Hedge trimmer Karcher HGE 18-50 BATTERY SET — 18 V 2.5 Ah, cutting length 5 cm, weight 2.9 kg

The Kärcher HGE 18-50 BATTERY SET is a lightweight battery-powered hedge trimmer with a 180° rotatable rear handle and a double blade for efficient, precise cutting. The set includes one battery and a fast charger. The tool features a saw function for occasional thicker branches, a cuttings sweeper that directs trimmings along the ground in front of the user, and a diamond-ground blade. An additional blade protector with an integrated lifting eye protects surfaces and enables wall storage.

Advantages

The rotatable rear handle offers comfortable working positions for vertical and angled cuts while reducing strain on shoulders and arms. The two-hand safety circuit prevents unintentional start-up. The diamond-ground double blade delivers precise cutting results, and the included saw function simplifies cutting thicker branches. The hedge broom attachment helps keep cuttings out of the hedge by sweeping them forward along the ground. A blade protector with lifting eye protects the blade and allows convenient storage.

Suitable for

• Trimming residential hedges and bushes
• Working on vertical or angled hedge sections

How to use

Charge the supplied battery fully using the included fast charger before first use. Attach the battery securely to the hedge trimmer. Adjust the rear handle rotation to a comfortable position for the task, using the available increments to lock it in place. Use the two-hand safety circuit to start and stop the trimmer safely. For regular hedge cutting, guide the double diamond-ground blade along the hedge to achieve even, precise cuts. For thicker branches, switch to the saw function as needed. Fit the cuttings sweeper attachment to direct clippings along the ground in front of you. After use, attach the blade protector and hang the tool by the integrated lifting eye if desired.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment (gloves, eye protection, sturdy footwear) and inspect the hedge for foreign objects before cutting. Avoid forcing the blade through very thick branches—use the saw function or a dedicated pruning tool. Store the device in a dry place and keep the blade protected to maintain cutting performance.
