Top 4 Reasons Your Hedge Trimmer Won’t Start

So you’re ready to get those bushes back in shape, but your electric hedge trimmer won’t start. Here are 4 common causes:

1. Trigger/switches aren’t fully depressed.
Press those things all the way down. Don’t be shy.

2. Grip isn’t locked (if equipped with rotating handle).
Line up the arrows and set the grip lock.

 
3. Loose extension cord.
Make sure your cord connections are nice and snug. Loop the power and extension cords too, just to be sure.

 
4. Tripped circuit breaker.
Check your electrical panel and if needed, flip that switch.
