Product Information

Full details

This Black & Decker 36V cordless hedge trimmer is designed for homeowners seeking powerful and convenient hedge maintenance. Its key benefit is the freedom of cordless operation combined with a robust 55cm blade and a SAWBLADE™ tip for tackling thicker branches. A minor caveat is that it requires a separate purchase of a 36V battery and charger, as it's sold as a bare tool.

FAQs

Does this hedge trimmer come with a battery?

No, this hedge trimmer is sold as a bare tool and requires a separate purchase of a BLACK+DECKER 36V lithium-ion battery and charger.

What is the maximum branch thickness this trimmer can cut?

The main blade gap is designed for hedges, but the integrated SAWBLADE™ tip can power through branches up to 35mm (approximately 1.4 inches) wide.

How do I clear a jam in the blades?

The trimmer features a POWERCOMMAND™ button. Simply push this button to clear jams quickly at the push of a button, minimizing downtime.

How long does the battery typically last?

> Info needed: Specific battery run time depends on the Ah rating of the 36V battery used and the cutting conditions.

Is this trimmer suitable for professional use?

This trimmer is designed for domestic use. For heavy-duty professional landscaping, a higher-spec model might be more appropriate.

How do I maintain the blades?

After each use, clean the blades with a damp cloth, dry them, and apply a light coating of oil to prevent rust. Always store with the blade guard on.

Troubleshooting

Trimmer not starting

Ensure the 36V battery is fully charged and correctly inserted into the trimmer. Check that the safety switch is engaged.

Blade jammed during use

Release the trigger immediately. Use the POWERCOMMAND™ button to clear the jam. If the jam persists, remove the battery and carefully clear debris manually.

Uneven cut quality

Ensure the blades are clean, sharp, and free from debris. Check for any damage to the blade teeth. Ensure consistent cutting speed and technique.

Reduced cutting power

The battery may be low on charge; recharge it. Check the blades for dullness or damage. Ensure there are no blockages in the cutting path.
