A hand-guided garden, forestry and/or construction working apparatus has an inactive state, an active state and a variable setting, as well as an apparatus operator control element which can be activated by a user. In the inactive state, the garden, forestry and/or construction working apparatus is designed to be transferred into the active state triggered by activation of the apparatus operator control element, and in the active state the garden, forestry and/or construction working apparatus is designed to change the setting and not to be transferred into the inactive state triggered by activation of the apparatus operator control element.

The present application provides a handheld plant trimming apparatus. The handheld plant trimming apparatus, in one aspect, includes a wand having a longitudinal axis. The wand includes a wand inlet tube defining a void and an elongate slot, an outlet port having a through bore parallel to the wand longitudinal axis and an outlet bore where the outlet bore is in fluid communication with the void, and a handle. A cutting element is contained in the wand inlet tube and coupled to a motor to provide rotative force to the cutting element. A drum is in fluid communication with the wand and a vacuum pulls plant parts that are cut by the cutting element from the wand to the drum.

A cutter apparatus comprising a frame having a mounting member connectable to a piece of prime mover equipment; a cutter assembly connected to the frame, the cutter assembly comprising a support member having a first end; a drive shaft having a first end journaled to the first end of the support member; and a plurality of discrete cutter members stacked on the drive shaft so as to be engaged with an adjacent one of the cutter members, each of the cutter members having at least one cutting edge; and a drive assembly connected to the drive shaft in a way that activation of the drive assembly causes the drive shaft to rotate and thereby rotate the cutter members. The frame may have a base and an extension arm pivotally connected to the base. The support member may be pivotally connected to the extension arm.

A selection device for pruning machines is designed to select branches or sprouts for pruning performed by the pruning machine. The selection device includes at least one fixing portion adapted for removably fixing to a pruning machine. The selection device includes at least one actuator designed to exert a force upon the branches and sprouts, thus moving them to cause the branches or sprouts selected for the pruning to be arranged in correspondence to cutting elements provided in the pruning machine, hence at least partially preserving the other branches or sprouts from pruning. A frame is designed to at least partially support the at least one actuator. At least one regulating mechanism is fixed to the frame, is associated with at least one actuator, and is designed to regulate at least the direction along which a force is exerted by at least one associated actuator.

A hedge-trimming device is provided. The device is comprised of a moveable frame with at least one wheel that allows the frame to travel forward, backward, left, and right. The frame preferably has a vertical frame member comprised of at least one spinning blade that is powered by at least one motor. The blade may be positioned on the vertical frame member such that it is parallel with vertical frame member. As a result, the device can be moved left and right wherein the blade produces a straight cut along the front surface of a hedge or other greenery.

A blade has a flat body with a first side, a second side, an aperture extending between the first side and the second side, and an outer peripheral edge. The aperture has a central axis defining an axis of rotation. A plurality of teeth is formed along a portion of the outer peripheral edge forming a cutting edge. Each of the teeth has a tip that is a radial outermost part of the flat body in a plane defined by the tip and the central axis of the aperture. The cutting edge has a first end and a second end. The distance between each tip of the teeth increases from the first end of the cutting edge to the second end thereof. The distance between each tip and the central axis increases from the first end of the cutting edge to the second end thereof.
