How do I do a battery check on my Cordless Grass Shears

Overview

If your cordless grass shears are not operating correctly, a simple battery check can help identify whether the issue is related to the battery charge, installation, or charger performance.

The battery includes a built-in test function to indicate remaining charge, and it must be correctly inserted into the tool to ensure proper operation. When charging correctly, the battery should also show a slight temperature increase, indicating that the charger is working as intended.

Step-by-Step Guide – Battery Check

Step 1: Check the Battery Charge

Ensure the battery is fully charged before use.
Press the test button located on the front of the battery.
Check the indicator lights:
- Multiple lights = sufficient charge
- Few or no lights = battery needs charging

Step 2: Check Battery Installation

Insert the battery into the grass shears.
Push firmly until you hear a definitive click.
The click confirms the battery is securely locked in place.
If no click is heard, remove and reinsert the battery.

Step 3: Confirm Proper Fit

Ensure the battery is fully seated and not loose.
Check that the contacts are clean and free from debris or damage.

Step 4: Check Charger Performance (If Charging)

Place the battery onto the charger.
Ensure the charger is connected to a working power outlet.
During normal charging, the battery should gradually warm up slightly.
- This is normal and indicates the charger is functioning correctly.

My Cordless Grass Shears blade is not cutting

Quick Answer

If your cordless grass shears are not cutting effectively, the most common causes are debris trapped between the blades, a blunt or damaged blade, insufficient lubrication, or an internal gearing issue.

Cleaning, lubricating, and inspecting the blade will often restore cutting performance.

Before You Start

Before inspecting the blades, make sure:

The grass shears are switched off
The battery has been removed
The blades have come to a complete stop

Always:

Wear protective gloves when handling the blades
Use a brush or wooden stick to remove debris
Work on a stable, well-lit surface

Important: Never use your bare hands to remove debris from the blades.

How to Fix Grass Shears That Are Not Cutting

Follow these steps to identify the cause.

1. Check for debris

Inspect the blades for:

Grass clippings
Small twigs
Dirt
Other debris trapped between the teeth

Remove any obstructions using a brush or wooden stick.

2. Inspect the blades

Check whether the blades are:

Blunt
Chipped
Bent
Damaged

If the blades are slightly blunt, they can be sharpened using a suitable blade file.

Always wear protective gloves when sharpening.

If the blades are heavily worn or damaged, stop using the tool and have the blades replaced by a qualified repair specialist.

3. Lubricate the blades

Apply a small amount of suitable lubricant along the cutting edges.

Multi-purpose grease is recommended to:

Improve cutting performance
Reduce friction
Protect the blades against corrosion

Remove any excess lubricant before using the tool.

4. Check the material being cut

Only cut vegetation that is within the maximum cutting capacity of your model.

Depending on the blade fitted, this is typically between 14 mm and 24 mm.

Refer to your user manual for the correct cutting capacity.

Attempting to cut material that exceeds this limit may prevent the blades from cutting effectively and could damage the mechanism.

If the Problem Continues

If:

Are the blades clean
There is no visible damage
The blades are correctly lubricated

Important Maintenance Tips

Clean the blades after every use
Apply lubricant regularly to maintain smooth operation
Keep the blades sharp for the best cutting performance
Never exceed the maximum cutting capacity for your model
Replace worn or damaged blades before further use

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are my grass shears not cutting properly?

The most common causes are trapped debris, blunt blades, insufficient lubrication, or an internal gearing issue.

Can I sharpen the blades myself?

Yes. If the blades are only slightly blunt, they can be sharpened using a suitable blade file while wearing protective gloves.

What lubricant should I use?

We recommend applying a small amount of multi-purpose grease to the cutting edges to maintain smooth operation.

Can I cut thick branches with grass shears?

No. Grass shears are designed for light trimming only. Always stay within the maximum cutting capacity specified in your user manual.

What should I do if the blades still won't cut?

If cleaning, lubricating, and inspecting the blades does not resolve the issue, contact our Warranty Technical Helpline if your machine is within warranty, or a local garden machinery repair specialist if it is out of warranty.

How do I remove the blade cover off my Cordless Grass Shears

Quick Answer

On some cordless grass shears models, the blade cover (or blade sheath) is designed to fit tightly to protect the blades during storage and transport.

Before You Start

Before removing the blade cover:

Switch off the grass shears

Follow these steps:

1. Hold the tool securely

Grip the handle firmly with one hand while keeping the blades pointed away from yourself.

2. Pull the blade cover

Some models have a snug-fitting cover that requires a little extra force to remove.

3. Wiggle if necessary

If the cover does not come away immediately:

Gently wiggle it from side to side
Continue pulling firmly until it slides off

Do not use tools or excessive force to remove the cover.

4. Refit the blade cover

When storing the grass shears:

Align the cover with the blades
Push it firmly back into place until it is fully seated

A tight fit is normal and helps keep the blades protected during storage and transport.

Important Tips

Always remove the battery before fitting or removing the blade cover
Wear protective gloves when handling the blades
Do not use screwdrivers or other tools to prise the cover off
Always store the grass shears with the blade cover fitted

Frequently Asked Questions
