The angle gear has two purposes:
The first is to gear down the engine's high speed to better suit the lower speed a saw blade or trimmer requires to
work efficiently.
Secondly, the angle gear contributes towards the operator's working stance so that it is comfortable and at the same
time efficient. In other words, the power from the engine via the drive axle should be angled so that the cutting tool
works parallel with the ground.
