Abstract
A trimmer having a pivotally adjustable handle tube for selectively changing the cutting angle of a trimming cord with respect to the handle tube, thereby permitting the trimming of grass, brush, weeds and the like from underneath normally inaccessible or difficult to access areas. The trimmer comprises an elongated handle tube having a handle at an upper end for grasping by an operator and pivotally mounted at a lower end to a motor housing for carrying a motor which rapidly rotates a trimming cord. The handle tube and motor housing support at least one locking pin for releasable engagement between selected teeth of a rack to releasably fix the angular position of the handle tube relative to the motor housing.
