Hedge Trimming

The new Black & Decker hedge trimmer works great. I trimmed the front hedges to be level with the bottom of the windowsills. However, when I was trimming around the electrical box, I accidentally hit the extension cord on a backswing and the trimmer just lost power. On closer inspection, the trimmer cut clean through the cord. That 13AMP cord was too short to reach the electrical box from the front power plug anyway. Purchase two 100' extension cables from Lowes on next trip. And wrap them around the body, away from the trimming so I don't get a nasty shock. Also, basic safety, unplug when not trimming.
