FAQs

What is the blade length of this hedge trimmer?

The Mac Allister 18V Cordless Hedge Trimmer features a 55cm (approximately 21.7 inches) blade length.

Does this kit include a battery and charger?

Depending on the specific kit purchased, batteries and chargers may be sold separately. Please check the product packaging or listing carefully.

What is the maximum cutting capacity of the blades?

The laser-cut blades are designed for clean cutting of hedges and shrubs. While exact maximum branch diameter can vary, they are generally suitable for branches up to about 20mm thick.

How do I maintain the blades?

After use, clean the blades with a dry cloth. For optimal performance and to prevent rust, lightly oil the blades periodically, especially before storage.

Is this hedge trimmer suitable for professional use?

This hedge trimmer is designed for domestic and regular garden maintenance. For heavy-duty, continuous professional use, a more robust model might be required.

What safety features are included?

It includes a two-handed safety switch system designed to prevent accidental starts, ensuring the trimmer only operates when both handles are held.

How does the anti-vibration system work?

The anti-vibration system is engineered with specific dampening components to absorb and reduce the vibrations transmitted to the user during operation, thereby increasing comfort during extended use.

Troubleshooting

Trimmer does not start

Check that the battery is fully charged and correctly inserted. Ensure the safety switch and trigger are engaged simultaneously as intended.

Blades are not cutting cleanly

Clean any debris or sap from the blades. Ensure the blades are not dull; sharpening may be required for optimal performance. Check for any obstructions causing blade binding.

Reduced cutting power

The battery may be low on charge; replace with a fully charged battery. Check the blades for obstructions or damage that could be impeding performance.

Excessive vibration

Ensure all components are securely fastened. While the anti-vibration system is designed to reduce vibration, excessive levels could indicate a fault; inspect the tool for damage.
