And he made sure that the warranty is valid in Spain.
If you contact them they will confirm that.

Re: Looking for hedge trimmer
I've got the Bosch cordless hedge cutter with the 36V battery, it's very good and cuts my large Oleander hedge very easily. It is quite heavy but so much easier to use than a corded one. It uses the same battery as the cordless lawnmower. The battery has a good life and charges very quickly. I can also recommend the shrub cutter cordless set. I brought mine back from the UK as I couldn't find them here at the time. If you do buy one then make sure it includes the charger and battery as you can buy it without. Main downside is the price.

Go to Leroy Merlin there are lots of different types there. I just bought a rotovator but got a Garlaand, a Spanish one spare parts are here. A hedge trimmer is on my list for next year having used a chainsaw to trim my overgrown hedge.

Re: Looking for hedge trimmer
Unless your hedge comprises mature oaks or other mature trees, a good quality bow saw such as a Bahco saw would be cheaper, as easy or easier to use than a chainsaw, and a LOT safer.
I have several Bahco saws - their blades cut like a hot knife through butter and hold their edge for hundreds of cuts (the blades are also reversible, so when it starts to feel dull you can flip it around and get a lot more usage from it. I wouldn't usually get out my chainsaw until I am facing cutting through a trunk or limb that is at least 4"/10cm diameter.
