• Does the trimmer come with a hedge trimmer blade? If you already own a hedge trimmer, but are looking for a second blade, or need to keep a spare blade on hand, make sure the trimmer you buy comes with a blade. Some blades are not compatible with all hedge trimmers.
• Is it easy to change the blade? Some hedge trimmers come with a blade-changing tool, while others require that the user remove the cutting head to change the blade. Keep in mind that cheaper trimmers may not have included blade-changing tools, requiring the buyer to purchase the tool separately.

How to maintain Hedge Trimmers

 Maintenance of your hedge trimmers is necessary to keep the blades sharp, maintain proper cutting length, and prevent the blades from wearing down. Before using your hedge trimmers, inspect and clean the blades, oil the gearbox, sharpen the blades, and replace any damaged or worn blade parts.

• Inspect the blades: Before using your hedge trimmers, inspect and clean the blades. Do this by detaching the blade, cleaning it, and then reattaching it to the trimmer head.
• Oil the gearbox: Once the blades are clean, use a drop or two of oil on the gearbox.
• Sharpen the blades: If the hedge trimmers blades are dull, they can cause excessive damage to the tree or shrub you are trimming. Sharpen your blades by taking them to a professional, or sharpening the blades yourself with a whetstone.
• Replace any damaged or worn blade parts: If your hedge trimmers have damaged blades or any kind of metal-to-metal contact, the blades can permanently damage the machine.
• Check your trimmer’s manual for maintenance guidelines.
