Description
Cutter to be fitted to a lawn trimmer. Instead of a rotating plastic thread, there is a rotating disc with two curved steel blades.

The manufacturer is advertising it as suitable for use with all lawn trimmers.
Risk
The product poses a risk of injuries because:- the steel blades could fly off due to wear and tear, ageing or overload;- lawn trimmers generally available to consumers do not have a guard that is thick or large enough to provide adequate protection for this type of heavy cutter.A fatal accident occurred with a similar product.The product does not comply with the Machinery Directive.
