 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 mo-
tor/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 gar-
den 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 al-
lows 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 re-
ducing 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.

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
5
The charging procedure starts as soon as the mains plug is
6
plugged into the socket and the battery is then inserted into
7
the battery charger .
Due to the intelligent charging method, the charging condi-
8
tion of the battery is automatically detected and the battery is
charged with the optimum charging current, depending on
9
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 bat-
tery temperature is within the allowable charging tempera-
ture range, see section "Technical Data".
Flashing Battery Charge Indicator
The charging procedure is signalled by a
flashing battery charge indicator .

in 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-
serted 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 charg-
er.
A significantly reduced working period after charging indi-
cates that the battery is used and must be replaced.
Do not continue to press the On/Off
switch after the garden product has
