Changing The Blades; Cutting Grass - EINHELL GC-CG 7,2 Li Manual De Instrucciones

To ensure that the battery pack provides long ser-
vice, you should take care to recharge it promptly.
You must recharge the battery pack when you
notice that the power of the cordless hedge trim-
mer drops. Never fully discharge the battery pack.
This will cause it to develop a defect.
5.2 Fitting the battery (Fig. 4a/4b)
Push the battery (4) into the battery mount pro-
vided on the tool. Make sure that the battery
latches audibly in place in the tool. To take out the
battery, press the pushlock buttons (D) on both
sides and remove the battery.
Warning!
The switching devices installed on the tool
by the manufacturer are not allowed to be
removed or bypassed, e.g. by fi tting a swit-
ching button to the handle, as this may result
in risk of injury and the tool will no longer
switch off automatically.
6. Operation
The area to be cut must fi rst be cleared of stones
and other solid objects. The safety lock-off (Fig. 1/
Item 2) prevents the tool being started unintenti-
onally.
Switching on
Activate the safety lock-off by pressing it and
pressing the ON/OFF switch at the same time.
Switching off
To switch off the equipment, let go of the ON/OFF
switch.

6.1 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,
re-charge the tool immediately so that the battery
does not become fully discharged.
To prevent injuries, slide the blade guard
over the blade.
6.2 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.
To prevent injuries, slide the blade guard
over the blade.
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.

6.3 Changing the blades

Warning! Risk of injury!
Remove the battery from the tool whenever you
carry out any work on the tool (e.g. changing the
blade, carrying out maintenance, etc.). Risk of
injury!
Caution! When the blade release mechanism is
pressed (Fig. 1/Item 5), the blade will drop out!
To remove the blade, push the blade release me-

rear. The blade can then be pulled out (Fig. 5b).
Once you have removed the blade you will be
able to see the toothed wheels of the gear unit
(Fig. 6). Make sure that no dirt gets into the gear
unit when you change the blade.
When you fi t the hedge cutter blade

then to the rear. Press the blade against the tool
housing. Slot the hedge cutter blade onto the gui-
de pins (Fig. 6 /Item F). Release the blade release
mechanism. The blade is locked in place.
When you fi t the grass cutter blade
check again the position of the eccentric (Fig. 6 /
Item E).
Shift the eccentric mount (Fig. 8 /Item K) on the
grass cutter blade to the left or the right to fi nd the
position at which the eccentric (Fig. 6/Item E) and
the eccentric mount (Fig. 8 /Item K) fi t together.
