Accepted Answer

Hedge Hawg has a sliding latch with infinite adjustability.  Just takes two fingers to move the adjustment latch.

Question 4

Why is the Hedge Hawg so expensive?

Accepted Answer

The Hedge Hawg is made to last.  All components are made of Rust Resistant materials that are either Aluminum, galvanized or stainless steel and tough Neopreme and Nylon.  All nuts are nylock so they don't come loose.  The Hedge Hawg should last decades and is rebuildable.  Even the belt is military grade.   Good materials cost more.  Sure we could have made it from plastic but you'd be throwing it away and buying new ones every year.  Most of the expense however, is due to product liability insurance, you can thank the lawyers for that.

Question 6

What safety consideration should I be aware of?

Accepted Answer

- Firstly, your brain is the best safety device you have.  Always maintain situational awareness when operating any machine.
- Watch for low hanging electrical wires.  You have a metal pipe strapped to your back which is needed to hold up your machine, you don't want it to touch any electrical wires
- Watch your step.  Tripping while operating a machine with or without the Hedge Hawg can be dangerous
- Keep your hands clear of the cutting blades on your machine.
- Always wear your personal protective gear such as gloves, safety glasses, boots, hearing protection, hats/helmets, sunscreen, etc.
- Always watch for vehicular traffic, mowers, cars, trucks, pedestrians, etc
