The website at
http://www.gtechgarden.co.uk/
has the manual.

Mine is a bit on the puny side, but I've been quite impressed by what it
achieves on our mixture of privet, holly, brambles and sprouting bits
of small trees in front of the house.
It doesn't extend very much, the blade is a bit short and the blade
openings are not very large, but it's light enough and the belt mounted
battery is definitely a good idea.
The battery is 12 volt, 1.5 ampere hour.

Now to the off-topic thread hijack...
In the shed of the house son has bought and amongst all the other
serious but old garden tools is a Webb hedge cutter. It has a sort of
sack-truck trolley on which is mounted the large 12 volt car battery and
a vertical drain-pipe sized tube full of oil in which the long reach
blade sits while it is wheeled to the hedge. The drive motor looks
antique with the brushes mounted on either side. The blade is single
sided and has a good size gap. I'm keen to try it, but not sure the
battery is up to much. It reads 3.5 volts and we haven't had time to
wheel it to a charger yet.
He has bought a Bosch, so is less keen that I am to add this to the
urgent to-be-sorted list. Anyone here know these?
