Product Information

Full details

The Einhell GE-CH 1855/1 Li Kit is designed for homeowners and garden enthusiasts who need to trim hedges, shrubs, and bushes, particularly in locations without immediate access to power outlets. Its key benefit is the cordless freedom offered by the Power X-Change battery system, allowing for efficient and clean cutting with laser-cut, diamond-ground steel blades. A potential caveat is the dependence on battery charge for operation and the weight of the batteries during extended use.

FAQs

What is the Power X-Change system?

The Power X-Change system is Einhell's interchangeable battery platform. It allows you to use one type of 18V battery across a wide range of Einhell tools, providing flexibility and cost savings.

How long does the battery last?

Runtime depends on the battery capacity (Ah) and the intensity of use. The included 2.5 Ah batteries offer a practical runtime for average garden tasks, but longer-lasting batteries are available separately.

Can I use this on thick branches?

This hedge trimmer is designed for hedges, shrubs, and bushes. For branches thicker than the maximum cutting capacity (check product specifications for exact limit), a different tool like a lopper or saw should be used to avoid damaging the trimmer.

How often should I clean the blades?

It's recommended to clean the blades after each use to remove sap and debris. Applying a light lubricant will help prevent rust and keep them in optimal condition.

What is the warranty period?

Einhell typically offers a standard warranty on their tools. Please refer to the product manual or Einhell's official website for the most current warranty information specific to your region.

Does it come with batteries?

Yes, this kit is supplied with 2 x 2.5Ah batteries and a high-speed charger.

Troubleshooting

Hedge trimmer not starting

Ensure the battery is correctly inserted and charged. Verify that the two-hand safety switch is engaged before pressing the main power button.

Blades are not cutting cleanly

Check if the blades are dull or damaged. Clean them thoroughly and ensure they are properly aligned. For significantly dull blades, replacement may be necessary.

Reduced cutting power

The battery may be low on charge; replace or recharge it. Check the blades for any obstructions or build-up that could be hindering performance.

Hedge trimmer overheating

Allow the tool to cool down. Ensure the air vents are clear of debris. Avoid forcing the trimmer through excessively thick branches.
