Karcher PCL 3-18 - Cordless Surface Cleaner - 18V - 2.5 Ah

The Karcher PCL 3-18 surface cleaner is designed to ensure a thorough and efficient cleaning of outdoor wooden surfaces, WPC, and smooth tiles. The modern and functional design features a compact body and aluminium handle. This structure ensures ease of handling and use.

It operates with an 18V Kärcher Battery Power, allowing cordless use and ensuring freedom of movement. The battery system includes a real-time LCD, showing remaining autonomy, charging times, and charge status. The lithium-ion technology provides constant power and long life.

The surface cleaner is equipped with two rotating roller brushes, easily replaceable without tools. These brushes effectively remove stubborn dirt, moss, and residues from surfaces. The working width allows simultaneous cleaning of two wooden boards, ensuring a quick and uniform operation.

The integrated water distribution system, through two oriented nozzles, dispenses water during cleaning. This way, dirt is dissolved and removed simultaneously. The ergonomic water regulation valve allows adjusting the flow according to the degree of dirt. The integrated storage system allows for orderly and safe storage of the surface cleaner, thanks to the possibility of separating the handle into two parts.

Distinctive Features:

• Interchangeable rotating brushes: deeply clean wood, WPC, and tiles; tool-free replacement.

• Integrated water distribution: removes and rinses dirt in one step.

• Ergonomic water regulation valve: allows precise control of water flow.

• 18V Kärcher Battery Power: autonomy visible on LCD and long operational life.

The LCD on the battery shows all necessary info: autonomy, charging times, battery capacity.

The 18V lithium-ion battery can be recharged at any time (like modern smartphone batteries, it has no memory effect) to always have it ready for use. It lasts on average 30 times longer than a normal battery. The battery is equipped with a convenient charge indicator and an activation button to prevent unwanted tool starts.

Advantages of the battery-powered electric motor

• More reliable than a combustion engine, thanks to its electric motor. It has no spark plug, filters, suction pipes, carburettors, etc., which are components prone to problems
• Much lighter
• Zero maintenance, for the same reasons mentioned above
• Lower consumption and drastically reduced operating costs compared to combustion models (with a few cents of electricity, you can perform the cut). Moreover, you don't always have to procure fuel (which should always be fresh).
• Zero vibrations, again thanks to the electric motor. Instead, almost all combustion systems, which are not equipped with a steel spring anti-vibration system, have a very high degree of vibrations, making the work really uncomfortable
• Zero fumes, zero harm to the environment and especially to the health of the user
• Much quieter and therefore more pleasant to use than a combustion engine

The PCL 3-18 floor cleaner is equipped with a convenient ergonomic handle, and two easily removable rotating brushes, just unscrew and remove the special rotary cap.

The main technical features are:

• Voltage: 18V
• Brush rotation speed: 500-600 rpm
• Maximum pressure achievable by the machine: 10 bar
• Water consumption at 4 bar: 180 l/h
• Working surface width: 300mm

The reverse rotation roller system ensures good cleaning efficiency by dissolving dirt in a single pass.

The controls for starting and using the floor cleaner are located on the handle. To operate the product, it is necessary to simultaneously press the central lever and the safety button located on the side.

This machine is equipped with a water flow regulation valve: to adapt the amount of water to the cleaning needs.

INCLUDED IN THE PURCHASE, A LITHIUM BATTERY AND THE RELATIVE CHARGER

Battery equipped with quick attachment: it detaches and slides out of the machine with a simple gesture, just press the quick attachment button.

Voltage: 18V
Amperage: 2.5 Ah

The practical battery can be recharged at any time, without memory effect (it does not tend to run out after many recharges) to always have excellent power.

Supplied with a practical charger (connects to the home power supply like a phone charger).

The battery attaches to the charger through the quick attachment, in the same way it attaches to the patio cleaner

Additional batteries can also be purchased for a very extended work autonomy

LONGER LIFE: up to 3 times longer than traditional 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 lithium-ion batteries does not fade. Unlike nickel-cadmium batteries, whose power gradually decreases, lithium battery cells maintain constant power throughout the entire cycle. You get practically the same charge from start to finish, without reducing the motor's rpm. The battery operates at full
power until it is completely depleted.

LONG CHARGE DURATION: Lithium batteries boast a number of recharges 3-4 times greater than traditional nickel-cadmium batteries, and at the same time longer storage times with
less charge loss. With lithium batteries, you can do up to 2,000 charge cycles!

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

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

NO MEMORY EFFECT: Lithium batteries can be recharged at any time without negative memory effect, they can indeed offer maximum power even after hundreds of charge cycles.
A few minutes of charging are enough to provide the power needed to complete the job.

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

CHARGER: lithium battery chargers allow reducing energy consumption by an average of 35%.
