Black & Decker Pole Hedge Trimmer - PH5551-GB

The trimmer extends up to 2.3 meters, providing an approximate total reach of 3.8 meters.

The head pivots 180 degrees and locks into 5 different positions. Use the adjustment mechanism (refer to manual for specific location) to select your desired angle and ensure it locks securely.

Use a heavy-duty outdoor extension cord rated for at least 10 amps to safely power the 550W motor. Ensure it is in good condition.

The blade tooth spacing is 2.2 cm, making it suitable for most hedge branches. For branches significantly thicker than 2.2 cm, a different tool may be more appropriate.

The Black & Decker PH5551-GB weighs 4.1 kg.

The trimmer requires minimal assembly, primarily extending and locking the pole. Ensure all parts are secured before operation.

After use, clean the blades with a damp cloth and apply a light lubricant to prevent rust and ensure smooth operation for future use.

Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into both the trimmer and a working outlet. Check the circuit breaker. Verify the extension cord is functioning correctly.

Clean sap and debris from the blades. Sharpen the blades if they appear dull. Ensure the tooth spacing is appropriate for the thickness of the branches being cut.

Ensure the blades are clean and free of debris. Check that all locking mechanisms for the pole and head are secure. If vibration persists, contact customer support.

Check for any obstructions around the pivot point. Apply a small amount of lubricant to the pivot mechanism. Ensure the locking mechanism is fully disengaged before attempting to adjust.
