If your habit of cutting the power cable seems to be incurable, I
suggest that you build some 6 ft sacrificial extension cables with
removable plugs and receptacles.  When trimming, attach one of these
cables to the hedge trimmer end of your long power cable.  After  you
(again) cut through the power cable, just unplug the 6 ft section,
replace it with a new 6 ft section, and continue trimming.  Later,
remove the plug and receptacle and use them for making additional
sacrificial 6 ft extension cables.

Hacks abound. Thank you for that suggestion, but what happens when
you hack through the cord beyond the 'sacrificial' section?
Suggestion - fix the cord, realize that building 'sacrificial'
sections was a colossal waste of time, tell yourself you'll be more
cognizant next time.

Or, likely just as effective, go back in time and tell yourself to be
more cognizant last time!

I think Jeff's suggestion would be sensible for anyone who has ever
cut through a cord that way. I suspect that if it happened once, it's
likely to happen again.

It reduces the incentive to avoid cutting the cord, but does not reduce
the work of repeated splices.  It's just silly.

As a retro grouch, my hedge clippers use no electricity.  :-)
