Switching The Tool On/Off; Hints For Your Work With The Tool - Okay GS 8018 LI Gebrauchsanweisung

The charging unit and the handle of the tool heat up dur-
ing the charging process. This is nothing unusual.
Pull the plug of the charging unit if it is not in use.
The tool must never be switched on during the charging
process!
Recharge the battery every time you realise a consider-
able decrease of the tool's cutting performance. The
battery additionally features an electronic total discharge
protection that protects the battery from damage. This
feature switches the battery off if the discharging thresh-
old is reached. Do not switch the tool on afterwards and
make sure to recharge the battery first.

Switching the tool on/off

Slide the switch-on lock A (fig. 3) forward and push
switch B. After the tool has been switched on, you do not
have to hold the switch-on lock A any longer.
To switch off just let go of the switch B.
Attention! The blades will coast for a certain
time after switch-off!

Hints for your work with the tool

The grass shears allow for clean cuts of lawn edges or
hardly accessible lawn areas.
As the device is operated with one hand
please be careful not to move the other hand
near the running cutting tools.
Maintenance
(Fig.6)
Put the included blade guard into the blade(s) and use
protective gloves to protect yourself from injury.
Push both lateral push buttons concurrently and remove
the shearing blades (Fig. 4).
Remove any dirt from the gear area (if necessary).
Please slightly grease the drive area (D and C)
using commercial universal grease before putting the
replacement shears in place (Fig. 6).
Lead the cutting blades with the rear holding toe into
the housing of the grass shears as shown in fig. 5 and
lock the click system in place by strongly pushing on the
blade base plate.
The position of the eccentric drive does not have to be
considered when changing the blades. When the device
is switched on, the gear eccentric unit automatically
engages into the appropriate relief in the shearing blade.
The device is now ready for operation.
Clean the blade from any crushed plants and dirt. The
blades should be detached at least once a season for
the removal of debris. Lubricate the C pinion and the
D back of the blade with a light oil. Do not lubricate the
motor and other parts. Should the blade become dull
GB | Operating Instruction
after a long period of use, a spare part can be ordered.
Warning! The leading edges of the blades must be oiled
to ensure proper lubrication. If the leading edges are not
oiled, blade durability may be adversely affected.
If the cutting tools have become dull after long use
please replace them with original spare parts.
Clean the device using only a brush or cloth. Do never
wash down the device with water and do never dip the
device into water.
Apply protective spray to the blades after each use.
