Swisher Trimmer

Swisher began in the deep countryside of Missouri by Max Swisher, a young creative inventor. He designed the first self-propelling lawn mower with his clever idea, and soon went into business, creating the Swisher brand.

Since then, the company has created a wide range of lawnmowers, mostly for commercial use, and has expanded to include a number of garden power tools to help customers, including string trimmers. Swisher are unique in their designs, creating mostly ride-along or walk-behind products.

What are the benefits of walk-behind trimmers?

Much like a lawnmower, walk-behind trimmers are pushed along, but with a smaller motor and string blades. Walk-behind trimmers are brilliant if you struggle to handle an upright trimmer, or if you have a lot of ground to cover.

For example, if you’re a professional landscaper or groundsmen at a football field, you need the edges looking neat but don’t want to spend hours carrying a heavy strimmer. Swisher’s walk-behind trimmers are also designed with 3-4 string blades rather than the standard 2, for more cutting power.

Should I consider adjustable cutting heights?

Something that is unique to walk-behind trimmers is the control over cutting height. With normal strimmers, the height of the grass depends on how high or low you’re holding the power tool, which can vary greatly and may get lower over time with the weight of the tool. With Swisher’s products, you have complete control of the grass height, with the adjustable height guide.

Where should I store my string trimmer?

Make sure to keep your strimmer in a cool, dry space, like a shed, garage, or outbuilding, to protect it from rust and dirt. Keep all of your garden power tools safe by ensuring the building can be locked or is protected with an alarm system.

For larger items or walk-behind strimmers, make sure you have enough space to wheel them in, as you won’t be able to lift them! Safe storage and care of your tools will keep them in good condition and will work for many years.

Do I need to replace the string?

You’ll find that over the years and through using your string trimmer that the string will start to wear out, it will be thin and weak in places. It’s important to replace your string at this point, to keep the power tool working at it’s best. Ensure the tool is turned off before replacing the string.
