3. Important information

●The NC replaceable battery supplied with the tool is not charged. Before the tool can be used for the first time you must charge the battery.
●Charge the battery with the supplied charger. An empty battery takes approx. 12 hours to be charged. Do not use the supplied charger to charge other batteries.
●The battery does not reach its maximum capacitance until it has been charged and discharged approximately five times.
●NC batteries lose their charge even when they are not being used. Regular charging is therefore recommended. Capacity losses can be compensated by using a timer to top-up the charge for 30 minutes every day.
- Please check the data marked on the rating plate of the battery charger. Connect the battery charger only to an identical mains supply to that on the rating plate.
●In heavy use the battery will become warm. Allow it to cool to room temperature before commencing with the charging.
●Never throw old batteries in the fire. Risk of explosion!
●Used and defective batteries do not belong in the refuse bin. Think of the environment - cadmium is toxic. For proper disposal of used and defective batteries, send them postage-paid to the ISC company or take them to a special collecting station in your area. Ask at your local council offices for the nearest used battery collecting station.
●Protect the battery charger and cable from damage and sharp edges. Damaged cables are to be replaced without delay by an electrician.

4. Proper use

The tool is designed for cutting lawns, small areas of grass, bushes and small hedges in private and hobby gardens.

Tools for private and hobby gardens are not suitable for use in public facilities, parks and sport centers, along roadways, on farms or in the forestry sector. For the tool to be used properly it is imperative to follow the instructions set out in the manufacturer's directions for use.

Important! It is prohibited to use the tool to chop material for composting because of the potential danger to persons and property.

6. Starting up

1. Remove the battery from the handle (Figure 2) by pressing on the battery's pushlock buttons.
2. Check that your mains voltage is the same as that marked on the rating plate of the battery charger. You can now plug the battery charger in a socket-outlet.
3. Insert the battery in the charging adapter. The red LED indicates that the battery is being charged. There is no automatic switch-off when the battery is fully charged. An empty battery requires a maximum charging period of 5-7 hours. A battery with residual capacitance takes accordingly less time to charge. The temperature of the battery may rise slightly during the charging operation. This is normal.

If the battery fails to charge, please check

- whether there is voltage at the socket-outlet

- whether there is good contact at the charging contacts of the battery charger.

If you still fail to charge the battery, please return

●the power supply unit
●the charging adapter
●and the battery to our Customer Service Center.

Timely recharging of the NC battery will help it serve you well for a long time. Recharging is always necessary when you notice a drop in the tool's performance.

Never allow the battery to become fully discharged.

The results will be a defective battery!

Operation

First clear away any stones or other solid objects from where you want to cut. The safety lock-off (Figure 3 / Item 1) prevents the tool being switched on accidentally. To switch on the tool you must first release the safety lock-off with your thumb. Keep the safety lock-off pressed and at the same time actuate the On/Off switch (Figure 3 / Item 2) to start up the tool.

To switch off the tool, let go of the On/Off switch (Figure 3 / Item 2).

Cutting grass

Allow the grass cutter to glide above the ground. The best results are achieved when the lawn is dry.

When you notice a drop in cutting performance, recharge the tool immediately so that the battery does not become fully discharged.

Trimming hedges

The tool can be used to trim small hedges and shrubs.

Hold the tool slightly tilted in relation to the hedge you want to cut.

First cut the sides from the bottom up, then cut the top.

Watch out for foreign objects in or on the hedge which could damage the blades.

When is the best time to trim hedges?

●As a general rule, hedges which lose their leaves in the autumn should be trimmed in June and October.

●Hedges which do not lose their leaves should be cut in April and August.

Important!

It is prohibited to remove or bridge any of the switching elements installed on the tool by the manufacturer (e.g. by securing a button to the handle) as this would prevent the tool from switching off automatically and result in high risk of injury.

7. Changing the blades

Important!

Remove the battery from the tool before dismantling or fitting the blades. Risk of injury!

To dismantle the blades, undo the screws at the bottom of the tool (Figure 4 and Figure 5 / Item 1). When the blades have been removed you will be able to see the gear wheels (Figure 6). Make sure that no dirt gets in the gearing while you are changing the blades.

When inserting the hedge trimming blade, note the position of the eccentric pin (Figure 6 / Item 1).

Take the hedge trimming blade and slide the eccentric mount (Figure 7 / Item 1) into position so that the eccentric pin fits exactly in the eccentric mount when assembled. Fasten the hedge trimming blade with the screws.

When inserting the grass cutting blade, again note the position of the eccentric pin (Figure 6 / Item 1). With the grass cutting blade you can slide the eccentric mount (Figure 8 / Item 1) to the left or right in order to find the position where the eccentric pin fits in the eccentric mount. Re-fasten the grass cutting blade with the screws.

8. Maintenance and cleaning

To achieve good results you should keep the blades sharp at all times. In particular we recommend that you immediately level off any jags or ridges caused by stones or the like. The tool should be thoroughly cleaned both before and after use. A few drops of oil (e.g. sewing machine oil) will improve the cutting performance of the blades, but never apply any grease to the blades. To ensure constant exact cutting it is also important to remove grass remnants and dirt from between the upper and lower blade.

Important!

Never clean the tool under running water - and particularly never with high pressure - because of the potential danger to persons and property. Keep your cordless grass cutter and hedge trimmer in a dry and frost-proof place. Choose a place that children are unable to enter.

9. Troubleshooting

The tool does not cut cleanly:

Check the blades and replace them if necessary.

In case of any other faults, please contact the ISC Customer Service Center.

We draw express attention to the fact that we are not responsible within the meaning of the Product Liability Law for any damage caused by our products if said damage results from incorrect repair or the use of replacement parts which are not original Einhell parts or parts approved by us and the repair is not carried out by the ISC Customer Service Centre.
