Starting
For Your Safety
Warning: Switch off and remove battery from machine before adjusting or
cleaning.
The blade continues to rotate for a few seconds after the cordless trimmer
is switched off. Allow the motor/blade to stop rotating before switching “on”
again.
Do not rapidly switch off and on.
Only use Bosch approved cutting elements. Cutting performance will vary with
different cutting elements.
Battery Charging
Do not use other battery chargers. The supplied battery charger is designed
for the Lithium-Ion battery in your garden product.
Observe the mains voltage! The voltage of the power supply must correspond
with the data given on the name- plate of the battery charger. Battery
chargers marked with 230 V can also be operated with 220 V.
The battery is equipped with temperature monitoring that allows charging only
in the temperature range between 0 °C and 45 °C. In this manner, a high
battery service life is achieved.
Note: The battery is supplied partially charged. To ensure full capacity
of the battery, completely charge the battery in the battery charger before
using your power tool for the first time. The lithium-ion battery can be
charged at any time without reducing its service life. Interrupting the
charging procedure does not damage the battery. The “Electronic Cell
Protection (ECP)” protects the lithium ion battery against deep discharging.
When the battery is run down or discharged, the garden product is shut off by
means of a protective circuit: The blade no longer moves.
Important Do not continue to press the On/Off switch after the garden
product has been automatically switched off. The battery can be damaged.
Battery charge-control indication
The battery charge-control indicator on the handle of the product will
indicate a low charge condition of the battery by flashing three times when
the On/Off switch is pressed. If this occurs, please remove the battery and
recharge.
Charging Procedure
The charging procedure starts as soon as the mains plug is plugged into the
socket and the battery is then inserted into the battery charger . Due to the
intelligent charging method, the charging condition of the battery is
automatically detected and the battery is charged with the optimum charging
current, depending on battery temperature and voltage. This gives longer life
to the battery and always leaves it fully charged when kept in the charger for
storage.
Note: The charging procedure is only possible when the battery
temperature is within the allowable charging temperature range, see section
“Technical Data”.
Flashing Battery Charge Indicator
charging procedure is signalled by a flashing battery charge indicator .
Continuous Lighting of the Battery Charge Indicator
Continuous lighting of the battery charge indicator indicates that the
battery is fully charged or that the temperature of the battery is not within
the allowable charging temperature range, and cannot be charged for this
reason. The battery is charged as soon as the allowable charging temperature
range is reached. When the battery is not inserted, continuous lighting of the
battery charge indicator indicates that the mains plug is in- sorted in the
socket and that the battery charger is ready for operation.
Charging Advice
With continuous or several repetitive charging cycles without interruption,
the charger can warm up. This is not meaningful and does not indicate a
technical defect of the battery charger. A significantly reduced working
period after charging indicates that the battery is used and must be replaced.
