Adjusting blades on a hedge cutter
 

Any one know how to adjust these blades? It's a Nutool ntgh550, used on a
small privit hedge. It was working fine then just stopped cutting, I have
undone and moved the blades as far as they can so as they pass together, but
still they hardly cut. I don't see how they can go blunt so quickly. Any
help appreciated.

What do you expect from Nutool?
Did you buy it at a car boot sale??

Why would it need adjusting?
More like it needs sharpening.

The "Teeth" diagonal edges that pass each other may require a fine file
passing over them at the same angle as the "chamfers" to the sides of the
teeth.
Don't attempt to grind with an angle grinder as this will produce heat and
lose the "temper" of the steel (If any)

I don't know anything about these but do the blades need tightening
together a bit akin to tightening up garden shears?

that's what I first thought, but they are tight, I am going to get round to
try sharpening them.
