Quick guide from the manual
This document provides essential instructions for the Bosch EasyGrassCut 18V-230, 18V-26, and 18V-260 grass trimmers. It covers safe operation, assembly, battery maintenance, and troubleshooting. Always ensure the battery is removed before performing any maintenance or adjustments.
Assembly
The trimmer requires assembly of the shaft and the protection guard. Once the shaft is assembled, it cannot be disassembled. Ensure the protection guard is securely fastened with the provided screw before use.
Operation
To operate, press the lock-off button followed by the on/off switch. The trimmer head can be rotated 180° for edge cutting. Move the trimmer from side to side, keeping a safe distance from your body. For edge cutting, guide the trimmer along the lawn edge. Avoid contact with solid surfaces to prevent rapid line wear.
Battery Handling
Use only recommended chargers. Protect the battery from heat, fire, water, and moisture. Clean ventilation slots occasionally with a soft, dry brush.
Maintenance and Cleaning
Regularly inspect the trimmer for damage. Always wear protective gloves when cleaning or replacing the cutting line. If the line breaks or is too short, use the manual line feed button or the semi-automatic system.
Troubleshooting
If the motor does not start, check if the battery is charged or if it is too hot/cold. For heavy vibrations, check if the cutting line is broken or if grass is stuck in the spool housing.
