TOOLS GUIDE

How to choose your hedge trimmer and its blade?

Electric (corded/battery) for everyday work, petrol for dense hedges and long sessions. The blade is chosen according to length, tooth spacing and compatibility.

QUICK ANSWER

	Small gardens / everyday work: corded electric (light, quiet) or battery (mobility).
	Dense/thick hedges, long sessions: petrol (powerful, self-contained).
	Blade: check length, tooth spacing, double-sided cutting and model compatibility.

PETROL VS ELECTRIC

Petrol

POWERFUL · SELF-CONTAINED

Thick branches, tall hedges, long sessions. Louder; filter/spark plug/fuel maintenance.

Electric (corded/battery)

LIGHT · QUIET

Corded: light, no engine maintenance (cord limits reach). Battery: mobility, reduced maintenance.

CHOOSING FOR YOUR NEEDS

Vegetation

Fine hedges → electric; dense/old hedges → petrol or premium electric.

Blade length

Longer = faster on large hedges, but less manoeuvrable.

Weight / ergonomics

Rotating handle, anti-vibration, good head/handle balance.

TYPES OF BLADES

Straight blades

Long and precise, suited to clean finishing.

Toothed blades

Pronounced teeth for thick branches (often in pairs).

Double-sided

Cut in both directions, effective on dense foliage.

Manual (wavy)

Hedge shears: quick cuts on small subjects, less precise.

ESSENTIAL MAINTENANCE

	Clean the cutter bar after each use (resin, leaves).
	Lubricate the blades regularly; sharpen them if the cut starts to "tear".
	Electric: dust off the vents; battery: recharge after use.
	Petrol: empty the tank for long storage, clean the filter, check the spark plug.
	Store away from damp and direct sunlight.
