SKIL HT4221-00 Brushless 40V Hedge Trimmer
WARNING : To reduce the risk of injury, the user must read and understand the Owner’s Manual before using this product. Save these instructions for future reference.
WARNING
- Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
- Lead from lead-based paints.
- Crystalline silica from bricks, cement, and other masonry products.
- Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
- Your risk from these exposures varies, depending upon how often you do this type of work.
- To reduce your exposure to these chemicals:
- Work in a well-ventilated area.
- Work with approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
- Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities. Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas with soap and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth or eyes or to lie on the skin may promote absorption of harmful chemicals.
General Machine Safety Warnings
Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with this machine. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury
SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
The term “machine” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded)
machine or battery-operated (cordless) machine.
Work area safety
- Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
- Do not operate machines in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Machines create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
- Keep children and bystanders away while operating a machine. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
Electrical safety
- Machine plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) machines. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
- Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
- Do not expose machines to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a machine will increase the risk of electric shock.
- Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the machine. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
- When operating a machine outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
- If operating a machine in a damp location is unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.
Personal safety
- Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a machine. Do not use a machine while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating machines may result in serious personal injury.
- Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
- Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the machine. Carrying machines with your finger on the switch or energizing machines that have the switch on invites accidents.
- Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the machine on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the machine may result in personal injury.
- Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the machine in unexpected situations.
- Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
- If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
- Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of machines allow you to become complacent and ignore machine safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.
Machine use and care
- Do not force the machine. Use the correct machine for your application. The correct machine will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
- Do not use the machine if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any machine that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
- Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable, from the machine before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing machines. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the machines accidentally.
- Store idle machines out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the machine or these instructions to operate the machine.
- Machines are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
- Maintain machines and accessories. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the machine’s operation. If damaged, have the machine repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained machines.
- Keep cutting machines sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting machines with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
- Use the machine, accessories and machine bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the machine for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
- Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
- Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the machine in unexpected situations.
Battery machine use and care
- Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
- Use machines only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
- When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
- Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
- Do not use a battery pack or machine that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
- Do not expose a battery pack or machine to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above 265 °F (130 °C) may cause explosion.
- Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack or machine outside the temperature range specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at temperatures outside the specified range may damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.
Service
- Have your machine serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the machine is maintained.
- Never service damaged battery packs. Service of battery packs should only be performed by the manufacturer or authorized service providers.
HEDGE TRIMMER SAFETY WARNINGS
- Do not use the hedge trimmer in bad weather conditions, especially when there is a risk of lightning. This decreases the risk of being struck by lightning.
- Keep all power cords and cables away from cutting area. Power cords or cables may be hidden in hedges or bushes and can be accidentally cut by the blade.
- Wear ear protection. Adequate protective equipment will reduce the risk of hearing loss.
- Hold the hedge trimmer by insulated gripping surfaces only, because the blade may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Blades contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the hedge trimmer “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.
- Keep all parts of the body away from the blade. Do not remove cut material or hold material to be cut when blades are moving. Blades continue to move after the switch is turned off. A moment of inattention while operating the hedge trimmer may result in serious personal injury.
- When clearing jammed material or servicing the hedge trimmer, make sure all power switches are off and the battery pack is removed or disconnected.
- Unexpected actuation of the hedge trimmer while clearing jammed material or servicing may result in serious personal injury.
- Carry the hedge trimmer by the handle with the blade stopped and taking care not to operate any power switch. Proper carrying of the hedge trimmer will decrease the risk of inadvertent starting and resultant personal injury from the blades.
- When transporting or storing the hedge trimmer, always use the blade cover. Proper handling of the hedge trimmer will decrease the risk of personal injury from the blades.
- Operate the hedge trimmer at ground level only. Do not operate on ladders or any other unstable support.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Do not charge the battery pack in rain or in wet locations. Use only with the battery packs and chargers listed below:
Battery | Charger |

- WARNING To prevent serious personal injury, always use both the front handle and the rear handle to hold the hedge trimmer during operation.
- WARNING To prevent serious personal injury, keep hands away from blades. Do not attempt to remove cut material or hold material to be cut when the blades are moving. Make sure that the blades have totally stopped and the battery pack is removed before clearing jammed material from blades. Do not grasp the exposed cutting blades or cutting edges when picking up or holding the unit.
- WARNING Clear the area to be cut before each use. Remove all objects, such as cords, lights, wire, or string that can become entangled in the cutting blade and create a risk of serious personal injury.
Tips for best trimming results:
Before starting the hedge trimmer, maintain proper footing and balance and do not overreach. Wear safety goggles, non-skid footwear, and rubber gloves. Hold the unit with both hands with the cutting blades directed away from you. Always use the hedge trimmer properly.
- Do not trim too much at one time. This can cause the blades to bind and slow, reducing the cutting efficiency.
- Do not force the hedge trimmer through heavy shrubbery. This can cause the blades to bind and slow down. If the blades slow down, reduce the pace of your work.
- When trimming new growth, use a wide sweeping action, so that the stems are fed directly into the cutting blade. Older growth will have thicker stems and will be trimmed most easily by using a sawing movement.
- Always cut stems or twigs that are less than 3/4 in. thick. Use a non-powered hand saw or pruning saw to trim large stems
Top Cutting (Fig. 8)
- Use a wide sweeping motion.
- A slight downward tilt of the cutting blades in the direction of motion gives the best cutting results. If desired, you can use a string to help guide you as you cut your hedge level. Decide how high you want the hedge. Then, stretch a piece of string along the hedge at this height.
- Trim the hedge just above this guide line
Side Cutting (Fig. 9)
When trimming the sides of the hedge, begin at the bottom and cut upwards. Trim the side of a hedge so that it will be slight narrower at the top. This shape will expose more of the hedge, resulting in a more uniform growth
MAINTENANCE
WARNING When servicing, use only identical replacement parts. Use of any
other parts could create a hazard or cause product damage.
Periodically inspect the entire product for damaged, missing, or loose parts
such as screws,nuts, bolts, caps, etc. Tighten securely all fasteners and caps
and do not operate this product until all missing or damaged parts are
replaced. Please contact customer service or an authorized service center for
assistance.
Cleaning
WARNING To avoid serious personal injury, always remove the battery pack from the tool when cleaning or performing any maintenance.
- Use a soft brush to remove debris from all air intakes and cutting blade.
- To remove pitch and other sticky residue, spray the blades with resin solvent. Run the motor briefly so that the solvent is event distributed.
- Wipe the surface with a dry cloth.
WARNING Never use water for cleaning your trimmer. Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of commercial solvents. Use clean clothes to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
Sharpening the Cutting Blade
- Start and stop your hedge trimmer until the cutter blade and the guard are slightly offset, as shown in Fig. 10. This will allow clearance for the file between cutter teeth and guard teeth.
- Remove the battery pack from your hedge trimmer.
- Clamp the blade assembly in a vise and file the exposed cutting surface of each blade tooth. Remove as little material as possible. Be sure to retain the original angle of each tooth when filing.
- Remove the hedge trimmer from the vise; restart it and stop it to expose the unsharpened edges of the blade teeth.
- Remove the battery pack and repeat the sharpening procedure above.
NOTICE : Do not operate your hedge trimmer with dull or damaged cutting blades. This may cause overload and will give unsatisfactory cutting results.
Lubricating the Blade (Fig. 11)
For best operation and longer blade life, lubricate the hedge trimmer blade with light weight machine oil before and after each use.
- Remove the battery pack from the hedge trimmer.
- Lay the hedge trimmer on a flat surface. Apply some light weight machine oil along the edge of the top blade. If you will be using the hedge trimmer for an extended period, it is advisable to stop, remove the battery, and oil the blade during use.
