USING THE TRIMMER 

The  Trimmer is a  dual-purpose tool. It is  designed to trim and shape tall,  hard-to-reach hedges and bushes 

with its extended reach and pivoting head. You can also adjust the Trimmer to trim and shape smaller hedges 

and shrubs near the ground without having a bend or stoop.

   

Please visit the Eckman website www.eckman.co.uk and watch the short demonstration video.
