This trimmer is designed for light to medium hedge trimming around the garden and is not intended for heavy-duty or commercial applications.

Troubleshooting
Trimmer does not start
Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into both the trimmer and a functioning power outlet. Check the power outlet with another device. Verify that the safety switch (if applicable) is engaged correctly.
Blades are not cutting effectively
Check for any obstructions or debris caught in the blades. Ensure the blades are clean and properly lubricated. If the blades are dull or damaged, they may need to be sharpened or replaced.
Trimmer jams frequently
This usually indicates branches are too thick for the trimmer's capacity (16mm). Clear the jam carefully (unplug first) and ensure you are only attempting to cut material within the specified limits. Overloading the motor can also cause jamming.
Overheating during use
Unplug the trimmer and allow it to cool down. Ensure the air vents are clear of debris. Avoid prolonged, heavy-duty use that exceeds the trimmer's intended purpose for light to medium tasks.
