Abstract

A hand-held gardening machine includes a pair of upper and lower clipper blades each formed with clipper teeth. The clipper blades are caused to slidably reciprocate in a longitudinal direction thereof by means of output from a power source. A comb-like safety plate is formed with protrusions protruding beyond the tips of the teeth. The positions at which the protrusions of the safety plate are located are selectable from overlapping positions of the teeth of the clipper blades and positions shifted from the overlapping positions.
