What to do if your RYOBI Hedge Trimmer cuts out

Battery Hedge Trimmers

• Check battery charge level and that the battery is inserted correctly.
• Charge the battery if it’s low on 1 bar.
• If the current limit of the tool has been reached and the circuit has tripped, remove the battery and reinstall it before continuing work.
• If the battery is overheated/warm to touch, allow it to cool then reinsert it.

Electric Hedge Trimmers

• Ensure the plug is inserted correctly into the extension cord and the extension cord is plugged in to the mains power socket.
• Check that there is no damage to any cord or plug. If there is any damage to any cord or plug, discontinue use immediately.

Petrol Hedge Trimmers

• Check that there is fresh fuel in the tank. The storage life of petrol in equipment fuel tanks is one month.
• You can add a fuel stabiliser to increase this to 12 months.
• If your fuel is ‘off’, you will need to drain the old fuel and replace with fresh fuel.

Material being cut is too thick

• Check your hedge trimmer’s maximum cutting capacity and make sure the material you're cutting isn't too thick
