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
Many homeowners use hedge trimmers to keep hedges neat and trimmed. These string trimmers come in many different sizes, from trimmers used to trim small hedges to large models that can be used to trim entire properties.- Clean the blades: Over time, oil on the blades of the trimmer can build up, making it difficult for the blades to move freely. To test the tightness of the blades, hold the trimmer upside down and pull the trimmer’s trigger. If the blades move freely, they need oiling. If they’re stuck, you’ll need to remove the blades and wash them with a wire brush.
- Change the oil and air filter: Oil on the blades can build up over time, so it’s important to periodically change the oil and air filter. Most string trimmers have an oil reservoir on the top of the trimmer, which can be easily accessed by unscrewing the top cap. To replace the air filter, pull the trimmer’s trigger to unscrew it.
- Sharpen the blades: If your hedge trimmer’s blades become dull, it is likely to cause more problems rather than fix them. To sharpen blades, use a wire brush to scrub the blades and then sharpen them with a whetstone.
- Check the cord: Check the cord of your hedge trimmer before each use. Make sure there aren’t any loose or frayed wires. If there are, you’ll need to replace the cord.
