimming process. Doing so, you can make sure that fuel does not run out in the middle of the trimming process. Whatever be the type, they should be operated properly by following basic tree trimming tips and using safety gears (gloves and protective goggles).
Pros and Cons
In comparison to electric hedge trimmers, gas powered ones offer more power for heavy duty trimming. As mentioned earlier, these are cordless, thus advantageous for using over large gardens. For cutting the branches having a large diameter, most garden enthusiasts prefer the gas hedge trimmers, rather than using electronic ones that have low cut capacity. Also, gas trimmers can be used safely in wet environment, which is not so in case of an electronic type.
Speaking about the cons of these trimmers, they are heavier and more expensive than the electrical models. Also, they generate more noise and vibration than the electronic types. Another drawback is the smelly exhaust during operation.
Buying a Gas Powered Hedge Trimmer
Depending upon the size of the garden and requirements, you can select a correct gas powered hedge trimmer. While purchasing a gas powered one, make sure that you check the diameter of the cutting head, weight, blade size, blade type, engine types and safety of the device. For using in all hedging types, it is better to select longer blades (about 18 inch). You can shop around and compare the different models from various brands. You can also refer to the customer reviews for getting an idea about the best brands. Buying the correct trimmer will help you in performing the trimming task easily and quickly.
