Hedge Trimmers

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you use a hedge trimmer?

All our hedge trimmers come with individual and easy-to-follow instructions for how to use them. Remember, always make sure you keep a firm grip on your trimmer before using it and trim from top to bottom, avoiding any branches that are too thick as this may ruin your blade.

How do you Sharpen hedge trimmer blades?

You can sharpen your hedge trimmer blades using a flat file. Following the specific instructions for your flat file, adjust it to the recommended sharpening angle and push forward along the blades. Remember, the flat file will only sharpen the blades on the forward stroke, so take it away from the blades when you move it back.

Always make sure to take the appropriate safety precautions, like wearing gloves and protective glasses and choosing a stable and non-slippery surface to work on. You should always read the flat file operating instructions thoroughly before use.

How do you clean hedge trimmer blades?

You can easily clean your hedge trimmer blades at home with some warm, soapy water and a cloth. To keep your hedge trimmer in best condition, we recommend giving the blades a wipe with soapy water and a cloth after every use. Again, make sure you wear protective gloves and choose a surface that is stable and non-slippery.

Can you cut grass with a hedge trimmer?

No, generally we don’t recommend using a hedge trimmer to cut grass, unless you're working with very long and overgrown grasses. Instead, it's much easier, tidier and safer to use a lawnmower or grass trimmer to cut grass.

Can you use a hedge trimmer in the rain?

No, it's not safe to use a hedge cutter in the rain, especially when using an electric hedge trimmer.
