FAQs
What is the battery voltage and charger compatibility?
This trimmer uses an 18V battery system. Ensure you use a compatible Mac Allister 18V battery and charger. If purchasing separately, check the product listing or manual for inclusion details.
How long does the battery typically last on a full charge?
Battery life can vary depending on the hedge density, branch thickness, and battery capacity. As a refurbished item, the battery's maximum runtime may be less than a new unit.
Can this trimmer cut through very thick branches?
This trimmer is designed for hedges and shrubs. For branches thicker than approximately 1.5-2 cm, a more powerful tool like a chainsaw or lopper would be more appropriate to avoid damaging the trimmer.
Is assembly required upon receiving the trimmer?
Minor assembly might be required, such as attaching the battery. Refer to the included manual or product description for specific assembly steps.
What warranty is provided for this refurbished product?
Warranty details for refurbished items can vary. Please check the specific product listing or contact the retailer for information on the warranty period and coverage for this Mac Allister Pole Hedge Trimmer.
How do I maintain the blades for optimal performance?
Keep the blades clean after each use by wiping them with a damp cloth. Lubricate them periodically with a light machine oil and sharpen them when they become dull to ensure clean cuts.
Troubleshooting
Trimmer not starting
Ensure the battery is correctly inserted and fully charged. Check that the safety switch is engaged and the trigger is pulled.
Blades not cutting effectively
Clean any debris from the blades. Check if the blades are dull and require sharpening. Ensure you are not attempting to cut branches that are too thick for the trimmer's capacity.
Reduced power or cutting speed
The battery may be low on charge; recharge or replace it. Check for any obstructions in the cutting head or blade mechanism that might be causing drag.
Pivoting head is stiff or won't adjust
Inspect the pivot mechanism for debris or obstructions. Apply a lubricant suitable for outdoor tools to the pivot joint and attempt adjustment again.
