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

 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.
