Abstract
An electric trimmer has an electric motor and power source, a pair of blade plates, at least one of which is connected to an oscillator mechanism in the electric motor, and a pair of guard plates disposed one on each side of the at least one of the pair of blade plates, the guard plates hosting a matching radial or linear pattern of slots having a uniform spacing, a uniform slot width, the slots breaking out past at least one edge of the guard plates, the guard plates, in assembly, creating a gap space there between. One or more operators may insert branches having buds or flowers thereon through any one of the matching slots in the slot pattern, the branch oriented orthogonal to the blade set with the blade plates oscillating to harvest the buds or flowers within the gap space.
