Anleitung AGH 18-12 sprachig
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, re-
charge 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.
