Hedge trimmer blades are really NOT worth sharpening, after you get done paying for the tech rate/ labor, you're better off just replacing them. It would take forever to sharpen each of the 2 blades with all those teeth... Don't waste your money, get new blades.

Sometimes the new blades from Andis are not sharpen enough to get that clean cut. also all trimmers need to be readjusted for power and alignment, plus sharpening the blade, it look like you need a complete sharpen & service on your Andis trimmer. check out Manny's Sharpening they have a Mail Order service, the service they provide is fast and they will sharpen make all the adjustment and give your trimmer more power and the blade will cut clean. They will even adjust the blade at your request on how you want that blade to be set at. Line Ups or Fade Cuts and even shave set.

A model number would be necessary. Look for a label with a model RYxxxxx.
You can see an illustrated parts listing by going to www.homelite.com. Click on the parts tab. It will send you to their parts vendor's website. Then type in your model number and you can see the parts breakdown. If your blades are rivited together, just buy a new set of blades. If your blades are bolted together, then it is possible to sharpen them.
I would still recommend to know how much new blades are. In my area, there are only 2 repair shops that sharpen hedgers, and they both charge more than $50 to do this.
Good luck!

The HQ4 blades are self-sharpening. The manufacturer also suggests changing these every 12 months.

Most likely, the blades were not adequately sharpened. To effectively sharpen these type blades, you need a special sharpening wheel designed for this task. If you have attempted to sharpen them on a sharpening stone or other device or you are not sufficiently knowledgeable in sharpening these blades, you probably have not satisfactorily sharpened them. Often, attempting to sharpen without the correct equipment makes them worse than when you started.

hi, yes blades can wear out but your sharpener should advise if there is a problem with them. check to make sure the clipper is moving your blades and your blade cannot be removed without depressing the latch. If your are experiencing tram lines with larger blades then it is more likely to be a clipper problem. However if your blades just wont cut i would recommend a new sharpener as it is a specialist area.

have you tried taking apart the blades and replacing them so that they line up together? Have you had a professional shear sharpener look at your blades? mabie all they need is to be sharpened again. Blades like knives or scissors need to be sharpened every once in a while. Also try replacing the blades with a new ones. The blades may have worn out. also try oiling the blades every once in a while.

Contact a scisor sharpener in your area. They usually do clipper blades as well ..
