The Ozito HTR-550 Hedge Trimmer is designed for trimming and
shaping shrubs and hedges.
The rotating rear handle allows the user greater control to achieve
accuracy and perfectly manicured gardens.
Dual action cutting blades enhance cutting efficiency by giving a
quicker, cleaner cut.
Safety is of great importance, with this in mind, the hedge trimmer is
fitted with a dual handed safety switch which prevents accidental
starting, and a blade brake that stops the blades within 0.5 seconds
once the switch is released.
This product is intended for DIY use only.
