The GreenWorks 40V GD40PSH pole hedge trimmer is a cordless gardening tool engineered to trim hedges and shrubs at height without the need for ladders. Designed for residential gardens and small estates, the extended shaft provides additional reach while the battery-powered motor delivers consistent cutting performance and freedom of movement. The tool is intended for routine pruning, shaping and maintenance of hedgerows and taller shrubs, offering a balance of manoeuvrability and cutting capacity in a lightweight design.

Blade design and motor torque ensure efficient cutting of stems and branches within the tool's capacity, while a lightweight construction improves handling during prolonged use. The product is also suitable for quick setup and storage typical of battery-powered garden tools.

How to use

Before use, fit a compatible 40V battery and ensure it is fully charged. Inspect blades and housing for damage and wear. Hold the trimmer with both hands, establish a stable stance, and extend the shaft to the required length. Start the motor according to the manufacturer’s switch and engage the blades to cut while moving the tool in smooth, controlled strokes along the hedge. For overhead trimming, maintain control of the shaft and avoid overreaching; work in short passes to prevent fatigue and ensure even cuts. After trimming, switch off and remove the battery before performing cleaning or blade maintenance.

Usage recommendations

Use the GreenWorks pole hedge trimmer with appropriate personal protective equipment such as eye protection, gloves and sturdy footwear. Match the cutting tasks to the tool’s capacity—avoid attempting to cut branches larger than the blade’s rated thickness. Store the tool and battery in a dry place and regularly inspect and sharpen the blades to maintain cutting performance.
