MILWAUKEE® Cordless Hedge Trimmers

Petrol-powered Hedge Trimmers bring fumes, noise, vibration and constant maintenance. Cordless Hedge Trimmers remove those problems while providing better long term comfort and increased cutting power. They are designed to deliver powerful performance, letting professionals handle heavy-duty trimming tasks efficiently.

At MILWAUKEE®, we are developing Outdoor Power Equipment solutions that avoid harmful emissions and reduce the noise pollution created by petrol tools in use. A 2-stroke leaf blower emits 23 times more carbon monoxide than an average pick-up truck, we are committed to producing cordless outdoor tools to improve our environment. Cordless Hedge Trimmers are ideal for residential or noise sensitive areas with quiet operation and zero emissions.

About the Product

Cutting Power and Capacity

While tackling thick, established hedges, cutting power is essential. This is especially important on the first cut of the season, when large amounts of material need to be removed. The M18 FUEL™ Hedge Trimmer 60 cm and M18 FUEL™ Hedge Trimmer 75 cm are suitable for heavy duty applications such as ground maintenance, cutting branches up to 32 mm.

With the POWERSTATE™ brushless motor, REDLITHIUM™ battery pack and REDLINK PLUS™ electronic intelligence, MILWAUKEE® cordless Hedge Trimmers deliver outstanding power, run time and durability. The POWERSTATE™ brushless motor delivers constant torque, fast blade speed and reliable performance which ensures clean and efficient cuts on every pass.

Reach & Ergonomics

Reach is crucial when dealing with tall and wide hedges. The M18 FUEL™ Extended Pole Hedge Trimmer 267 cm was designed specifically for this purpose, with the longest reach in the range. This allows you to stay safely on the ground when cutting the top of large bushes. Extended models also give you the advantage of staying out of reach of thorns, while helping you maneuver around obstacles.

Ergonomics are maximised for every trimmer. Cordless Hedge Trimmers provide excellent weight distribution with a clean and precise cut. Bail handle placement and weight distribution allow for the best combination of balance and control. Each trimmer includes a rotating handle with five positions, allowing you to instantly adjust your grip for the perfect angle and making longer applications much more comfortable.

How to Use

The Hedge Trimmer range features blade lengths of 45 cm, 60 cm, and 75 cm, catering to a variety of applications, all equipped with double sharpened & dual actuating blades for clean cuts and removal of thicker material. A blade tip guard is included to protect the blades and prevent accidental damage of fences or other objects.

The Pole Hedge Trimmer range features blade lengths of 180 cm, 216 cm and 267 cm, with a 270° articulating head, including 13 working positions and one storage position. This flexibility allows users to trim comfortably at almost any angle. In the storage position, the trigger is disabled to prevent the blades from starting accidentally.

With a M18™ FORGE™ 8.0 Ah Batterythe technology takes performance to the next level. Providing the power to replace petrol, MILWAUKEE® battery technology is optimised for the outdoors - providing ultimate power for the most demanding applications. The M18 FUEL™ Extended Pole Hedge Trimmer 216 cm and the M18 FUEL™ Extended Pole Hedge Trimmer 267 cm deliver up to 50 minutes of continuous runtime, while the M18 FUEL™ Hedge Trimmer 60 cm provides up to 1 hour per charge. Rotate the batteries for enough runtime to cover a full working day. 

A Bar Cover is kitted with each trimmer. 

Maintenance & Sharpening

Blade maintenance is crucial for maintaining consistent performance and longer tool life. Always keep the blades lubricated for smooth cutting and reduced wear. It is recommended to lubricate the trimmer before and after each session. 

Always clean the blades after use. It helps maintain performance and prevents the spread of diseases across hedges.

All models use double sided dual sharpen blades, they produce a cleaner finish promoting healthier regrowth. Sharpening can be done by the user, following the angle of the cutting edge. Use the M12™ Sub Compact Rotary Tool for best results.

When needed, the blades are fully replaceable, preventing a compromise in performance.
