FAQs

What is included with the Mac Allister 18V Hedge Trimmer?

This product is supplied as a bare tool, meaning the battery and charger are not included. You will need a Mac Allister 18V SOLO battery and charger to operate it.

What is the maximum cutting capacity of the blades?

The hedge trimmer is designed for branches up to approximately 20mm in diameter. For thicker branches, a more powerful saw or lopper may be required.

How do I maintain the blades?

After each use, clean the blades with a dry cloth. Periodically oil the blades to prevent rust and ensure they remain sharp for optimal performance.

Can I use batteries from other brands?

No, this tool is designed specifically for use with the Mac Allister 18V SOLO battery system. Using incompatible batteries may damage the tool and void the warranty.

What is the advantage of a brushless motor?

A brushless motor offers improved efficiency, a longer lifespan, and more consistent power output compared to traditional brushed motors, leading to better performance and tool durability.

How long will a fully charged battery last?

Battery run time can vary depending on the battery capacity (Ah) and the intensity of use. Refer to the battery and charger manual for specific run time estimates.

Troubleshooting

Hedge trimmer does not start

Ensure a fully charged battery is correctly inserted. Check that the safety switch is disengaged and the trigger is pulled.

Blades are not cutting effectively

Clean the blades of debris and sap. Ensure they are properly aligned and sharpened. Check for any obstructions or damage to the blades.

Motor stops during use

The tool may have overheated. Allow it to cool down for a few minutes. Check for any blockages in the cutting area or vents that could cause strain.

Battery not charging

Ensure the charger is plugged in and the battery is correctly seated in the charger. Try a different outlet. If the issue persists, contact customer support for the battery/charger.
