LONGER LIFE: up to 3 times higher than the nickel–cadmium batteries, reducing the need to recharge during long periods of use.
Ideal for medium-large gardens.

FULL CHARGE FOR THE ENTIRE BATTERY LIFE: the charge of the lithium-ion batteries does not fade. Unlike nickel-cadmium batteries, which power gradually decreases, lithium batteries’ cells maintain constant power throughout the entire cycle. The same charge for the entire cycle without reducing the motor speed. The battery is running at full
power until its complete exhaustion.

CHARGE DURATION LENGTHNESS: lithium batteries hold their power for a longer time than the nickel-cadmium ones, with a number of charges 3-4 times greater
and longer storage times with lower battery’s loss. Lithium batteries are rechargeable up to 2000 times!

LIGHTWEIGHT: Lithium-ion batteries have the best power-weight rate. They weight 1/3 of the nickel-cadmium ones.

ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY: Lithium battery-powered tools are recyclable and are produced without heavy metals.

NO MEMORY EFFECT: Lithium batteries can be recharged at any time without negative memory effect. Indeed, they don't fail to provide maximum power even after hundreds of charge cycles.
Few minutes of charge are enough to complete the work.

LOW DISCHARGE RATE: low run down rate (up to 5 times lower than nickel-cadmium batteries) so your lawn mower will be ready to use even after months of storage.

BATTERY CHARGER: the lithium-ion batteries battery chargers allow to reduce the energy consumption by an average of 35%.

Main advantages of the electric motor:

• More reliable of a petrol engine. It hasn’t a spark plug, filters, oil dipstick, carburetors, etc ... or components which can cause problems.
• Zero maintenance
• Much lighter
• Lower consumption and drastically reduced operating costs compared to petrol engine models (great cutting results with minimal power required). Moreover, the operator won’t have to refuel (the fuel should always be fresh).
• Zero vibrations, thanks to the electric motor. Instead, almost all petrol powered machines, which are not equipped with an anti-vibration system on steel springs, have a very high degree of vibration, making the work really unpleasant.
• Zero smoke emission, zero impact on the environment and, above all, on the operator’s health.
• Much quieter and therefore pleasant to use than a petrol engine one.

The transmission shaft of the hedge trimmer has a diameter of 24 mm and it is made of aluminium. This makes it very durable while maintaining a low weight.

The weight of the machine without batteries and accessories is 3.2 kg and 4.5 kg with batteries.

Ergonomic loop handle.

The controls are simple and intuitive, with 3 electronic speeds.

Focus on the quick release.

The accessory can be assembled and removed from the machine body very quickly thanks to the quick-release coupling.

The Tap'n Go line head allows to lengthen the line pressing it against the ground during rotation.

The stone guard is equipped with a counter blade for the adjustment of the line, and can also be set to operate with steel blades by simply releasing two tabs.
