I can only conclude that the trimmer is not what I expected it to be.

Have you ever considered borrowing another neighbor's trimmer? That is not meant to be facetious. I hunt with a bow that very few modern bowhunters can use successfully; they have come to depend so much on the technology of cables, wheels, and eccentric cams in compound bows and sophisticated releases that my simple fiberglass recurve "bare bow" and "finger shooting" is difficult for them to handle. Even the ones who can pull it.
I would be happy to loan you my bow for hunting, but you would almost surely fail to use it successfully. That is not a fault in the bow itself--just as the fault was not in the hedge trimmer itself--as much as it is a fault in who you asked. Another neighbor may use a type of hedge trimmer (or even a set of manually-operated hedge clippers without a motor) that might be perfectly suited to your style of hedge clipping.
Remember: you have to pick the proper neighbor to ask to get the best hedge trimming results. The hedge trimmer is only a tool.
Best Regards
