Hedge Trimmer Gardena THS 42/18V P4A Double Blade 3.4 kg

The GARDENA Battery Telescopic Hedge Trimmer THS 42/18V P4A is a cordless tool for trimming hedges up to three metres high. With a 42 cm double blade and a telescopic handle, it allows safe work from the ground without ladders. The tool is supplied as a Ready‑To‑Use set including an 18V POWER FOR ALL battery and charger and features an LED charge indicator on the handle. The trimmer weighs 3.4 kg with the battery inserted, has an ergonomically designed handle and a tiltable cutting head for horizontal or angled cuts. Blade geometry and a cutting capacity of up to 16 mm ensure clean, efficient cuts across the full blade width.

Advantages

The telescopic handle provides a reach of up to three metres while maintaining a comfortable centre of gravity and secure grip. Cordless operation removes the need for power cables and ladders. An LED indicator on the handle shows the remaining battery charge. The cutting head tilts up to 90° for hedge tops and ground cover. The Ready‑To‑Use set includes an 18V POWER FOR ALL battery compatible with other devices in the alliance, and a charger is included for immediate use.

How to use

After use, switch off the tool, remove the battery for charging or storage, and separate the unit into two parts for compact transport or storage if needed.

Usage recommendations

For best results, fully charge the 18V POWER FOR ALL battery before longer jobs, make slow and steady cutting passes for uniform results, and register the product within three months to benefit from the three‑year warranty extension. Store the trimmer in a dry place and keep the blades clean and lightly oiled to maintain cutting performance.
