The only safety feature the Black + Decker 60V Max Cordless hedge trimmer has is the front guard. If you have kids, a safety feature like this can prevent accidents from happening. For instance, some hedge trimmers have a two-button set up so that you have to press both buttons at the same time to start the machine. There are only two drawbacks to this hedge trimmer. Unless you have a gigantic amount of hedges or brush in your yard, you’ll be completely satisfied with the power and time this battery-powered hedge trimmer offers. I’ve used the Black + Decker 60V Max Cordless Hedge Trimmer a few times, about 30–45 minutes each time, and I haven’t run out of juice just yet. It’s this particular feature that makes this hedge trimmer a standout among hedge trimmers. All I had to do was press the POWERCUT button on the top of the machine and the blade cut through the resistance of the limb until it was completely severed. It only got stuck one time as it tried to cut through a thick branch. In fact, it was able to cut some of my nearly 2-inch branches in the brush.
It easily cut through branches that were 1.5 inches in diameter. With a 60V battery, this hedge trimmer has the kind of ‘oomph’ you get with the gas-powered hedge trimmers. I own some 20V battery-powered yard tools, and you can immediately tell the difference. The one thing that stood out to me pretty quickly was the power. The 24-inch blade felt like a great length for cutting my hedges. With dual-action blades, I was able to cut limbs on either side of the blade, which made for quicker trimming sessions. I didn’t have any trouble handling it for about 40 minutes at a time (though I did switch back-and-forth between arms so one wouldn't ache more than the other).
#BLACK DECKER BATTERY HEDGE TRIMMER HOW TO#
I always wear gloves while I do yard work (which is always advised when learning how to use a hedge trimmer), but I like that there's a front handle guard for extra protection.Īt 8.4 lbs, this Black + Decker hedge trimmer isn’t the lightest among hedge trimmers, but it’s not the heaviest either.
I'm ambidextrious so I've used it both ways and have found it equally user-friendly no matter which hand holds the front handle and which one wraps around the back handle. Whether you are right or left-handed, this hedge trimmer is easy to handle. I connected the battery to the charger and with the pull of a lever under the back handle, the machine revved to life. Because it’s battery-powered (and lacks a cord), starting up the hedge trimmer was quick and simple.
