The Mac Allister 18V SOLO Cordless Shear (Msc18-Li) is designed for homeowners seeking flexibility in tackling light home improvement and garden tasks. Its key benefit is the 2-in-1 functionality, acting as both a grass trimmer and a shear, powered by a versatile 18V SOLO battery. A caveat is that it is a refurbished unit, so performance may vary. This tool offers convenience for trimming grass edges and shaping small hedges with its quick-change SDS blade system.

Run time varies significantly depending on the battery capacity and the type of task being performed. Consult your battery's specifications for estimated run times.
No, this is a 'SOLO' unit, meaning the battery and charger are sold separately. It requires a Mac Allister 18V SOLO battery.
The Msc18-Li is designed for light-duty tasks. For thick hedges or branches exceeding 0.5cm, a more powerful hedge trimmer is recommended.
Ensure the tool is switched off and the battery removed. Use the SDS system release mechanism to detach the current attachment and then attach the desired one, ensuring it locks securely.
After use, clean blades with a dry cloth. For optimal performance and to prevent rust, apply a light coat of lubricating oil to the shear blades periodically and store them in a dry place.
This tool is intended for home improvement and light garden tasks. For heavy-duty or professional use, a commercial-grade tool would be more appropriate.
Ensure the 18V SOLO battery is fully charged and correctly inserted. Check that the safety lock-off is disengaged.
Clean the blades thoroughly and check for any damage. Ensure the correct attachment for the task is being used. If the blades are dull, consider sharpening or replacement.
Ensure the tool is powered off and the battery removed. Check the SDS mechanism for any debris or obstructions and clean it. Follow the SDS attachment instructions carefully.
Verify the battery is compatible with the Mac Allister 18V SOLO charger and that the charger is properly connected to a power source. Clean battery terminals if they appear dirty.
Setup: Ensure you have a fully charged Mac Allister 18V SOLO battery. Align the battery with the battery compartment and push firmly until it clicks into place. Select the appropriate attachment (grass trimmer or shear) and use the SDS system to attach it securely. Ensure the attachment is correctly seated before operation.
Compatibility: This tool is designed exclusively for use with the Mac Allister 18V SOLO lithium-ion battery system. Ensure your battery is part of this range.
Care: After each use, clean the blades with a dry cloth to remove grass and debris. For the trimmer attachment, ensure no grass clippings are left in the cutting mechanism. For the shear attachment, a light application of lubricating oil on the blades can help prevent rust and maintain cutting efficiency. Store the tool and attachments in a dry, safe place, preferably in its original packaging or a dedicated tool bag. Periodically check the SDS mechanism for dirt or debris and clean as needed.
