English term
hedge trimmer vs. string trimmer
English to Spanish
Other
Mechanics / Mech Engineering
These are what I call "bordeadoras" or "recortadoras".
The first one may be "bordeadora de cercos", but what about "string trimmer"?
Any suggestion?
Thanks in advance,
Lorena

Podadora can be either one. Here it is used for a hedge trimmer: http://www.pacificemployers.com/Safety/ag_hedge trimming_01S... Here it is classified as "de arbustos": http://www.littlewonder.com/manuals/310700.pdf

See the first reference below for many different models of string trimmer with different names.
In English, a string trimmer is often called a "weed eater" after the name of a popular brand.

Sol
: Sí, esta terminología se refiere a que usa una cuerda o cable que da vueltas para cortar, no para qué se va a usar. Se necesita más información para determinarlo. Hay podadoras de orillas que usan tijeras o cuchillas, de plástico o de metal.

: con Sol. La podadora de cuerda podría servir para cortar arbustos y no sabemos si la podadora de arbustos funciona con cuerda.
