Full details

It provides a significant reach of 2.6 meters and a powerful 1000W motor, making it an efficient tool for dense growth; however, users should be aware that because it is a corded electric unit, movement is restricted by the availability of power outlets and the length of the extension cable.

FAQs

The trimmer is capable of cutting branches up to 20mm in diameter.

Do I need to buy a specific battery for this unit?

No, the ETHT1000 is a corded electric model and runs directly from a power outlet.

Can I use this for ground-level weeding?

While technically possible, it is designed for hedge and shrub maintenance. Using it near the ground risks damaging the blades on soil or rocks.

How do I adjust the head angle?

The head features a locking mechanism that allows you to click it into one of the 10 available positions across a 135° arc.

Is the blade replaceable?

Yes, the blades are designed for longevity, but they can be replaced if they become blunt or damaged over years of heavy use.

How long is the total reach of this tool?

The device has an overall length of 2590mm, providing significant reach for tall hedges.

Troubleshooting

The unit loses power intermittently

Check the connection to your extension lead and inspect the integrated cable strain relief for loose fittings.

Blades are jamming or not cutting cleanly

Ensure the branch diameter is under the 20mm limit and clean the blade of any accumulated plant sap or debris.

Excessive vibration during use

Verify that all shaft connections are locked securely in place and ensure the cutting head locking mechanism is fully engaged.
