Product Information

Full details

The Metabo HS 18 LTX 55 is an extremely light and quiet cordless hedge trimmer designed for effortless trimming of hedges and shrubs. It offers clean cuts thanks to its laser-cut, diamond-ground blades and unique drop-shaped teeth that prevent twigs from escaping. While ideal for homeowners seeking a manoeuvrable and comfortable gardening tool, users should note that it is a bare unit, meaning batteries and a charger are sold separately.

Troubleshooting

Trimmer not starting

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

Blades not cutting cleanly

Clean sap and debris from the blades. Check if the blades are dull and may need sharpening or replacement. Ensure the cutting thickness does not exceed the maximum limit (1.9 cm).

Excessive vibration

Check blades for damage or imbalance. Ensure all housing screws are tightened. If vibration persists, contact customer support.

Twigs getting caught in the blades

Ensure you are using the correct cutting technique and not forcing the trimmer through overly thick material. The drop-shaped teeth are designed to minimize this, but proper use is key.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Battery Installation: Ensure you have a compatible Metabo 18V LiHD or Li-ion battery. Slide the battery into the designated compartment until it clicks securely into place.
  2. Pre-Operation Check: Before use, visually inspect the blades for any damage and ensure the safety guards are intact.

Compatibility:

  • This hedge trimmer is compatible with all Metabo 18V LiHD and Li-ion slide-on batteries. Ensure your battery is fully charged before use.

Care and Maintenance:

  • Cleaning: After each use, clean the blades with a dry cloth to remove sap and debris. For stubborn residue, use a blade cleaner or a lightly dampened cloth, then dry thoroughly. Avoid using water directly on the motor housing.
  • Blade Lubrication: Lightly lubricate the blades with a suitable multi-purpose oil or blade lubricant after cleaning to prevent rust and ensure smooth operation.
  • Storage: Store the hedge trimmer in a dry, protected place, ideally with a blade cover attached to prevent accidental damage or injury. Ensure batteries are stored separately in a cool, dry environment.
  • Sharpening: For optimal cutting performance, have the blades professionally sharpened periodically or replace them if they become significantly dull or damaged.
