ABSTRACT:
A portable trimmer has a supporting tube extending straight forward from an engine at its rearward end to a cutting device at a forward end. A handle-bar is mounted on a middle portion of the supporting tube at an intersecting point. First and second grips extend upwardly from two corresponding ends of the handle-bar. The handle-bar has a first portion extending from an intersecting point to the first grip, and a second portion extending from the intersecting point to the second grip. The first portion extends across a width of an operator's body, and is bent in a rearward direction. The supporting tube has an inclination with respect to a phantom line connecting the first and second grips such that said cutting device is located in front of a center of the operator's body when the operator holds the grips in a natural posture. This portable trimmer increases the area in which weeds can be cut in a single movement, and provides for easy handling.
