Operation - EINHELL GE-CR 18/20 Li E Originalbetriebsanleitung

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 performance of the device drops.
Never allow the battery pack to become fully di-
scharged. This will cause it to develop a defect.

All LEDs blink:
The battery temperature is too low. Remove the
battery from the equipment, keep it at room tem-
perature for one day. If the fault reoccurs, this me-
ans that the rechargeable battery has undergone
exhaustive discharge and is defective. Remove
the battery from the equipment. Never use or
charge a defective battery.

6.3 Speed controller (Fig. 8)
Turn the speed controller (Item 2) to set the speed
(1 = minimum / 6 = maximum) of the cultivator
blades (Fig. 1/Item 11). This enables individual
adjustment to the area you want to work on. The
numbers 2 – 5 marked on the speed controller are
provided as extra indication of the set speed.
Repeat this process (6.1 – 6.3) several times so
that you are sure that your equipment is functio-
ning correctly.
6.4 Working the soil
Tips for proper working
Place the machine in front of the area you want to
work on and hold it securely by the handles (Fig.
1/Item 1) before you switch it on.
Place the machine in front of the area you wish to
hoe and hold it securely on the push bar before
you switch on the machine. Guide the hoe blades
over the area.
To achieve cleanly hoed soil always ensure that
you guide the machine in straight lines wherever
possible. Insodoing, the aeration swaths should
always overlap each other by a few centimeters in
order to avoid bare strips.
Switch off the motor promptly when you arrive at
the end of the area you wished to hoe. The motor
must be switched off when you raise the machine
(for example to change direction).
Keep the underside of the machine clean and re-
move soil deposits. Deposits make it more diffi cult
to start the machine and decrease the working
depth. Work perpendicular to the slop on inclined
areas. The motor must be switched off and the
battery removed before you make any checks on
the cultivator blades.
Warning!
The hoe blades will continue to rotate for a few
seconds after the motor is switched off . Never att-
empt to manually stop them. In the event that the
rotating hoe blade strikes an object, immediately
switch off the machine and wait for the hoe blades
to come to a complete stop. Then inspect the con-
dition of the hoe blades. Replace any parts that
are damaged.
