Full details

FAQs

What is the runtime on a single charge?

Runtime varies based on usage intensity and hedge type, but the 4.0Ah battery can trim up to 190m² of bushes and hedges.

Can I use batteries from other brands?

Yes, the 18V battery is part of the Power4All Alliance and is compatible with other 18V tools from participating brands.

How do I maintain the blades?

Clean the blades with a dry cloth after each use and ensure they are dry before storage. Apply a light oil for rust prevention if storing for extended periods.

Is the battery included?

Yes, the Flymo 18V UltraCut 500 comes with one 18V 4.0Ah battery and one 18V charger.

What is the blade gap or cutting capacity?

While not explicitly stated as a 'gap', the precision blades are designed for typical hedge trimming tasks. For optimal performance and longevity, avoid cutting branches thicker than what the trimmer can easily shear.

How long does the battery take to charge?

Charge times can vary, but typically a 4.0Ah battery will fully charge within a few hours. Refer to the charger's manual for specific times.

Troubleshooting

Hedge trimmer does not start

Ensure the battery is fully charged and correctly inserted. Check that the safety switch is engaged.

Reduced cutting performance

Clean the blades thoroughly. Ensure there are no blockages. For very dense hedges, reduce the cutting thickness per pass.

Battery not charging

Verify the charger is properly connected to a power outlet. Clean the battery and charger contacts. Try a different compatible battery if available.

Hedge trimmer stops during use

This could be due to overheating or a safety cutoff. Allow the tool to cool down. Check for jammed blades or excessive load.
