Maintenance, Cleaning and Storage

Before any work on the garden product itself (e. g.
u
maintenance, tool change, etc.) as well as during
transport and storage, remove the battery from the
garden product. There is danger of injury when uninten-
tionally actuating the On/Off switch.
For safe and proper working, always keep the product
u
clean.
Do not place other objects on the garden product.
To ensure safe and efficient operation, always keep the
product and the ventilation slots clean.
Never spray the product with water.
Never immerse the product in water.
Store the product in a secure, dry place, out of the reach of
children.
Do not place other objects on the product.
Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to ensure safe working
with the product.
Inspect the product and replace worn or damaged parts for
safety.
Ensure replacement parts fitted are Bosch-approved.
Battery Maintenance
Use the following procedures to enable optimum usage of
the battery:
– Protect the battery against moisture and water.
– Store the machine and battery only within a temperature
range between –20 °C and 50 °C . As an example, do not
leave the battery in the car in summer.
– It is recommended that the battery is not stored within
the product but stored separately.
– Do not leave the battery in the product in direct sunlight.
– The ideal storage condition for the battery is 5 °C.
– Occasionally clean the venting slots of the battery using a
soft, clean and dry brush.
A significantly reduced working period after charging indic-
ates that the battery is used and must be replaced.
