Read through our "Frequently Asked Questions" for information regarding basic operation and maintenance for Hedge Trimmers.
Q: What size of a hedge stem will the unit cut?
A: On battery models, do not cut a stem thicker than 3/4". On gasoline powered models, the maximum diameter is 7/16".
Q: The blades are not cutting cleanly, are they dull?
A: Most likely there is a sap build-up between the blades. Spray a light coating of machine oil on the blade strap to loosen the sap.
