Do not work in the rain or leave the trimmer outdoors whilst it is raining.
- Never operate the trimmer with damaged guards or shields or without guards or shields in position.

Do not use the charger if the cord is damaged.
Before using the machine and after impact, check for signs of wear or damage and repair if necessary. - Do not operate the trimmer when barefoot or wearing open sandals, always wear substantial footwear and long trousers. - Never allow children or people unfamiliar with these instructions to use the trimmer. Local regulations may restrict the age of the operator. When not in use store the trimmer out of reach of children. Never work with this trimmer while people, especially children or pets are nearby. The operator or user is responsible for accidents or hazards occurring to other people or their property.
Wait until the blade has completely stopped before touching it. The blade continues to rotate after the trimmer is switched off; a rotating blade can cause injury. Work only in daylight or in good artificial light. Avoid operating the trimmer in wet grass, where feasible. Switch off when transporting the trimmer to and from the area to be worked on. Switch on the trimmer with hands and feet well away from the rotating line. Do not put hands or feet near the rotating blade. Never fit metal cutting elements to this trimmer. Inspect and maintain the trimmer regularly. Have the trimmer repaired only by an authorized customer service agent. Always ensure that the ventilation slots are kept clear of debris. Switch off and remove battery from the trimmer: whenever you leave the unit unattended for any period, before replacing the blade, before cleaning or working on the trimmer. Store the machine in a secure dry place out of reach of children. Do not place other objects on top of the machine. Replace worn or damaged parts for safety. Ensure replacement parts fitted are Bosch approved. Ensure the switch is in the off position before inserting battery pack. Inserting the battery pack into machines that have the switch on invites accidents. Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack. Use machines only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire. When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small metal objects that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.

Operating Controls
1 On/Off switch 2 Handle 3 Guide handle 4 Shaft, upper 5 Shaft, lower 6 Trimmer head 7 Ventilation slots 8 Cutting guard 9 Battery
10 Battery charger 11 Charging compartment 12 LED indicator 13 Mains plug** 14 Serial No
**Country specific
Not all of the accessories illustrated or described are included as standard delivery.
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 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. 3h-5h), 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.
Assembly

Do not connect the battery before the product is completely assembled.
Ensure the product is assembled in the following order:
A. Assemble trimmer shaft
Push the upper shaft 4 and lower shaft 5 together until a click can be heard.
Note: Once the upper and lower shaft are assembled, they cannot be disassembled.
Ensure the internal cable is not trapped or twisted.
B. Mounting the Cutting Guard
Place the cutting guard 8 on the trimmer head 6.
Hook the guard onto the trimmer head and push until secure fitting. Push the rear of the guard until secure (click).
Fitting Cutting Disc / Fitting Blade
Press cutting disc 15 onto the 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.
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

medium conditions:
up to 300 metres

tough conditions:
up to 50 metres
Maintenance

Before any work on the machine itself, remove battery from machine.
Note: To ensure long and reliable service, carry out the following maintenance regularly.
Regularly check for obvious defects such as loose fixings, and worn or damaged components.
Check that covers and guards are undamaged and correctly fitted. Carry out necessary maintenance or repairs before using.
If the trimmer should happen to fail despite the care taken in manufacture and testing, repair should be carried out by an authorized customer service agent for Bosch garden products.
For all correspondence and spare parts orders, always include the 10-digit part number (TYP) from the nameplate of the machine!

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.
Clean the pivot 17 of any residual plastic/debris with a sharp knife.
To refit the new blade 16, place the eyelet over the pivot 17 and pull outwards until it snaps into place.
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.
After Trimming/Storage

Stop and remove battery from product. Ensure battery is removed before storage.
Clean the exterior of the machine thoroughly using a soft brush and cloth. Do not use water, solvents or polishes. 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 0 - 45°C; incorrect storage could result in the battery being damaged.

For your safety
Warning! Disconnect the power tool and remove the battery pack before adjusting or cleaning the power tool.
After switching off the chainsaw, the cutting chain will continue to run for a few seconds due to inertia.
Warning: Do not touch the moving cutting chain.
Charging the battery pack
The charging process begins when the plug is inserted into the socket 11 and the battery pack 9 is inserted.
The green LED 12 does not indicate the state of charge of the battery pack!
The illumination of the green LED indicates that charging is in progress.
Charging the battery takes approximately 3-5 hours. Disconnect the device from the battery charger and the battery from its socket.
The battery must be charged for at least 5.5 hours.
Follow the alarm sequence carefully:
Mounting the alarm siren tube
Insert the upper part 4 and the lower part 5 of the tube into each other until you hear a click.
Note: Once the upper and lower parts of the tube are joined, they cannot be separated again.
Make sure the cables are not pinched or squeezed.
Mounting the protective cover
Place the protective cover 8 on the head of the alarm siren.
Slide the protective cover onto the head of the alarm siren until it stops.
Press the protective cover until it clicks into place.
Mounting the disc/knife blade
Remove stones, wood remnants, and other debris from the cutting area.
After turning off the alarm siren, the disc/knife blade may still be spinning due to inertia. Before turning it on again, wait for the electric motor/blade to stop completely.
Do not turn on the power tool immediately after turning it off.
Switching on and off
Press and hold the start trigger 1. To switch off, release the start trigger 1.

Working with the tool
Hold the tool by the insulated gripping surfaces, keeping a sufficient distance from the blade.
The tool can be used for cutting branches up to 15 cm in diameter. For thicker branches, use a saw.
Cutting near wood and shrubs
When cutting near wood and shrubs, be careful that the blade does not come into contact with the ground.
Plants may be damaged if the bark is broken.
Battery runtime
The battery runtime depends on the working conditions:

Light working conditions: up to 500 meters
Medium working conditions: up to 300 meters
Heavy working conditions: up to 50 meters
Maintenance

Before performing any maintenance on the power tool, remove the battery.
Warning: Read the operating instructions before using the power tool to ensure safe operation.
Regularly check the power tool for visible defects, such as loose connections, wear, or damaged parts.
Clean the tool with a soft brush or cloth from any remaining dust or plastic residue.
To mount a new blade 16, place blade 16 on the flange 17, press it down and tighten it until you feel resistance.
Warning: Use only original spare blades, manufactured by us. They are specially designed for optimal performance and safe operation. Using other blades may lead to reduced efficiency.
Storage

Disconnect the power tool and remove the battery pack. Before storing the power tool, make sure the battery pack is removed.
Clean the tool with a soft brush and cloth. Do not use water or solvents/cleaners. Remove any debris from the tool, especially from the ventilation slots 7.
Place the power tool on a stable surface and clean the blade guard 8. If the blade is worn, replace it with a suitable spare blade or plastic.
The battery pack must be stored at a temperature between 0 and 45°C.
