Black & Decker Hedge Trimmer - BEHT201-GB

The Black & Decker BEHT201-GB Hedge Trimmer can cut branches up to 16 mm (approximately 0.63 inches) in diameter.

This model is a corded electric hedge trimmer, meaning it requires a power outlet and an extension cord for operation.

The blade on this hedge trimmer is 45 cm (approximately 17.7 inches) long.

No, this model is specifically designed and ideal for small to medium-sized hedges due to its blade length and cutting capacity. For very large or overgrown hedges, a more powerful trimmer or saw might be required.

Always unplug the trimmer first. Use a stiff brush to remove sap and debris. Then, apply a light machine oil or specialist blade lubricant to prevent rust and ensure smooth operation.

Always wear safety glasses, sturdy gloves, and appropriate footwear. Ensure your work area is clear of obstacles and bystanders. Use a residual current device (RCD) with your extension cord for outdoor use, and never cut near electrical cables or wires.

1. Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into both the trimmer and a working outlet (and extension cord). 2. Check the circuit breaker/fuse for your outdoor outlet. 3. Make sure both safety switches (if applicable) are engaged simultaneously. 4. Inspect the power cord for any visible damage.
