The cutting head swivels, does it go all the way over 90 degrees to make an "L" shape for trimming a flat top on a tall shrub?

The cutting head tilts to about 80 - 85 degrees. I don't find, by not tilting to a full 90 degrees, creates a problem trimming higher shrubs flat on top.

Hi Asoneh!I'm looking at the instruction book that came with the hedge trimmer. It says it can be set in 6 positions. From looking at the accompanying diagram it covers about 120 degrees. When I trim the top of my hedges though I get on a ladder and cut it straight across without using these adjustments, so I have never used that feature. Hope this helps!Jim Higgins

Do you mean the top of the bottle where the cap fits? If it's angled at all, it probably won't. If it's "straight" near the top, it might. You'd have to go down an inch or so, so that the lip isn't blocking the cutting tool. Sorry I can't be more specific.

Its not a full 90° but is sharp enough to strike some sparks it will require modification for a fully sharp spine. I was still empressed with the knife.

The tip looks just how it appears in the Amazon photo. It is not 180 degrees (straight), nor is it 90 degrees. I would say it curves about 30-45 degrees.

Yes indeed. It can go from completely vertical to just a touch better than 90 degrees.

Head swivels about 45 degrees or so. Aids in making curve cuts. It does also move in vertical. When you press, the head retracts and this activates release of oil in handle. Springs closes it once you release pressure. It is a great cutter.

Hmmm. Sure, if you have the right tools! It is not one flat surface; it has a "lip" which is great for hanging but probably not great for cutting.

Mine did fine cutting in similar situations. We did a lot of trim and it was always pretty square.

Yes it must be flipped up to a 90 degree angle in order to remove the waste bucket. My mom has been very satisfied with it.

Cutting head can rotate to cut either way, and at various angles.Highly recommend.

No. This is the reason that I purchased this item. I've had no problems with cutting what I need to. It totally depends on what you are cutting. I've cut plenty of plants up 1/4" or larger, but this is generally not very hard wood/plant stems, etc.

It is not designed to have the cutting head removed. It might be possible to adapt it, but I would not buy it with the idea of using the pole for other purposes.

i have used this on everything and have had had many ways i had to cut . the head turns 360 degrees so you should be able to get what you need out of it

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

The angle is more like 150 degrees so no, it won't fit perfectly in a 90 degree corner.

I had to think about this one for awhile. The cutter head will not cut backwards. It only cuts in one direction of rotation. This is because the individual blades are mounted on a individual studs machined onto the axle. The blades are mounted such that the rear of the blade is nestled against a retainer and the cutting edge (front) overhangs the stud so that it can bite into the wood.
