The Aesculap Econom CL GT824 is a cordless sheep-shearing machine supplied with one lithium-ion battery and an Econom blade pair. Its four-tooth GT578 upper cutter works with the 13-tooth GT588 lower comb for a specified 3.5 mm cutting length. This configuration uses the GT369 cutter head, with the exact blade numbers helping identify the correct replacements for routine shearing work.

A brushless EC motor and spur-gear drive produce approximately 2,700 strokes per minute. The electronic controller varies power delivery as the cutting load changes, supporting consistent operation while using the available battery energy. A recessed push button helps reduce unintended switching during handling, and the balanced machine layout supports control of the cutting head.

The current GT824 product specification lists a 21.6 V operating voltage, a 3,500 mAh lithium-ion battery, approximately 70 minutes of running time and an 80-minute charge time. Its battery management enters standby after an hour of inactivity. The working weight is 1,470 g including the battery and blades, and the specified sound pressure level is 72 dB.

The set includes the shearing machine, one battery, a charging station, GT578 cutter, GT588 comb, Aesculap GT604 oil and a plastic carrying case. The battery is removable, allowing a charged compatible replacement to be fitted when needed. Additional batteries are separate accessories.

Keep the cutting plates lubricated and follow the instructions for setting their pressure and alignment. Routine maintenance also includes clearing the cutter head and air filter of accumulated material. Remove the battery before changing blades or cleaning the machine, let a cleaned filter dry before refitting it, and store the equipment clean and dry between shearing sessions.
