Frequently Asked Questions - FINECUT GLORIA

How to charge the battery of the FINECUT?

Insert the battery into the charger and plug the charger into a power outlet (220-240 V). The indicator flashes during charging and stays steadily lit when the battery is fully charged. Charging takes about 154 minutes. Use only the supplied charger.

How to adjust the cutting height?

Using the supplied Allen key (3 mm), remove both wheels and reinsert them into the slots corresponding to the desired height: 30, 40 or 50 mm. Make sure both wheels are at the same height.

What to do if the device does not start?

Check that the battery is properly engaged, charged, and not overheated. If all 4 LEDs flash, let the device and battery cool down. If only one LED flashes, recharge the battery. If the problem persists, the battery may be defective.

How to replace the blades?

Turn off the device and remove the battery. Put on the protective sheath. Unscrew the 7 screws from the bottom cover, then the remaining screw. Remove the old blade set. Clean the housing and seals. Place the new blade set, aligning the gear marks. Screw the cover back on. Oil the new blades before use.

How to clean the edge trimmer?

Remove the battery. Clean the exterior with a damp cloth or soft brush. Do not use running water or abrasive cleaners. If the device is very dirty, disassemble the cutting mechanism and brush it. Then oil the blades.

Which batteries are compatible with the FINECUT?

Use only original GLORIA or BOSCH POWER FOR ALL 18V lithium-ion batteries. Compatible references are: 2.5 Ah (729101.0000), 4.0 Ah (729102.0000), as well as BOSCH 1.5 Ah, 2.0 Ah, 3.0 Ah, 5.0 Ah and 6.0 Ah.

How to adjust the cutting angle?

Turn off the device. Press both angle adjustment buttons (I) on the tube simultaneously. Tilt the tube to the desired angle from the 9 available positions. Release the buttons to lock.

7 Prior to initial commissioning

WARNING

BEFORE USE OBSERVE CHAPTER 2 "FOR YOUR SAFETY". You should aslo note the following safety instructions:

• The mains voltage must be in compliance with the voltage specification (V\~) on the type plate of the charger.
  ■ Use only the supplied charger with corresponding original Li-Ion battery (only item no. 001300.0000).

Operate charger only in dry rooms.

NOTE!

■ The battery (D) is only partially charged. Before initial use, fully charge battery. Please ensure that the charging procedure is performed at room temperature. This is the only way to ensure a long battery life.
- A significantly decreased runtime in spite of charging indicates that the battery is dead and must be replaced. Use only original Li-Ion batteries, which you can purchase from manufacturer's customer service.
- Charger and battery can heat up during charging. This is normal and not a sign of a technical defect.

■ The Lithium-Ion battery can be charged at any time, regardless of charge state. Premature interruption of charging does not cause damage to the battery. A protective circuit on the battery prevents depth discharge of battery.
■ The battery is equipped with temperature monitoring that only permits charging over a temperature range between 0 °C and 45 °C. This ensures a long battery life.
- Do not press the On/Off switch again if the FineCut 18V has switched itself off automatically. The battery can be damaged. Note the details concerning disposal of the battery.

7.1 Charging procedure

Figures 8 - 9 Remove battery (D) from packaging (only item no. 001300.0000).

3 The charging process starts as soon as the plug has been plugged into the power outlet and the battery (D) has been placed in the charger (M).

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.

Indicator statuses:

The charging process is indicated flashing of the battery charge indi-

A solid light on the battery charge is not for signals that the battery is fully charged or that the temperature of the battery is not within the permitted charging temperature range, and can therefore be charged. The battery is charged as it is the allowable charging temperature is reached. When the battery is inserted, a solid light on the battery is indicator signals that the mains are inserted in the plug socket and the charger is ready for operation.

9 Following a successful charging procedure, first disconnect the charger plug from the power outlet, then remove the battery from the charger.

8 Use and commissioning

Figures 10 - 15

Five black-and-white safety symbols: person wearing glasses, helmet, hand gesture, triangular warning sign, and shoe.

WARNING

BEFORE COMMISSIONING OBSERVE CHAPTER 2 "FOR YOUR SAFETY".

8.1 Inserting the battery

ATTENTION

10 When inserting the battery, ensure that the contacts at the device and the battery itself are dry. Insert the charged battery into the device as shown into place.

■ Make sure that the surface to be cut is free from debris e.g. stones, screws etc., which could be flung up.

8.2 Commissioning

ATTENTION

Improper use of the device poses a risk of damage to property! You should therefore observe the following safety instructions:

• When working on the lawn border, make sure that you do not damage the edge of the curb (e.g. when tilting or tipping the device) or that the edge of the curb damages or bends the blade bar.
• The knife blades are precisely adjusted for grass cutting. Cutting branches and bushes will result in a loss of pre-tension and thus reduce the quality of the grass cut.
• Check the lawn surface to be trimmed beforehand to avoid damage to device/objects or injuries to living beings. Power lines, stones, pieces of wood, wires or the like, as well as other foreign objects must be removed. Objects that the grass trimmer pick up can be cut.

NOTE!

11 Remove the blade guard (K).
12 Clean the grass trimmer before or after each use. Oil the blades with machine oil or spray lubricating oil before or after use.

■ Before using the grass trimmer, first mow the lawn using the lawnmower / lawn robot.

■ Adjust the cutting height (3/4/5 cm) as described in section 6.2.

■ Place the FINECUT18V on the lawn and switch the device on.

13 Now move the device once slowly forwards and back on the lawn. Do not apply pressure to the device. Leaving the grass trimmer at one position for too long can damage the turf

NOTE!

If too much cut grass settles on the blade bar, switch off the device, lift it slightly and shake off the grass.

ATTENTION

Improper use of the device poses a risk of damage to property! You should therefore observe the following safety instructions:

- When cutting around curbs, fences, or trees, make sure the blade bar does not come into contact with them.

12 Oil the blades at least once an hour (machine oil or spray lubricating oil).

8.2.1 Angle adjustment

Your FINECUT18V is equipped with an angle adjustment mechanism (I) which allows you to trim your lawn even in hard-to-reach areas. Proceed as follows to adjust the angle of the tube:

CAUTION

RISK OF INJURY FROM OSCILLATING METAL BLADES!

■ Switch off your device when adjusting the angle!

Figures 14 - 15

14 - 15 Press both angle adjustment buttons (I) simultaneously to adjust the tube. The angle (I) can be adjusted in 9 stages. You can therefore work under obstacles when it is set flat.

8.2.2 Battery status indicator

The device is equipped with a battery charge indicator (C) that displays the charging status of the battery. The displays only light up when the device is switched on.

Battery capacity (green LEDs):

Reserve ≤ 30% ≤ 60% 100%

Temperature protection:

Low voltage cutoff

i NOTE!

In rare cases, after the battery has been removed and then reinserted, the battery status indicator (green LEDs) can display a higher battery power than before battery removal. The reason is that the last battery power during operation is saved in the device. Once the battery has been removed and reinserted into the device, the battery power is re-measured and a higher power can therefore be displayed on the indicator.

8.2.3 Battery runtime

The battery operating time essentially depends on the load on the device and can lead to shorter battery operating times. Another factor is overly frequent starting and stopping during cutting, which can also reduce battery operating time.

9 Maintenance & Cleaning
