u Caution: Switch the garden tool off and remove the
battery before performing any maintenance.
Connect shaft (see figures C and D)
Note: A connected shaft can no longer be dismounted.
Remove the transport safety (9).
Connect the individual parts of the shaft until they can be
heard to engage.
Mounting and adjusting the handle (see figure E)
The handle (1) can be set to different positions. To change
the adjustment, press buttons (7) and move the handle to
the desired position. Release the buttons (7) again so that
the handle can engage.
Mounting the protection guard (see figure F)

fasten it with the provided screw.
Switching on
u Caution: Switch garden tool off and remove battery
from machine before adjusting or cleaning.
u The cutting line continues to rotate for a few seconds
after the trimmer is switched off. Allow the motor/cut-
ting line to stop rotating before switching on again.
u Do not briefly switch off and on again several times in
a row.
u Only use Bosch approved cutting elements. Cutting
performance will vary with different cutting elements.
Charging the Battery
u Observe the correct mains voltage! The voltage of the
power supply must correspond with the data given on
the nameplate of the battery charger. Battery char-
gers 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 is supplied partially charged. To ensure
full battery capacity, completely charge the battery in the
battery charger before using for the first time.
The lithium-ion battery can be charged at any time without
reducing 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
discharged, the machine is switched off by means of a pro-
tective circuit: The garden product no longer operates.
Do not continue to press the On/Off switch after an auto-
matic shut-off of the machine. The battery can be dam-
aged.
Observe the notes for disposal of the battery.
Inserting/Removing the Battery (see figure G)
Note: Using unsuitable batteries can lead to malfunctions or
damage the machine.
Insert the charged battery (6). Ensure the battery is inserted
correctly.
To remove the battery (6) from the machine, press the bat-
tery unlocking button (5) and pull the battery out.
Charging Procedure
The charging procedure starts as soon as the mains plug of
the charger is plugged into a socket outlet and the battery
(6) is inserted onto the charger (10).
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.
