TOP QUESTIONS BEFORE BUYING
Here are some frequently asked questions when buying a hedge trimmer.
What should I think about when choosing a hedge trimmer? Start by considering the size, shape and what you want to do with it. If the hedge is very tall or difficult to reach, you’ll benefit from the reach of a pole hedge trimmer. If it’s wide, try a single-sided hedge trimmer with an extra long cutting bar. A double-sided hedge trimmer with a tilting rear handle is ideal if you want to shape your hedge.
What are the risks of using a hedge trimmer? The blades are sharp and you can injure your fingers or hands if you’re not careful. For this reason when using a hedge trimmer you should always wear gloves, as well as hearing protection and protective eyewear.
I don’t want to disturb the neighbours. Do you have any hedge trimmers that run quietly? Yes, we have two models, the Husqvarna 122HD60 and 122HD45, which are specially designed to run in low noise mode.

= Available ― = Not available * Equivalent sound pressure level, as per ISO 22868, is calculated as the time-weighted energy sum for the sound pressure levels at various operational states. Typical variation for equivalent sound pressure level is a standard deviation of 1 dB(A). ** Equivalent vibration level, as per ISO 22867, is calculated as the time-weighted energy sum for the vibration levels at various operational states. The data presented for equivalent vibration level has a typical variation (standard deviation) of 1 m/s². Features glossary see page 194.
