Default Help re hedge trimmers

I am NOT a gardening type person. Plants see me coming and keel over and die on the spot -- easier than waiting for me to kill them. That being said, I borrowed a friend's hedge trimmers. So, here's the problem -- they move in slo mo and get stuck whenever I try to "brush" them straight across the top. I've charged the battery. No difference in speed.

The question is: Is this typical for hedge trimmers (to have the blades move rather slowly and stop cold whenever they have to do some work)? Am I doing something wrong? Is there something wrong with the trimmers?
