For Your Safety

Warning! Switch off, remove battery from machine before adjusting or cleaning. The blade continues to rotate for a few seconds after the trimmer is switched off. Caution do not touch rotating blade. Charging Procedure The charging procedure starts as soon as the mains plug 13 is plugged into the socket and the battery 9 is inserted into the charging compartment 11. The green LED 12 is not a charge control indicator! When the green LED is lit, it indicates that a charging current flows. After the end of the charging process (approx. 3 h 4 h), pull the mains plug of the battery charger from the socket and remove the battery. The battery should not be charged for longer than 5.5 hours. A temperature increase of the battery indicates that it is fully charged. Charging Advice With continuous or several repetitive charging cycles without interruption, the charger can warm up. This is not harmful and does not indicate a technical defect of the unit. A battery that is new or has not been used for a longer period does not develop its full capacity until after approximately 5 charging/discharging cycles. Leave such batteries in the charging compartment until they have clearly warmed up. A significantly reduced working period after charging indicates that the batteries are used and must be replaced.
Push rear of guard until secure (click).
C Fitting Cutting Disc/Fitting Blade Press cutting disc 15 onto drive adaptor as shown (click). Fit the blade, place the blade 16 over the pivot 17 and pull outwards until it snaps into place.

Cutting and Edging

Remove stones, loose pieces of wood and other objects from the cutting area. The blade continues to rotate for a few seconds after the trimmer is switched off. Allow the motor/blade to stop rotating before switching on again. Do not rapidly switch off and on. Switching On and Off Press switch 1 and hold depressed. Release switch 1 for switching off.
D Cutting Grass Move the trimmer left and right, keeping it well away from the body. The trimmer can efficiently cut grass up to a height of 15 cm. Cut taller grass in stages.
Cutting Around Trees and Bushes Carefully cut around trees and bushes so that they do not come into contact with the cutting line. Plants can die if you damage the bark. Battery duration Battery duration is dependent on the working conditions: light conditions: up to 500 metres

Remove all grass and debris, especially from the ventilation slots 7. Turn the machine on its side and clean the cutting guard 8 inside. If grass cuttings are compacted, remove with a wooden or plastic implement. Battery should be stored between C; incorrect storage could result in the battery being damaged.

Blade Maintenance

Before any work on the machine itself, remove battery from machine. To remove the worn blade 16 push in direction of the arrow until it snaps off the pivot 17.

Note: Only use Bosch replacement blades. They have been developed specially for improved cutting performance. The use of other cutter blades will lead to a deterioration in performance and possible damage to the product.
