You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

[[File:Hedge Trimming - Kolkata 2005-08-10 02050.JPG|thumb|Manual hedge trimming]]

A '''hedge trimmer''', '''shrub trimmer''', or '''bush trimmer'''<ref>As with the term ''scissors'', the plural terms "hedge trimmers" + c. are often used for individual trimming tools.</ref><ref>((cite news |last1=Paul |first1=Andrew |title=Hedge Trimming |url=https://handygardeners.com/hedge-trimming/ |access-date=22 September 2023 |publisher=Handy Gardeners))</ref> is a [[Garden tool|gardening tool]] or machine used for trimming (cutting, [[pruning]]) [[hedge]]s or solitary [[shrub]]s (bushes). Different designs as well as manual and powered versions of hedge trimmers exist. Hedge trimmers vary between small hand-held devices to larger trimmers mounted on tractors. 

==Types==
=== Stand-alone hedge trimmers ===
The power source of stand-alone hedge trimmers can be [[human power]], [[gasoline]], or [[electricity]].
* Manual hedge trimmers (sometimes also called '''hedge shears''' or '''hedge clippers''') are designed as large [[scissors]] or large [[pruning shears]]. They do not need anything to operate and are cheapest/most environmentally friendly.
* Motorized hedge trimmers allow work to be done faster and with less effort than manual ones. Their cutting mechanism is similar to that of [[finger-bar mower]]s. Powered trimmers are generally designed with safety devices such that they work only when both of the operator's hands are on the handles.
** Gasoline-powered trimmers tend to be more powerful but can be heavier and more difficult to start.
** Electrical trimmers tend to be lighter and less powerful (than gasoline variants) as well as less polluting/noisy, yet still require an electrical cord with most types (if not equipped with [[Rechargeable battery|rechargeable batteries]]).

=== Tractor-mounted hedge trimmers ===
[[Tractor]]-mounted and tractor-driven hedge trimmers also exist but are uncommon. These [[agricultural machinery|machines]] consist of a moveable arm ([[Hydraulic machinery|hydraulic]] boom) with a large hedge trimmer attachment at its end. Their cutting mechanism is similar to that of [[mower|finger-bar mowers]].

Such large hedge trimmers are often confused with tractor-mounted [[flail mower|reach flail mowers]] (booms with flail mower attachments), which appear similar due to the use of booms. And in [[colloquial language]] both, tractor-mounted hedge trimmers and reach flail mowers, are imprecisely called ''hedge cutters'', or ''brush cutters''. In contrast to tractor-mounted hedge trimmers, reach flail mowers have a different cutting mechanism and are not only used for trimming hedges but also in several other fields of application (mowing taller grass, road verge cutting, [[ditch]] maintenance, etc.).
