FAQs

How high can the hedge trimmer reach?

When the telescopic handle is fully extended, the Flymo 18V UltraCut Reach 420 can reach heights of up to 3 meters.

What type of battery does it use?

It uses an 18V Power4All battery. The package includes one 18V 2.0Ah battery and a charger.

Can I use batteries from other brands?

Yes, as part of the Power4All Alliance, the 18V battery is compatible with other 18V tools from participating brands like Bosch, GARDENA, and Wagner.

How long does a single battery charge last?

A single charge can provide enough power to trim up to 250m² of bushes and hedges.

Is the cutting head adjustable?

Yes, the cutting head is adjustable to a 90° angle, allowing for trimming at various heights and orientations.

What is the benefit of the debris guard?

The debris guard helps to catch clippings and directs them away from the user. The blade tip protector prevents damage to the blades when trimming near hard surfaces like walls or fences.

How do I maintain the blades?

After use, clean the blades with a damp cloth and dry them thoroughly. For optimal cutting performance, consider professional sharpening or replacement when they become dull.

Troubleshooting

Hedge trimmer does not turn on.

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

Blades are not cutting effectively.

Clean the blades to remove debris. Check for any obstructions or damage. If blades are dull, consider sharpening or replacement.

Reduced battery runtime.

Ensure the battery is fully charged. Batteries degrade over time; consider replacing an older battery if performance is significantly reduced.

Unit feels unbalanced or vibrates excessively.

Check that all parts are securely tightened, especially the telescopic handle and adjustable head. Ensure the battery is properly seated.
