Hedge Trimmer Kärcher HGE 18-50 Battery 18V 2.9kg

The Kärcher HGE 18-50 cordless hedge trimmer combines a 50 cm diamond-ground blade with a 180° rotating handle and an integrated cutting sweeper to simplify hedge trimming and other pruning tasks. The anti-jam system reduces blade blockages, a saw function helps with thicker branches, and a blade protector shields the blade when working near walls or edges. The tool weighs 2.9 kg, is compatible with Kärcher 18V batteries (2.5 Ah or 5.0 Ah) and includes an LCD screen that indicates remaining battery charge.

Advantages

Lightweight construction and a rotatable handle reduce arm and shoulder strain during vertical and awkward cuts. The diamond-ground 50 cm blade provides precise finishes while the anti-jam mechanism maintains cutting continuity. The built-in cutting sweeper clears trimmings from bushes as you work, and the two-hand safety circuit prevents accidental starts. Integrated blade protector and saw function increase versatility and protection when trimming near built structures or tackling thicker branches.

Suitable for

• Trimming hedges and shrubs in home gardens
• Vertical and angled cuts where maneuverability is required
• Pruning thicker branches using the saw function
• Maintenance around walls and borders thanks to blade protector

How to use

Fit a compatible Kärcher 18V battery and ensure it is fully charged. Hold the trimmer with both hands and engage the two-hand safety circuit before switching on. Use the rotating handle to position the blade for horizontal, vertical or angled cuts; operate the tool with smooth, controlled movements along the hedge to achieve an even finish. Use the saw function for thicker branches and keep the blade protector in place when working close to walls or edges. After use, switch off, remove the battery and clean the blade and cutting sweeper of debris.

Usage recommendations

Use safety gloves and eye protection while trimming. Inspect the hedge for foreign objects before cutting, avoid forcing the blade through very thick branches, and store the tool with the blade protector engaged. Use compatible Kärcher 18V batteries to ensure correct operation and refer to the user manual for maintenance intervals and blade sharpening guidance.
