Cleaning, Maintenance And Ordering Spare Parts; Changing The Blades - EINHELL GE-CG 18 Li Manual De Instrucciones

Make sure that there are no foreign bodies in or
alongside the hedge, which could damage the
blades.
To prevent injuries, slip the blade guard over
the blade.
When to cut hedges:
•
As a general rule: hedges which loose their
leaves in the autumn should be cut in June
and October.
•
Evergreen hedges can be cut in April and
August.

6.5 Changing the blades

Warning! Risk of injury!
To prevent injuries, slip the blade guard over
the blade.
To remove the blade, press the blade release
mechanism (Fig. 9/Item 4) and pull out the blade
(Fig. 10).
Once you have removed the blade you will be
able to see the toothed wheels of the gear unit.
Make sure that no dirt gets into the gear unit when
you change the blade.
To assemble, proceed in the reverse order.
Caution! When the blade release mechanism is
pressed (Fig. 9/Item 4), the blade (1) will drop out!
To remove the shrub cutter blade, follow
exactly the same procedure.
Fitting the blade (Fig. 11-12)
Insert the narrow end of the blade housing into
the equipment housing. Press the blade release
mechanism and then press the blade housing
against the equipment housing until it engages
with an audible click.
The procedure for fastening the shrub cutter
blade is exactly the same.

7. Cleaning, maintenance and
ordering spare parts
HAZARD!
Always take the battery out of the equipment
before starting any cleaning work.
7.1 Cleaning
•
Keep all safety devices, air vents and the
motor housing free of dirt and dust as far as
possible. Wipe the equipment with a clean
cloth or blow it down with compressed air at
low pressure.
•
We recommend cleaning the equipment
immediately each time after use.
•
Clean the equipment regularly with a damp
cloth and some soft soap. Do not use
cleaning agents or solvents; these may
be aggressive to the plastic parts in the
equipment. Ensure that no water can get into
the interior of the equipment. The ingress of
water into an electric power tool increases the
risk of an electric shock.
•
The shears should be cleaned thoroughly
every time before and after use. A few drops
of oil (for example sewing machine oil)
applied to the blades improve the cutting
performance. However, never apply grease to
the blades.
•
To guarantee a constant exact cut it is
necessary that grass residues and dirt is
removed also from the top and bottom blades.
Caution!
Because of the risk of injury or damage
to property, never clean the product with
running water, especially not with a pressure
hose. Store the cordless shears in a dry and
frost-free location. The storage place must be
inaccessible to children.
7.2 Maintenance
•
For good cutting performance the blades
should always be sharp. They can be
therefore be resharpened with a whetstone. In
particular we recommend to remove notches
and ridges which are produced on the blades
by stones or the like.
•
There are no other parts inside the equipment
which require maintenance.
