I've done that myself. It's annoying as hell.

It's always my fear when using these.

It's really easy to catch that cord in there, yeah.

I did it once, and since then I've kept the cord flung over my shoulder with the excess all pooled behind me.

You are not alone. Done it twice. Learned my lesson.

Bought my mom a brand new really nice extension cord for mother's day. Went out to trim some stuff next day with her hedge trimmer and the nice new cord. Last 2 minutes. For this very reason.

It's pretty standard that you have the cord over your shoulder :P

The saw committed suicide.

me too and my dad aswell. we bought one with a battery now. waaaaay better and cheaper in the long run

Twice even!

Cheers, me too.

Same, shit myself when the wire exploded when I cut through it.

Super hard to avoid.

Agreed. I too have had to replace an extension cord or two.

Same, and it was an expensive cord, too. 😬

Did that with a circular saw, thankfully right after my last cut.

I've done this too before, but to a hedge trimmer I was borrowing...from my boss at the time! Worried that I would get laughed at incessantly by said boss and whether he could tell I got him new one, I just rewired the power cord back into the trimmer, all be it maybe a foot shorter. The boss never noticed, even though it was a massive pain to put the trimmer back together after though.

Yeah, as much as I want to point and laugh, that was me once.

Came very close to it myself several times. Anyone judging is an asshole, because it's super easy to get the cable in the way.

by the way it’s actually a hedge trimmer ☝️🤓

We have a ~30m long, ~2m high hedge, and it happens at least once every time we cut it.

Yeah one of the only tools I sill have as a gas-powered variant because of this.

Go buy a Stihl or echo gas trimmer electric tools are usually garbage - former landscaper

That's not a chainsaw, it's a hedge trimmer. And I only see one woman, not multiple women

Also i did exaclty this with a hedge trimmer last week and i am not a woman.

Also, no dash required.

I did a quick browse of the OP's profile to check if they are a native English speaker, and it appears that they are from India. I imagine hedge trimmer would be much more difficult to find a translation for than chainsaw.

You can trim a bush with it also…. Video at 11:00..

Says the real ugly MF.

🙏

titlegore

I think it’s meant to be a reference to the anime Chainsaw Man

Tit-leg-ore? What kind of sub is that? 🧐

Lmao seriously tho, women live action ok

I feel like a shocking amount of people are missing she cut the cord 😂

shit...

She did not understood as well. She says after she made the cut: "Mom, it stopped working again" (She speaks in Hebrew)

With her "chainsaw"

And it's staged

Facepalm: OP uses "chainsaw" to describe hedge clippers in order to some how insinuate women don't know how to use chainsaws.

It's a reference to a new anime called Chainsaw man

I think it was a reference to the anime chainsaw-man that is very popular right now.

Doesn’t change the fact that she cut the cord of the hedge trimmers with said device. No matter what device you’re using or what gender you are, that’s just stupid

🙏

Yeah that's the true facepalm here.

Woman trims her bush.

Underrated comment right there.

Why was this being filmed?

porn

How incredibly fortune it was that this happened to be filmed, perfectly framed and all.

Action!

I’m a Carpenter and have cut the lead to a circular saw a few times, these things happen.

definitely. i work in with hedge trimmers on battery. battery is in a shoulder holster connected with a cable to the hedge trimmer. once i was working in a small space (between hedge and giraffe enclosure fence) and cut the cord. no big problem, just replace the cord in the workshop

Chainsaw?

Everyone talking about the title, I think OP is trying to make a joke about the manga/anime Chainsaw Man. They still used women instead of woman, but other than that it makes sense, and it's not that much of a stretch I don't think

Assuming people would get that was their first facepalm.

Why is she filming this? Staged ...

That's a hedge trimmer sir. And shit happens.

it's a joke about the chainsaw man anime

Funny looking chainsaw.

Chainsaw not equal to Hedge Trimmer

Why film in the first place if not staged Why use the cheapest indoor extension cord outside This is just like the house flipping shows with home girl using an electric chainsaw with a 2 stroke sound effect

Thats a thing pretty much anyone who uses hedge trimmers will do.

The title is the real facepalm.

I thought I was still on eyeblech😅

Should've used a Bluetooth hedge trimmer

That my friends, is not a chainsaw

Chainsawoman: Denji's lost partner

Filming, why were they?

I’ve done it many times. Started with a 100 foot extension chord that is now about 50 feet after chopping it up so many times.

That’s not a chain saw.

Chainsaw?

Staged.

Join the club. Easy to do especially if the power cord is green.

Thick orange extension cord, my best friend while using this type of trimmer.

That is not a chainsaw its a hedge trimmer.

That's a hedge trimmer not a chainsaw.

That looks like a hedge trimmer. Not a chainsaw.

The biggest facepalm : calling that a chainsaw

This new chainsaw man anime is more underwhelming than I thought

I believe she was VERY, VERY lucky.

From an electrical safety standpoint, the handle is insulated and it is 110v power. She is fine. This exact thing is not terribly uncommon.

I mean I’m all for the ☕️ moment, but this just looks like someone trying their damn best at something possible new that they’ve never done before

Ive done that a few times! Very easy to do this!

I did something similar with my hedge clippers a few weeks ago standing on a 6ft ladder. Didn't cut the cord clear in half,.just nicked it. A few wire nuts and some electrical tape later I was back to trimming.

Topiary 101: Just hack away in any and all directions and wave trimmers around wildly.

They'll fix it in post

"Mom it dosent work again" thats what she said

For the life of me I can't make out what she says.

Karma farmer doesn't know what a chainsaw is. How surprising.

Pretty hardcore, she is.

The only thing properly working in this video is the circuit breaker.

This happens to everyone at least once, so not facepalm. Better give her credits for trying and not depending on someone else to do it for her.

"chainsaw" that's just a trimmer for twigs on brushes and hedges.

Except those are hedge clippers..... tell me you don't know what a chain saw is with out admitting it

Not a chainsaw,it’s a hedge trimmer

That is not a chainsaw, it's a hedge clipper. That is only one woman, not more. also, most people do that, at some point in their lives.

Man and I’ve done it (might have even done it twice)

Duh that's a hedge trimmer, not a chainsaw.

Dude, you've never seen a chainsaw?!

English isn’t OPs first language

Woman trims bush with hedge trimmer.

Not a chainsaw ,op. You suck

English isn’t OPs first language

That's a hedge trimmer.

Chainsaw? Nope

Women ☕️

This most like tripped a circuit.

Woman ☕️

Women ☕

proof women can't handle Chainsaw

Yet you don’t even know what a chainsaw is.

The Chainsaw- women live action role play

Why are women so bad at using tools like this, like how tf do you sever the cord from an electric hegde trimmer

Don't get HER an electric razor!

I hope she's more careful trimming other bushes...

☕

She got really lucky.

Lol I did exactly that on the first day of my very first job! Hahah!

I’m shocked that she’s not shocked

It's okay, she was doing a terrible job.

cordcutters

Yeah I've done that over the years with those plug in trimmers. A few times too.

Anybody know what she said?

"Mom, it stopped working, again" (in Hebrew).

Cut right through an electric cord and she is not even giving half a rat s ass.

Oppssss

wonderin why the cable is so short

Yeah, be independent Cut that cord

I ran over the electric lawn mower's extension cord. So mad at myself.

She said in hebrew "what? it doesn't work again" that means this is not the first time she's done this.

Bet she never SAW that coming...

Thought thos was gunna be a lot worse

Lol my dad was trimming the hedge about a year ago and he had a green cord, he is also colorblind so he didnt see the cord hanging in the bushes. And then bloob cord gone.

All my garden tools are cordless for this reason

This is the sorta stuff that makes people stereotype blonds as dumb.

What a great outfit made for open wounds

this is why women shouldn't use power tools

Cutting down on electrical use…

Did that myself a few years ago...

Totally done this.

For gods sake put a tarp under the hedges and bushes you trim so the cleanup is easy, fast, doesn't cause any headache and leaves minimal debris behind. I am partial to gas powered equipment.

Love how she was disappointed in herself after that. We've all been there unfortunately lol

I’ve done that two out of three times I’ve ever mowed the lawn. I’m not allowed to mow the lawn anymore. Some think I’m a boob and some think I’m a genius. 😈

Wife did it. Her dad and I building our new deck.

Do people randomly set cameras up to watch them work?

Probably did it on purpose since she’s using a cheap lamp cord

I did this exact thing, but to make it worse, I hadn't actually cut any of the bush, yet. Just pulled the trigger to figure out the safety catch, and before I had even let go, sparks had flown, and my cord lay on the ground.

Best argument for cordless hedge trimmers ever. Have almost done it innumerable times...

Not a face palm happens alot

She speaks Hebrew

I did that with my circular saw way back in the day 😂, by the way that's a trimmer not a chainsaw

Bought a brand new south wire 100 foot extension cord and my fiance did this 2 days after I purchased it.

I've done it.

So that's why electric trimmers have a short cord! If you cut the one on the cutter you're fucked, but you can always replace an extension cord.

I've done that too, pain in the ass.

She's cute.

"אמא עוד פעם לא עובד" אני יודע שבאתם לחפש פה את זה (אני גר בתוך הקירות שלכם)

Very easy mistake to make! At least it's just the extension cord so it's easy to replace.

so THAT's why the cord is so short on these things... I always wondered

Chainsaw ≠ reciprocating saw.

Landscape orientation is a lost art.

Yeah, sadly I've done this more than once.

Can’t say I haven’t done that before…

Rannnndandandandannnn

When brain gets heat attack

Translated from Hebrew “it’s not workin again”

I hate to say it but I've done it. Made a nice pop sound too.

Jup, I’ve done that

למה היא מתלוננת לאמא שלה שזה לא עובד? ועוד היא אומרת שזה עוד פעם לא עובד, יעני כאילו זה כבר נכשל לפחות פעם אחת

After being a super careful electrician-man for almost 20 years I once did this twice in like 10 minutes.

Curious as I am ignorant, this wouldn’t as simple with a lawnmower correct?
