use of the battery, vapours may be
emitted. Ventilate the area and
seek medical help in case of complaints. The vapours can irritate the
respiratory system.
Use the battery only in conjunction
with your Bosch product. This
measure alone protects the battery
against dangerous overload.
The battery can be damaged by
pointed objects such as nails or
screwdrivers or by force applied
externally. An internal short circuit
can occur and the battery can burn,
smoke, explode or overheat.
Do not short-circuit the battery.
There is danger of explosion.
Protect the battery against moisture

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 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.
Rapid-charging Procedure
Starting
For Your Safety
Warning! Switch off, remove the isolator key and the
battery before adjusting, cleaning or if cable is cut,
damaged or entangled.
The blades continue to rotate for a few seconds after
the machine is switched off.
Caution – do not touch the rotating blade.
Battery Charging
Do not use other battery chargers. The supplied battery
charger is designed for the Lithium-Ion battery in your garden product.
Observe the mains voltage! The voltage of the power
supply must correspond with the data given on the nameplate 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 allows charging only in the temperature range between 0 °C
and 45 ° C. In this manner, a high battery service life is
achieved.
The rapid-charging procedure is indicated by flashing of the
green charge control LED.
Indication element of the battery: During the charging procedure, the three green LEDs light up one after the other and
briefly go out. The battery is fully charged when the three
green LEDs light up continuously. The three LEDs go out again
approx. 5 minutes after the battery has been fully charged.
Note: The rapid-charging procedure is only possible when the
battery temperature is within the allowable charging temperature range, see section “Technical Data”.
Battery Charged
Continuous lighting of the green charge control LED sig-
nals that the battery is fully charged.

The battery temperature is within the optimal charging temperature range when the fan is not running. Another reason
for a non working fan might be that it is defective. In this case,
the charging time of the battery might be extended.
Working Advice
Battery Charge-control Indication
The battery is equipped with a charge-control indicator
which indicates its charge condition. The charge-control indicator consists of 3 green LEDs.
Press the button to actuate the charge-control indicator . After approx. 5 seconds, the charge-control indicator goes out
automatically.
The charge condition can also be checked when the battery is
removed.
LED Indicators Battery Capacity
Continuous lighting of 3 green LEDs ≥ 2/3
Continuous lighting of 2 green LEDs ≥ 1/3
Continuous lighting of 1 green LED ≤ 1/3
Flashing of 1 green LED Reserve
When no LED lights up after actuating the button, the battery
is defective and must be replaced.
For safety reasons, the charge condition of the battery can
only be checked when the garden product is at a standstill.
During the charging procedure, the three green LEDs light up
one after the other and briefly go out. The battery is fully
charged when the three green LEDs light up continuously. The
three LEDs go out again approx. 5 minutes after the battery
has been fully charged.
Temperature Control Indicator
If a different malfunction of the charging procedure is present, this will be indicated through flashing of the red charge
control LED.
The charging procedure cannot be started and the battery
cannot be charged (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 charger.
A significantly reduced working period after charging indicates that the battery is used and must be replaced.
Observe the notes for disposal.
Battery Cooling (Active Air Cooling)
The fan control integrated in the battery charger controls the
temperature of the inserted battery. When the battery temperature is above 30 ° C, a fan cools down the battery to the
optimal charging temperature. The switched-on fan produce s
a fan noise.
The red LED signals that the battery or the electronics of the
garden product (with battery inserted) are not within the optimum temperature range. When this occurs the garden product will not operate or not at full capacity.
Temperature Control of the Battery
The red LED flashes when you press the button or the On/Off
switch (with battery inserted): The battery is outside of the
permitted operating temperature range.
The battery switches off at a temperature above 70 ° C until
the optimum temperature range is reached again.
Temperature Control of the Garden Product
Electronics
The red LED lights up continuously when pressing the
On/Off switch: The temperature of the garden product electronics is below 5 ° C or above 75 ° C.
At a temperature above 90 ° C, the electronics of the garden
