Can the blade be adjusted to be perpendicular to the pole for "blind" topping of tall shrubs?

Yes, it can go from straight to a pretty large angle. I have never adjusted mine to 90 degrees, but I have adjusted it to almost that angle and it works fine. The motor is out there on the cutting end, so the only thing that has to bend is the wiring (or some sliding contacts) to the motor which is relatively easy as opposed to bending a drive shaft like on a weed eater and other devices where the motor is on the handle.

Yes, if you mean, can it be adjusted to be 90 degrees or like an "L" shape.

I find that the cutter goes from 90 degrees down to 10 degrees, and that if you tilt the whole unit another 10 degrees or more, then you can get 90 or more degrees tilt. The unit is heavy, but tolerable... johns91@astound.net

Yes, it is very adjustable. It is a little heavy especially when extended. A very well constructed tool.

If a knife blade sticks out, just angle it instead of having it stick straight up. Then the blade will not be above the top of the base.

Yes. It adjusts vertically and has limited adjustments for angling to the side.

Not to my knowledge; however, I haven't needed one. I have a 14 foot high Cedar Bush and used a ladder to trim it . . . the blade's length made so easy to trim I couldn't believe it. I have a small chain saw with a pole I've used that works well so don't need one for the shrub trims. Hope this helps!

Most definitely, but you probably need to go slowly if the diameter of the bush is beyond 1/2 and inch.

It can be done but it's awkward due to the length of the pole. If you need to do this type cutting frequently a more traditionally sized saw is a better bet.

If I were to venture a guess I would say yes as you can tighten the blade housing to accommodate some width adjustment. On the other hand, I would not recommend it.

I use a cane to get up with.If it was much taller,it would be hard to reach for weeding

Yes, you can adjust the angle a bit, anywhere from closed to a bit past a 90 degree angle. It does not open flat though.

The height is adjusted with a telescoping pole and a pin. There is also a threaded knob that secures the pole. This is not the area that failed on my stands.

The cutting portion of the blade is 6" in length, 2 1/2" in width. Unless the shrubbery is small in area, with thin branches, it is not recommended for that use.

Yes. The tool tray can rotate 360 degrees around the pole and be put in any position.

It should, as long as you don't set the blades too low; you can adjust the height you're cutting at.

I am so sorry, but I'm not sure. I had the builder who built my screened porch put it up...the downrod is only a couple of inches, but I don't have an answer for you, and I don't have the box any longer. But from the looks of it, I think it can, (operative word there is "think") and the blade shape wouldn't interfere.

Yes, the manual says it can be installed up to an 18 degree slope. I would guess that the angle could be increased with a longer downrod to get proper clearance for the blades.

The blades can be adjusted so they are parallel or offset by about 45 degrees ether side.

No, it can only be angled to the left or right. You might could use some old fashioned igenuity and figure out a way, but it's design does not have that adjustment.
