Improve the Performance of Your Hedge Trimming Melbourne

There are multiple reasons for wanting to achieve the best-looking hedge. Perhaps they can form a beautiful border, offer shade in the hot months, or they can transform your home into a private nest. Achieving an exceptional looking hedge manually can be tiresome and time-consuming. Which is where a good quality hedge trimmer comes into play? With the right hedge trimmer, you can get your hedge looking trim and in shape and healthy. For example, Joel's Tree Services has a range of cutting-edge hedge trimmers for Hedge Pruning Melbourne in Melbourne and elsewhere with impressive ergonomics and unparalleled cutting performance. Maintaining those leafy shrubs will then feel less like physical labor and more like creating a work of art.

Getting the best performance out of your Hedge Trimmer

Like in the case of any cutting tool to ensure your hedge trimmer works at peak performance it is important to keep it sharp and clean. Blunt and dirty blades can become stuck on account of the debris stuck between blades, and the trimmer will not cut the leafy shrubs properly.

Go for blades made of high carbon steel. They will last longer

Sharpen the blades regularly after about every 50 hours of operation to maintain cutting performance. Do not wait until they show serious signs of weathering

An electrical rotary tool or a file can be used to sharpen the blades.

Spraying Stihl Multispray on the blades before and after use will help keep the blades running smoothly by stopping resin from sticking to the blades and protecting them against corrosion

Remove any sap, resin residue, and dirt from the blades before you start sharpening. This kind of scum will damage your file.

Only sharpen the cutting edge of the blade. The file should not come in contact with the integrated cut protection or the orange plastic cut protection if you are using a professional hedge trimmer.

Sharpen using a flat file, ensuring that the upper and lower blades come together at the same position which will simplify the filing process. And always file in the direction of the cutting edge which will guarantee an optimum cutting edge

Remove burrs from the bottom of the blade with a sharpening stone. After the blade has been honed, clean the blades again to clean away any metal filings. Then spray the blades with resin-free spray to prevent the steel blades from rusting.

Don't miss out choosing the right model

Choosing the right model of machine for your hedge trimming tasks will go a long way towards helping you achieve a well-sculpted hedge, in the best way possible.

Some of the things to consider before you make your purchase are the purpose of the machine you will buy. Like what type of foliage do you intend to cut? How often will you use the machine and for how long? The central focus of your decision: choosing the right hedge machine that will get you the clean lines, defined edges and the uniform precision of a well-trimmed edge!

Caution while Trimming

When using your trimmer for Hedge Trimming Melbourne, do not forget always to wear your work gloves and protective eyewear. And in case you are using an electric trimmer, use an extension cord that trails away from the blades to avoid accidentally cutting it. Do not overstretch if you are using a powered trimmer to avoid injury.
