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 supplied is 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 garden product no longer oper-
ates.
Do not continue to press the On/Off
switch after the garden product has
been automatically switched off.
The battery can be dam-
aged.
Charging Procedure
The charging procedure starts as soon as the mains plug of
the battery charger is plugged into the socket outlet and the
battery is inserted into the charging compartment .
Due to the intelligent charging method, the charging condi-
tion 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.
Meaning of the Indication Elements
(Fast) Flashing of the Green Battery Charge
Indicator
The rapid-charging procedure is indicated by
fast flashing
of the
green
battery charge indica-
tor .
Note:
The rapid-charging procedure is only possible when the
battery temperature is within the allowable charging temper-
ature range, see section “Technical Data”.
(Slow) Flashing of the Green Battery Charge
Indicator
When the charging condition of the battery is
80 %
, the
green
battery charge indicator
flash-
es slowly
.
The battery can be removed for immediate use.
Continuous Lighting of the Green Battery Charge
Indicator
Continuous lighting
of the
green
battery charge
indicator indicates that the battery is fully
charged.
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.
Continuous Lighting of the Red Battery Charge
Indicator
Continuous lighting
of the
red
battery charge
indicator indicates that the temperature of the
battery is not within the allowable charging temperature
range, see section “Technical Data”. As soon as the allowable
charging temperature range is reached, the battery charger
automatically switches to rapid charging.
Flashing Red Battery Charge Indicator
A
flashing
red
battery charge indicator indicates
a different malfunction of the charging proce-
dure, see section “Troubleshooting”.
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.
