Is your hedge trimmer safe to use? Check blades and guard
Before using your Husqvarna hedge trimmer, it’s important to check that the blades and blade guard are in good condition.
Damaged or loose parts can affect performance and increase the risk of injury.
Quick safety check
Before each use, make sure:
Blades are sharp and not damaged
No cracks or bends are visible
The blade guard is securely attached
All screws and fittings are tight
This takes less than a minute and helps prevent accidents.
Safety first
Before checking:
Wear protective gloves
Disconnect power (battery or spark plug)
Allow machine to cool
How to check the blades
Inspect the blades for damage, cracks or bending
Check for dull edges or uneven wear
Make sure the blades move freely
Damaged blades should be replaced before use.
How to check the blade guard
Ensure the guard is securely attached
Check for cracks or missing parts
Make sure it is not loose
The guard protects you during operation—never use the trimmer without it.
When NOT to use your hedge trimmer
Do not use the machine if:
Blades are damaged or loose
The guard is missing or broken
You hear unusual noise or vibrations
Using a damaged trimmer can lead to injury or further damage.
