How to use

Before use, install a compatible 18 V battery and ensure it is fully charged. Hold the hedge trimmer with both hands on the designated grips, keeping the blade clear of your body and bystanders. Start the tool according to the manufacturer’s switch procedure and move the blade in steady, controlled strokes along the hedge, cutting from the bottom up for safety and visibility. For thicker growth, make multiple shallow passes rather than forcing through larger branches. After finishing, switch the tool off and remove the battery for storage or charging.

Usage recommendations

Wear appropriate personal protective equipment such as gloves, eye protection and long sleeves. Use the trimmer on dry vegetation and avoid contact with hard objects like fences or stones to prevent blade damage. For best results, trim when plants are healthy and not in heavy bloom, and follow regular sharpening or service intervals according to Bosch guidance.
