The Bosch UniversalHedgePole 18 is designed for homeowners who need to trim tall hedges and shrubs without a ladder. Its key benefit is the extended reach provided by the telescopic pole and pivoting head, offering ladder-free hedge trimming. A potential consideration is the battery life, which depends on the specific 18V battery used. This hedge trimmer features an ergonomic design, a powerful motor with an Anti-Blocking System for continuous cutting, and operates on a shared 18V Lithium-ion battery system compatible with over 150 tools.

The telescopic pole can extend up to 2.6 meters, providing significant reach for tall hedges.
Yes, this specific package includes one 4.0Ah Power4All Battery and one Power4All Charger.
The blade has a tooth opening of 16 mm, suitable for cutting branches up to this diameter.
With the included 4.0Ah battery, you can expect up to 2.5 hours of runtime, though this can vary based on the intensity of use.
Yes, the 18V battery is part of the Bosch POWER FOR ALL ALLIANCE and is compatible with over 150 tools from Bosch and other brands within the alliance.
While effective for general hedge maintenance, the 43 cm blade and 16 mm tooth opening are best suited for trimming medium to large hedges rather than highly detailed topiary work.
After use, wipe the blades clean with a dry cloth. For tougher residue, a damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying. Consider sharpening them periodically for optimal performance.
Ensure the battery is fully charged and correctly inserted. Check that the safety switch is engaged before pressing the trigger. Verify that the blade area is clear of obstructions.
Clean the blades of any debris or sap. Ensure the Anti-Blocking System is functioning correctly; if jamming persists, check for excessively thick branches that exceed the 16 mm tooth opening. Sharpen blades if they appear dull.
Ensure the locking mechanism is fully released before attempting to adjust. Clean any dirt or debris from the pole sections. Do not force the pole; if resistance is high, check for obstructions.
Check that the charger is plugged in and that the battery is properly seated in the charger. Ensure the battery contacts and charger contacts are clean. Try a different compatible battery or charger if available.
