Bosch Power Tools
F 016 L70 778 | (27.10.10)
The battery is equipped with temperature mon-
itoring that allows charging only in the tempera-
ture range between 0 °C and 45 °C. In this man-
ner, a high battery service life is achieved.
Note:
The battery is supplied partially charged.
To ensure full capacity of the battery, complete-
ly charge the battery in the battery charger be-
fore using your power tool for the first time.
The lithium ion battery can be charged at any
time without reducing its service life. Interrupt-
ing the charging procedure does not damage the
battery.
Removing the Battery (see figure A)
Press the battery unlocking button and pull out
the battery
15
toward the rear.
Charging Procedure (see figure A)
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
14
.
Firstly, place the battery
15
as shown in the fig-
ure onto the front of the battery charger (
n
) and
then press the battery
15
down at the rear (
o
).
To remove the battery, proceed in reverse order.
Due to the intelligent charging method, the
charging condition of the battery is automatical-
ly detected and the battery is charged with the
optimum charging current, depending on bat-
tery 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 al-
lowable charging temperature range, see sec-
tion “Technical Data”.
Flashing Battery Charge Indicator 13
The charging procedure is sig-
nalled by a
flashing
battery
charge indicator
13
.
Continuous Lighting of the Battery Charge In-
dicator 13
Continuous lighting
of the
battery charge indicator
13
indicates that the battery is
fully charged
or
that the tem-
perature of the battery is not within the allowa-
ble 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
13
indi-
cates that the mains plug is inserted in the sock-
et and that the battery charger is ready for oper-
ation.
Charging Advice
With continuous or several repetitive charging
cycles without interruption, the charger can
warm up. This is not meaningful and does not in-
dicate a technical defect of the battery charger.
A significantly reduced working period after
charging indicates that the battery is used and
must be replaced.
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 protec-
tive circuit: The blade no longer moves.
Do not continue to press the
On/Off switch after the garden
product has been automatically switched off.
The battery can be damaged.
Product Assembly
f
Do not insert the battery until the cordless
trimmer is completely assembled.

bled in the following order:
Mounting the Blade Guard (see figure B)
Place the blade guard
11
on the trimmer head
9
.
