How to use

Before use, ensure the battery is fully charged and securely fitted according to the manufacturer's instructions. Hold the hedge trimmer with both hands, keeping a firm grip on the front handle and the main handle to maintain balance and control. Move the blades along the hedge in smooth, horizontal or vertical passes as required, keeping the cutting path steady to achieve an even finish. Allow the blades to cut through material without forcing the tool; for thicker branches, make multiple light passes or remove the material with suitable pruning tools.

Recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as eye protection, gloves, and sturdy footwear. Avoid trimming in wet conditions or when the ground is slippery. Regularly inspect the blades for damage and keep them clean and sharp to maintain cutting performance. Store the hedge trimmer and its battery in a dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
