Power hedge trimmer Graphite 58G042

The Graphite 58G042 power hedge trimmer is a battery-operated gardening tool designed for trimming hedges, shrubs and ornamental plants. Featuring a single blade design driven by a 36V (two 18V in series) Li‑Ion battery platform, it delivers steady cutting performance while remaining lightweight for comfortable handling. The cordless design provides freedom of movement along fence lines and garden beds, and the tool includes safety features such as a lockout to prevent accidental activation and guards for both the knife section and the hand.

Advantages

The trimmer combines a 520 mm maximum cutting width with a capability to cut branches up to 20 mm in diameter, offering a balance of reach and precision for routine hedge maintenance. Its lightweight construction and ergonomic layout reduce operator fatigue during extended use. Battery operation eliminates cable restrictions and simplifies storage and transport. Built-in safety elements — an activation lockout and protective guards — reduce the risk of unintended starts and contact with the blade.

• Trimming and shaping medium-sized garden hedges

How to use

Before use, install and secure the appropriate 18V Li‑Ion battery cells in accordance with the battery manufacturer’s instructions and ensure the tool is switched off. Hold the hedge trimmer with both hands, keeping a firm grip behind the hand guard and supporting with the front handle where provided. Switch on using the intended two-step activation sequence or remove the lockout before engaging the blade. Guide the blade along the hedge with smooth, even strokes, keeping the cutting edge at a steady height to achieve an even finish. Allow the trimmer to cut at its own pace; do not force the blade through branches thicker than the specified 20 mm. After use, switch the tool off, remove the batteries for charging or storage, and clean debris from the blade and guards following the manufacturer’s maintenance guidance.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as eye protection, gloves and sturdy footwear. For best battery life and consistent performance, use compatible Graphite Energy+ batteries and follow correct charging and storage procedures. Inspect the blade for damage before each use and sharpen or replace it according to the manufacturer’s instructions to maintain cutting efficiency.
