Trimming device with a reel protector

Abstract

The invention pertains to a trimming device with a motor-driven cutting tool that is rotatable about a shaft and with a shell-like reel protector ( 100 ), wherein said trimming device can be operated with different cutting tools. In order to achieve a simple adaptation of the reel protector to the respective tool used, the invention proposes that the reel protector ( 100 ) includes a first shell ( 10 ) that is rigidly connected to the trimming device and a second shell ( 11 ) that can be displaced relative to the first shell ( 10 ) in the direction (A) of the shaft of the cutting tool.

Description

Technical field

[0001] The invention relates to a dressing device, which has a motor-driven cutter and a shell-shaped reel protector, and the cutter can rotate around an axis. Background technique

[0002] Those skilled in the art are familiar with various embodiments of dressing devices. These dressing devices mainly include a motor for driving a tool rotatably supported on a shaft, preferably an internal combustion engine or an electric motor. The motor is preferably spaced apart from the knife and arranged in a housing with a handle that enables the user to hold and manipulate the dressing device. The drive shaft extends from the motor through a shaft tube provided on the housing to reach the tool. If so required, an intermediate gear may be provided at the end of the shaft tube so that the rotation axis of the tool is arranged substantially vertical when the shaft tube is held in the inclined position.

[0003] In particular, a saw blade, a serrated knife, or a rotary dressin...
