my hedge trimmer not cutting good?

my trimmer cutting hedge not smoothly, it leaves some strain behind.

I don't think "it's leaving some strain behind" is the same as the machine is "straining".

Infact in all my years I have never heared of anyone using that term in any context to a hedge cutter.

If it's straining it will be either a build up of plant residue or the blades need sharpening. Possibly both.

Give the blades a good sharpen/clean and also lubricate along the blades.

Clean after each use.

lubricate after each use.

I think you mean "not cutting well"
