Product Information

Full details

The Bosch 18V Hedgecutter UniversalHedgeCut 18V-55 is designed for homeowners with medium-sized hedges needing a powerful yet lightweight tool for precise trimming. Its key benefit is the combination of a durable brushless motor for consistent power and an Anti-Blocking System that prevents jamming, allowing for uninterrupted cutting. A potential caveat is that the battery runtime, while ample for many tasks, might require a second battery for very large or demanding jobs.

How do I maintain the blades for optimal performance?

Clean the blades with a dry cloth after each use. For storage, apply a light coat of oil to prevent rust. Ensure blades remain sharp for efficient cutting.

What does the Anti-Blocking System do?

The Anti-Blocking System is a patented feature that prevents the blades from jamming when encountering thicker branches, allowing for continuous and uninterrupted cutting.

Troubleshooting

Hedgecutter will not start

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

Blades are jammed during use

Release the trigger immediately. Check for obstructions in the blades. The Anti-Blocking System should help disengage if resistance is too high. If jamming persists, the branch may be too thick for the tool's capacity.

Reduced cutting performance

Check the battery charge level. Ensure the blades are clean and sharp. Verify that the cutting capacity is not exceeded.

Battery not charging

Ensure the charger is plugged in and the battery is properly connected to the charger. Check the power outlet. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
