Ryobi hedge trimmer manual#
I still will use the Ryobi trimmer in the future where I need the additional reach that this device gives me, but for other bush trimming, I'll stick to using my manual clippers and the "Hedge Hog". In fact for the lilac bush, I went back to using my 20 year old Black and Decker "Hedge Hog". I believe that the trimmer would work considerably better with a better design of the blade assembly. The biggest problem is that the branches seem to simply slip out of the cutting teeth due to the angled design of the teeth. They can extend up to 3m so when held overhead can easily trim hedges up to 5m high. Pole Hedge Trimmers are great for tall screening hedges or overgrown foliage. All are designed for working close to the body, but a longer bar with give you extra reach. In both cases, the clipper worked only marginally well. Standard hedge trimmers can have a pommel, wrap-around or rear rotating handles. Now to the evaluation of the trimmer against small branches on a small tree and against a overgrown lilac bush. I was cobbled up another metal piece that I crimped around the drive core to maintain what I hoped was the proper position.

Ryobi hedge trimmer trial#
By trial and error, I also figured out that this part was important in keeping the drive core in the correct position to result in a solid connection between the motor drive unit and the gear box on the trimmer. After cleaning the grease off of everything, I determined that the broken part was som e kind of metal part that was probably crimped to the end of the drive core. We have a great selection of corded and cordless.

I disassembled the device at the connection between the drive tube and the gear box and I found what appeared to be broken metal part. Your lawn will never have looked better with mowers, line trimmers and hedge trimmers from Harbor Freight. Anyway, the trimmer worked for all of about 30 seconds. Dual-action blades & up to 1' cut capacity for superior cutting performance Rotating handle for convenience and trimming at all angles HEDGESWEEP debris remover for easy clean up 169. I thought that this was normal, although the drive core does not fall out of any of the other devices that I used with my Ryobi 875r drive unit. I did notice that even before using it, that the drive core would fall out of the tube if you held the device in an inverted position. It arrived in what appeared to be good condition and I started to use it the first weekend after receiving it. I must preface my review by stating that I bought this hedge trimmer used at approximately 50% off the list price of a new trimmer.
