La tondeuse à main possède soit un ressort plat, soit un ressort à boudin. [...] Le maniement de la tondeuse se fait en sens contraire de celui des ciseaux. [...] En serrant la main, rapprocher les branches qui sont écartées automatiquement par le ressort dès que l'on écarte les doigts du pouce. En répétant rapidement ces mouvements, le peigne mobile coupe les cheveux soulevés par le peigne fixe. 3, record 2, French, - tondeuse%20%C3%A0%20main
