Operation; Cutting Grass; Changing The Blades - EINHELL RG-CG 10,8 Li Mode D'emploi D'origine

Unscrew the fi tting (Fig. 1/Item 6), adjust the
telescopic handle to the required length and
then tighten the fi tting again. Press the catch
in and push the tool onto the telescopic handle
as shown by the direction of the arrow in Fig. 7.
After letting go of the catch, make sure that the
fi tting is correctly engaged (Fig. 1/Item 8). Then
connect the power plug (Fig. 9/Item A) to the tool
as shown in Fig. 9. Press the catch (Fig. 10/Item
A) to rotate the tool to the left or right and to use
it as an edge trimmer. Make sure that it clicks into
place!
To take apart, proceed in the reverse order. To
remove the fi tting (Fig. 11/Item 8), release it in the
direction of the arrow (Fig. 11/Item A) and then
push it in the direction of the arrow (Fig. 11/Item
B).
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.
Under no circumstances are you to use the
shrub cutter with the telescopic long handle
fi tted.

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 3) prevents the tool being started unintenti-
onally. Activate the safety lock-off (Figure 1 / Item
3) by pushing it forward and pressing the ON/
OFF switch (Figure 1 Item 4) at the same time. To
switch off the tool, let go of the ON/OFF switch
(Figure 1 / Item 4).

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.

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.
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

Caution! Risk of injury!
To remove the blade, press the release mecha-
nism (Fig. 1/Item 12) and take out the blade as
shown in Fig. 12/Item 12.
Once you have removed the blade you will be
able to see the toothed wheels of the gear unit
(Fig. 13). Make sure that no dirt gets into the gear
unit when you change the blade.
To assemble, proceed in the reverse order.
Caution! The blade will fall out when the release
mechanism is pressed (Fig. 1/Item 12)!
When you fi t the hedge cutter blade
check the position of the pin for the eccentric
connector (Fig. 13/Item 1). Take the hedge cutter
blade and slide the eccentric mount (Fig. 14/Item
1) into position so that the pin for the eccentric
connector and the eccentric mount fi t together
precisely when assembled. Slot the hedge cutter
blade onto the guide pins (Fig. 13/Item 2).
When you fi t the grass cutter blade
check the position of the pin for the eccentric con-
nector (Fig. 13/Item 1) again. Shift the eccentric
mount (Fig. 15/Item 1) on the grass cutter blade
to the left or the right to fi nd the position at which
the pin for the eccentric connector (Fig. 13/Item
1) and the eccentric mount (Fig. 15/Item 1) match
up.
