How to use

Before use, install and charge the compatible 18V battery according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Hold the hedge trimmer with both hands, positioning the front handle to guide the blade and the rear handle to operate the switch. Move the blade in smooth, sweeping motions along the hedge top or sides, keeping steady speed to achieve an even cut. For thicker branches, use multiple light passes rather than forcing the blade through dense material. After finishing, switch off the tool, remove the battery and perform basic cleaning of the blade to remove debris.

Recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as gloves and eye protection. Avoid cutting branches thicker than the tool’s capacity and keep bystanders, especially children and pets, at a safe distance while operating the hedge trimmer. Store the tool and battery in a dry, cool place and follow the battery care instructions to maintain performance and longevity.
