Using the Makita 40V Max XGT Hedge Trimmer Kit is easy. First, make sure the battery is fully charged. You can check the charge level on the charger's digital display. Once charged, insert the battery into the hedge trimmer. Turn on the trimmer and choose the appropriate speed according to the thickness of the branches you're trimming. For thin branches, the low speed might be enough, while for thick and hard ones, go for the high speed. When trimming, hold the hedge trimmer firmly with the 5 - position rotating rear handle adjusted to a comfortable angle. If the trimmer gets jammed, use the reverse function to clear it. As for the free stick vacuum, just insert the battery and turn it on to start cleaning up the trimmings. Some important things to note: Don't use the hedge trimmer in extremely wet conditions, even though it has IPX4 weather - resistant construction. Keep the tip guard in place at all times to protect the cutter bar. Avoid overloading the tool. For maintenance, after each use, clean the hedge trimmer's blade and the vacuum's dust bag. Wipe down the tools to remove any dust or debris. Periodically check the battery and charger for any signs of damage. If you notice any issues, stop using the tools and contact Makita's customer service.
