will a chain saw TRIM a hedge?

A chain saw is a much cruder thing, and it doesn't do a nice job on small
stuff. I've used mine to good effect lopping off a bunch of brush that had
overgrown an old farmer's access lane by a boundary wall, but you sure
won't be doing topiary with it!
Is there somebody who will rent a petrol powered hedge trimmer, or an
electric one with an intact cord? Are you comfortable with splicing the
cut one? Heat shrink tubing over soldered connections works nicely, but if
the terms don't make sense, don't try it...
