How to choose Hedge Trimmers
One of the most important tools in any gardeners arsenal is a quality hedge trimmer. But with so many brands and models on the market, it can be difficult to choose one that best suits your specific needs.- What type of hedges are you trimming? When it comes to the hedge trimmer, its important to consider what type of hedges youll be cutting. There are different hedge trimmers designed for different hedge types.
- How big is the hedge? The size of your hedge trimmer, as well as the attachments you need, will depend on how big your hedge is.
- Do you need the hedge trimmer to prune, trim, or edge? If you want a hedge trimmer that can prune your hedges, youll need to choose between corded and cordless. Corded hedge trimmers require an extension cord, while cordless trimmers are powered by rechargeable or replaceable batteries, which make them more portable.
- What attachments do you need? Many hedge trimmers come with additional attachments, such as a delimbing blade or hedge shear. These are usually sold separately, but they may be included with more expensive models.
- Are you left-handed? Some hedge trimmers are specifically designed to be easier to use for left-handed people, including left-handed people.
- Do you need a long reach? Some hedge trimmers offer a longer reach than others. Longer-reach hedge trimmers are useful for trimming hedges along fences, in hard-to-reach places, and around flower beds.
- What type of fuel source do I need? Hedge trimmers operate with a fuel source, usually a 2-cycle engine or gas-powered. Some models offer electric options, as well.
How to maintain Hedge Trimmers
The blades on a hedge trimmer are the most important part of its upkeep. If your blades become dull, the blade will tear through the grass instead of cutting it.- Clean the blades: The best way to keep your blades sharp is to wash them after each use, but doing so will extend the life of your blades.
- Change the blades: If your blades become dull, or youre using the trimmer on a rough surface, it’s time to replace them.
- Oil the blade: Before each use, oil the blade of your machine to prevent rust and corrosion. Afterward, clean the blade to remove any excess oil.
- Sharpen the blade: If the blades on your trimmer become dull, you should sharpen them. Most trimmers come with blade sharpeners, or you can purchase one separately.
- Change the oil: Its important to change the oil on your trimmer regularly. If you dont, the engine will start to overheat, which reduces the life of the trimmer.
- Check your air filter: Every 100 hours of use, you should inspect your air filter. If the air filter becomes clogged, it will affect the performance of your trimmer.
- Remove debris from the engine: If you come across debris or dirt after youve cleaned your trimmer, remove it.
