Product Information

Full details

The WORX 20V Cordless Hedge Trimmer (WG261) is designed for homeowners and gardeners seeking a lightweight, ergonomic solution for routine shrub maintenance and light hedging. Its primary benefit is the 22-inch dual-action blade system that minimizes vibration while allowing for extended use without operator fatigue. However, users should note that the 20V system is best suited for residential foliage and small branches up to 3/4 inch, and may struggle with exceptionally thick, woody overgrowth common in commercial landscaping.

FAQs

Can I use a 4.0Ah battery with this trimmer?

Yes, the WG261 is compatible with all WORX Power Share 20V batteries, including higher capacity batteries, which will extend your runtime.

How often should I sharpen the blades?

Sharpening frequency depends on usage. If you notice the hedge trimmer is tearing branches rather than cutting them clean, it is time to sharpen or replace the blades.

Is this tool waterproof?

No, the tool is not waterproof. Do not use it in the rain or store it in damp, exposed environments.

What should I do if the battery won't charge?

Ensure the power outlet is functioning and the battery is correctly inserted into the charger. Check for debris on the charging contacts.

Does this trimmer include a blade guard?

Yes, it includes a protective blade sheath that should be placed over the teeth whenever the tool is not in use for safety and to prevent rust.

Troubleshooting

Trimmer stops during operation

Check if the battery is securely seated or if the battery has depleted. If the branch is too thick, the motor may have triggered a thermal protection shutdown; remove the blade from the branch and restart.

Blades are jamming or dragging

Clear any trapped twigs or leaves from between the blades. Ensure the blades are lubricated with light machine oil to reduce friction.

Reduced cutting performance

Inspect the blades for sap buildup or dulling. Clean the blades thoroughly or consider sharpening if you have noticed a significant drop in cutting quality over time.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lightweight design prevents user fatigue during extended use
  • Dual-action blades drastically reduce vibration for a cleaner finish
  • Interchangeable 20V battery works with the entire WORX Power Share ecosystem
  • D-Grip handle provides excellent control at various cutting angles

Cons

  • Limited by 20V battery runtime during intensive, heavy-duty projects
  • Maximum 3/4-inch branch capacity is unsuitable for thick, woody brush
  • Battery charge time may require a pause in work for larger yards

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the trimmer, slide the fully charged 20V battery into the housing at the rear of the handle until it clicks securely. The tool is compatible with all WORX 20V Power Share batteries, allowing for extended runtime if you own spare batteries from other tools.

Proper care is essential to maintain the cutting efficiency of the WG261:

  1. Cleaning: After every use, remove debris from the blades using a brush and apply a light coating of machine oil to prevent rust.
  2. Storage: Store the trimmer in a dry, indoor location. Always slide the blade cover over the teeth when not in use.
  3. Battery Maintenance: Charge the battery at room temperature and avoid leaving it in extreme heat or freezing temperatures during storage.
