Advantages

Low vibration emission (1.5 m/s²) improves comfort during extended use, while relatively low sound pressure of 85 dB helps reduce noise exposure. Its cordless design offers freedom of movement without a power cable, and the 40 V Li‑Ion system ensures consistent cutting performance.

How to use

Before use, fit a compatible 40 V XGT Lithium‑Ion battery (sold separately) and check that the cutting bar is clean and undamaged. Hold the hedge trimmer with both hands on the designated grips, keep the cutting blades away from the body and bystanders, and operate the tool at the recommended idle and working speeds. Move the trimmer smoothly along the hedge, using long sweeping motions for even cuts and shorter strokes for detail work. After trimming, switch off the tool, remove the battery and perform routine cleaning and blade inspection.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment (gloves, eye protection, hearing protection) and avoid cutting material thicker than the specified maximum cutting thickness (21.5 mm). For extended work sessions, use a fully charged 40 V XGT battery with adequate capacity; the product is supplied without battery or charger.
