Einhell GC-SC 18/28 Li -Battery-operated lawn scarifier/aerator 18V/4.0Ah

The Einhell GC-SC 18/28 Li cordless lawn scarifier model is distinguished by its PurePOWER Brushless motor with no brushes, which provides more power and autonomy, making it ideal for extended work without interruptions.

This scarifier is part of the Power X-Change family, famous for its inter-compatibility between all batteries in the system, requiring only an 18V battery.

It also offers an extended 10-year warranty on the engine, demonstrating the manufacturer's confidence in the product's durability.

The design features a scarifying drum with 12 rotating knives mounted on ball bearings, optimal for efficient cutting of vegetation.

It offers the possibility to adjust the aeration depth on three levels, as well as a transport position for easy movement without damaging the lawn.

In addition to being foldable for better storage, the handle is height-adjustable, adapting to different user statures, while the wide wheels minimise stress on the lawn during use.

The synthetic material shell guarantees impact resistance and durability.

Available with optional accessories such as an aerator roller and a collection bag, this scarifier expands its functionality, making it even more versatile.

With a working width of 280 mm, the Einhell GC-SC 18/28 Li offers an effective and easy-to-use solution for lawn care, ideal for those looking for a practical and powerful solution for maintaining their garden. Included in the package are a 4Ah battery and an 18V charger, which can be used on the entire Einhell Power X-Change 18V range.

The Einhell GC-SC 18/28 Li lawn scarifier is equipped with a highly efficient brushless motor and extended runtime.

The Brushless Motor guarantees 10 times longer life than a brush motor, 50% more autonomy and 25% more power.

The 18 V lithium-ion batteries can be recharged at any time (like the batteries of modern smartphones, they have no memory effect) so that they are always ready for use. They last on average 30 times longer than a normal battery.

Advantages of the battery-electric motor

• More reliable than an internal combustion engine, thanks to its electric motor. No spark plug, filters, oil dipstick, carburettors, etc. or components which can cause problems.
• Lighter
• Zero maintenance
• Lower consumption and drastically reduced operating costs compared to petrol engine models (great cutting results with minimal power required). In addition, the Operator won’t have to buy the fuel (that it should always be fresh).
• Zero vibrations thanks to the electric motor. Instead, almost all engine-powered machines, which are not equipped with an anti-vibration system on steel springs, have a very high degree of vibrations, making the work quite unpleasant.
• Zero smoke emission, zero impact on the environment and, above all, on the Operator’s health.
• Much quieter and therefore pleasant to use than a petrol lawn mower.

Rotor rotation engagement by means of a handlebar and button.

High-strength plastic housing, allows a working width of 28 cm.

Curved bottom design, reducing resistance and making it easier to push the scarifier.

Folding handle for storage.

Height adjustable to 3 heights

Brushless motor for better performance, greater range and power, and longer service life.

No-load speed: 3400 rpm

Soft grip for greater comfort during use.

Practical handle for removing the collection bag.

Centralised depth adjustment system via adjustable lever.

3 permitted positions

2-in-1function: scarifier and aerator

• The scarifier lifts and collects dead grass and moss
• The aerator allows oxygen, water and nutrients to reach the roots.

Rotor with blades: recommended for the “scarifying process”. Stainless steel blades

This rotor type allows a more intensive lawn care thanks to the possibility to work the soil in depth. Indeed, the sharpened 12 blades penetrate vertically the lawn allowing the complete removal of moss, felt and weeds.
This feature allows the lawn to regenerate by improving oxygenation, drainage and nutrient uptake. * The right time for this operation is Spring, after the first mowing and depending on the area and climate (generally around March/April). For a perfect lawn care, it is highly recommended to repeat the operation in Autumn as well, thus removing the harder moss.

The rotor can be replaced WITHOUT using any extra tool.

BATTERY AND BATTERY CHARGER NOT INCLUDED

2 LITHIUM-ION BATTERIES AND 2 BATTERY CHARGERS INCLUDED

Battery provided with quick release: the battery can be easily detached and pulled out from the machine by pressing the quick release button.

Voltage: 18 V
Amperage: 4 Ah

The practical battery can be recharged at any time, no memory effect (it does not have a tendency to run out after many refills) to always have great power.

Battery charger included (connection to the home mains as the one of a standard mobile phone).

The battery is applied to the battery charger through the quick coupling, in the same way as it is connected to the machine.

Additional batteries can also be purchased for a very long working autonomy

Therefore, you will just need to have a single battery and a battery charger in order to operate the full range of equipment offered by Einhell.

LONGER LIFE: up to 3 times higher than nickel–cadmium batteries, reducing the need to recharge during long periods of use.
Ideal for medium-large gardens.

FULL CHARGE FOR THE ENTIRE BATTERY LIFE: the charge of the lithium-ion batteries does not fade. Unlike nickel-cadmium batteries, which power gradually decreases, lithium-ion batteries, cells maintain constant power throughout the entire cycle. The same charge for the entire cycle without reducing the motor speed. The battery is running at full power until its complete exhaustion.

LONGER CHARGE LIFE: lithium-Ion batteries last 3–4 times longer than traditional Nickel-Cadmium batteries and their power storage lasts longer so they lose less power. Lithium-ion batteries can be recharged up to 2000 times!

LIGHTWEIGHT: Lithium batteries offer the best power-to-weight ratio. On average, they weigh 1/3 of nickel-cadmium batteries.

ENVIRONMENTALLY-FRIENDLY: Lithium-ion battery-powered tools are recyclable and are produced without heavy metals.

NO MEMORY EFFECT: Lithium-ion batteries can be recharged at any time without a negative memory effect; they are able to offer maximum power even after hundreds of charge cycles.
A few minutes of recharging is enough to provide the power needed to complete the job.

LOW DISCHARGE RATE: low loss of charge rate (up to 5 times lower than nickel-cadmium batteries) so your machine will be ready to use even after months of storage.

BATTERY CHARGER: lithium-ion batteries chargers allow reducing energy consumption by an average of 35%.
