Product details and specs
The SBC 900 D AE brushcutter delivers the performance of a 45cc petrol brush cutter – minus the hassle of refueling and emissions. Two 48V 7.5Ah batteries provide 70 minutes of non-stop cutting. And because these are held in a comfortable, connecting harness, you experience the optimal balance of power and weight. From large gardens and farms to city parks, wherever you’re working, the ergonomic bike handle design and compact guard makes clearing tall grass or tough vegetation easy. A 1Kw electric brushless transmission drives the aluminium gearcase, delivering high-power torque and progressive speed reduction, while keeping the noise level below 96 dbA. And for easy control, the soft-grip handlebar displays four integrated LEDS for battery level monitoring. The 43cm cutting width also features the Bump & Work system for quick line feeding of the cutting head. When the job’s complete, the handle folds 90° to make transport and storage simple.

Support
What kind of protective gear should I use?
Using this machine requires clothing that protects the legs and face from objects that could unexpectedly be thrown out during operation. It is always recommended to wear long trousers and a protective visor.
What kind of maintenance should I carry out?
To ensure that the machine is functioning correctly and to maximise its lifespan, we recommend regular (based on the frequency and intensity of use) cleaning of the battery housing and contacts as well as the cutting head (trimmer head and guard) – parts where a lot of dirt constantly builds up.
Remember that it is important to consult the user and maintenance manual for details of each of these tasks.

Which type of grass and shrubs can you work on?
This machine is able to tackle coarser plant conditions, from dense bushes with tall grass to shrub areas, where you can also cut the more stubborn plants and shrubs using the supplied metal blade.
How do you adjust the length of the line?
This model is fitted with a head using the Tap&Go system. This means that, while the machine is operating, you just have to press the control lever all the way to bring the head to maximum rotation and at the same time knock the head against the ground, which causes the line to feed out automatically. Its length can be adjusted simply, by cutting any excess to the length of the cutting blade located on the end of the guard.
For further information, see the instruction manual.
For further information, see the instruction manual.
The line no longer feeds out from the head. What might have happened?
The line failing to feed out may be associated with two main factors. The first, and the most likely, is that the line might be all used up and should therefore be replaced with a new reel. There is also the possibility that the line within the head has accidentally become caught in its own windings, and is preventing the end from freely feeding out through the holes. In this case, simply open the head and re-spool the line correctly inside.
These causes and solutions normally cover the majority of cases, but there may be a variety of others, associated with the methods of use, the surface treated and the weather conditions.
Note that consulting the user manual, in the section relating to the cutting head, may provide useful information for identifying the nature of the problem.
