Lawn trimmer

Abstract

A lawn trimmer (100) comprising: a powered cutting tool (112) comprising a motor operably coupled to a rotatable cutter holder (120), the rotatable cutter holder (120) being operably coupled to a cutting piece (122). The rotatable cutter holder (120) has a forward side and first and second lateral sides. A guard (116) is configured to extend substantially from the first lateral side to the second lateral side around the front side of the rotatable cutter holder (120). The guard (116) is configured to provide space for the cutting piece (122) to rotate freely within the guard (116) and is an apertured barrier that provides a protective buffer between the cutting piece (122) and a ground surface, thereby preventing engagement of the rotatable cutter holder (120) with the ground surface when the powered cutting tool (112) is translated over the ground surface.
