Trash product - do not touch it!

Even when first bought this hedge trimmer was troublesome to start. After two seasons of only occasional use it became very hard to start and impossible to keep going, stalling frequently.

A local specialist in garden and agri-equipment refused to touch it, saying that they are rubbish and that it would fail again leaving them with a bad reputation. When I found a dealer willing to look at it he could not get it to run either.

Better to rent a professional machine [from Jewson, say], buy a heavy duty electric from Bosch or save up for a serious product. This machine is not worth all the trouble.
