Electrical Safety
Your machine is double insulated for safety and requires no earth connection. The operating voltage is 230V AC, 50Hz (for non-EU countries 220V , 240V as applicable). Only use approved extension cables. Contact your Bosch Service Centre for details.
It is recommended for increased electrical safety to use a Residual Current Device (RCD) with a tripping current of not more than 30mA . Always check your RCD every time you use it.
WARNING: For safety, it is essential that the mains plug 15 attached to the product is fitted to the power supply cable 17.
The couplings of connection leads must be protected against splashes and the coupling sockets on the leads must be made of rubber or coated with rubber.
Fixing means for the connection leads must be used.
The connection lead must be inspected for signs of damage at regular intervals and may only be used if in perfect condition.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a Bosch Service Centre.
Extension cords/leads should only be used if they comply with H05VV-F or H05RN-F types.
Products sold in GB only: Your product is fitted with an approved 13 A (BS 1363/A) electric plug and is protected by a 3 A fuse (ASTA Approved to BS 1362).
If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place.
The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a possible shock hazard and should never be inserted into a 13 A socket elsewhere.
Assembly
Do not connect the machine to the mains socket before it is completely assembled.
A Mounting the Cutting Guard
Place the cutting guard 10 on the trimmer head 7.
Hook the guard onto trimmer head and push until secure fitting.
Push rear of guard until secure (click).
Mounting the Wheels
(ART 30/3000 COMBITRIM only)
Fit the wheels 11 onto the shaft 6.
32 Fit the bolt 19 and the wingnut 18.
Note: The position of the wheels can be adjusted by loosening the wingnut 18 and moving to the desired position.
The wheels can be moved up and down the shaft 6 depending on the height of cut required.
Adjustment
Using Adjustable Handle
The adjustable handle 4 can be set in various positions:
To change the position undo the handle wing nut 3 and move the adjustable handle 4.
2 Tighten the handle wing nut 3 securely to fix the adjustable handle 4 in the adjusted position.
D Adjusting Product length
1 Loosen the adjustment collar 590^
Pull the shaft out to increase the height, or push the shaft in to decrease the height. Re-tighten adjustment collar 5.
Adjusting cutting head angle:
To change the angle depress the foot pedal 12 and move the shaft 6 to the desired position.
Release the foot pedal 12.
Adjusting for Edging Mode
F Moving wheels (where fitted):
1 Loosen wingnut 18.
Twist wheels 11 90^ as shown.
3 Tighten wingnut 18.

Cutting and Edging
Remove stones, loose pieces of wood and other objects from the cutting area.
The cutting line continues to rotate for a few seconds after the trimmer is switched off. Allow the motor/cutting line 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.
Remove the wheels when cutting long grass (ART 30/3000 COMBITRIM only).
Cutting Very Long Grass/Weeds
The product is supplied with Extra Strong Line and a fixing spool, fit as described in spool maintenance.
Fitting the Extra Strong Line for very long tough conditions will improve the performance and give better results.
J Trimming Edges
Guide the trimmer along the edge of the lawn. Do not allow the cutting line to contact paved surfaces, stones or garden walls, since this will wear the line rapidly.
For better control use the plant protector 9 (ART 30/3000 COMBITRIM only - available as an accessory for ART 23/26/2300/2600 COMBITRIM) as a guide.
K 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.
For better control use adjustable handle 4 and use the plant protector 9 (ART 30/3000 COMBITRIM only - available as an accessory for ART 30/3000 COMBITRIM).
Feeding the Line
The rotating line can wear or break. You will notice when the motor runs without load and no grass is cut.
While operating the trimmer press the ground or a solid surface, then release (necessary pressure approx. 3kg ). This action will allow the feed button 20 to release the line out. The spool will release approx. 4cm of line per action.
When the line breaks off completely, feed twice to regain the full cutting circle.
M If the line is exceeding the maximum cutting circle it will be cut by the blade 24 integrated in the cutting guard 10.
Maintenance
Stop and remove plug from the power supply.
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!
Spool Maintenance
Stop and remove plug from the power supply.
M Replacing the Line Spool
Hold the spool plate 23 in position.
Turn the spool cover 21 counter-clockwise and remove.
Take the empty spool 25 out from the spool cover.
Thread the line of the new/refilled spool through the eyehole 22 and place the spool in the spool cover 21.
Pull approx. 9cm of line out of the spool.
Place spool with cover 21 on the spool plate in the correct position (bayonet fastening), press down and turn fully clockwise (click).
Fitting Extra Strong Line Spool
Hold the spool plate 23 in position.
Turn the spool cover 21 counter-clockwise and remove.
Place the Extra Strong Line spool 14 on the spool plate in the correct position (bayonet fastening), press down and turn fully clockwise (click).
When the Extra Strong Line breaks, us the above procedure to remove the spool and fit the Extra Strong replacement Line 13 as shown to the spool.
Replacement Extra Strong Line can be stored on the product as shown in main figure.
N Refilling Line
Take out the spool 25 as described above.
Press the cover ring 27 together, push it forward and detach over the smaller diameter of the spool.
Cut off approx. 8 m line from the refill roll. Press one end into the notch of the spool so that it stands out approx. 4 mm.
Wind on the line tightly and in orderly layers in arrow direction.
Thread the line's end through the slot 26 in the cover ring 27 from the inside.
Keep the line tight and slide the cover ring 27 over the smaller diameter of the spool.
Build in the spool as described above.
Note: Only use Bosch replacement line. It has been developed specially for improved cutting and feeding performance. The use of other line will lead to a deterioration in performance.
After Trimming/Storage
Stop and remove plug from the power supply.
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 8.
Turn the machine on its side and clean the cutting guard 10 inside. If grass cuttings are compacted, remove with a wooden or plastic implement.
Hang the cable on the hook provided. DO NOT wrap/loop the supply/extension cable around the hook and the guard together - this will cause the cable to be in contact with the guard blade which can damage the cable. ONLY hang on the hook provided.
