Buyer Guide For Hedge Trimmers

• Length. When purchasing a hedge trimmer, you should ensure that it’s long enough to handle the job. It is, after all, a hedge trimmer, not a garden trimmer.
• Weight. If you will be using your hedge trimmer in an enclosed area, consider its weight.
• Cutting diameter. The cutting diameter of the hedge trimmer is the size of the cutting blades. The blades should cut a 1-inch diameter.
• Handle. The handle is large and ergonomic. It should provide plenty of grips so that you do not have to hold the trimmer.
• Blade guards. Blade guards help to protect the operators’ hands from injury.
• Safety features. Look for features such as an on-off switch, automatic brake, and anti-vibration mechanism.
• Percussion mechanism. A hedge trimmer with a percussion mechanism is more powerful than one without.
• Side handle. A hedge trimmer with a side handle gives the user better control.
• Safety features. Look for features such as an on-off switch, automatic brake, and anti-vibration mechanism.

How to choose Hedge Trimmers

When choosing a new hedge trimmer, there are a few factors to consider. First, you need to consider the size of the trimmer head. Smaller trimmer heads are best for trimming small hedges. Larger heads are good for larger, taller hedges.

Second, you should consider the cutting setting. The cutting set refers to the blade’s thickness. Most trimmer heads have a range from 1.5mm to 3mm. A thicker blade provides greater cutting power, while thinner blades are better suited to smaller hedges.

Also, be sure to consider the power source. Most hedge trimmers are powered by either electricity or gas. Electric trimmers are typically less noisy and more convenient to use. However, gas-powered trimmers can provide greater cutting power, and are often more powerful.

How to maintain Hedge Trimmers

When it comes to maintaining hedge trimmers, it’s important to store them properly when not in use. Most manufacturers recommend storing the trimmers in a shed or garage. Also, be sure to inspect the blades for signs of wear and rust, and replace them if needed.

• To clean the blades, start by spraying them with rubbing alcohol and wiping them down with a cloth.
• Wipe the outside of the trimmer with rubbing alcohol, too.
• To sharpen the blades, use a stone or metal file to sharpen the blades, taking care not to bend or break them.
• To clean the trimmer body, remove the blades and spray with rubbing alcohol, then wipe down the parts with a cloth.
• After cleaning the trimmer, store it in a shed or garage.
