Charging Procedure - Bosch EasyHedgeCut 18-45 Manual Original

That the vibration and noise emissions during actual use of
the power tool can differ from the declared values depend-
ing on the ways in which the tool is used especially what kind
of workpiece is processed; and of the need to identify safety
measures to protect the operator that are based on an estim-
ation of the exposure measures in the actual conditions of
use (taking account of all parts of the operating cycle such as
the times when the tool is switched off and when it is running
idle in addition to the trigger time).
Switching on
For Your Safety
Caution: Switch garden tool off and remove battery
u
from machine before adjusting or cleaning.
The blades continue to move for a fraction of a second
u
after the hedge trimmer is switched off.
Do not touch the moving blades.
u
Charging the Battery
Pay attention to the mains voltage. The voltage of the
u
power source must match the voltage specified on the
rating plate of the charger.
The battery is equipped with temperature monitoring that al-
lows charging only in the temperature range between 0 °C
and 35 °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 cause damage to the battery.
The "Electronic Cell Protection (ECP)" protects the lithium-
ion battery against deep discharging. When the battery is
empty, the product is switched off by means of a protective
circuit: The product no longer operates.
Do not continue to press the On/Off switch after an auto-
matic shut-off of the product. The battery could become
damaged.
Observe the notes for disposal of the battery.
Inserting/Removing the Battery (see figure B)
Note: Using unsuitable batteries can lead to malfunctions or
damage the machine.
Insert the charged battery (9). Ensure the battery is inserted
correctly.
To remove the battery (9) from the machine, press the bat-
tery unlocking button (8) 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
(9) is inserted onto the charger (7).
Bosch Power Tools
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.
Understanding the Indicators (AL 1815 CV)
Flashing battery charge indicator
The charging process is indicated by the flash-
ing of the battery charge indicator .
Continuous lighting of the battery charge indicator
Continuous lighting of the battery charge in-
Full
dicator indicates that the battery is fully
charged or that the temperature of the battery is not within
the allowable 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 indicates that the mains plug is in-
serted in the socket outlet and that the battery charger is
ready for operation.
Meaning of the Indication Elements
(AL 1830 CV)
(Fast) Flashing of the Green Battery Charge Indicator
The rapid-charging procedure is indicated by
fast flashing of the green battery charge in-
dicator .
Note: The rapid-charging procedure is only possible when
the battery temperature is within the allowable charging
temperature 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
flashes slowly.
The battery can be removed for immediate use.
Continuous Lighting of the Green Battery Charge
Indicator
Continuous lighting of the green battery
Full
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 outlet 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.
