General Maintenance - Bosch 18V LI-ION Gebrauchsanweisung

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

• Always check before using that the grass trimmer is in good condition, i.e. there
are no loose or damaged parts. Check that the screws in the trimmer head are fully
tightened.
• Check that the safety guard is not damaged and correctly fitted. Replace the
trimmer head if necessary.
• Replace the trimmer blade if necessary.
STORAGE
• Store the grass trimmer in a dry location beyond the reach of children.
• Do not rest the grass trimmer on the safety guard. Hang it by the upper handle
and check that the safety guard is not in contact with any other objects. The safety
guard must not become deformed as this will compromise safety.
• To ensure the battery keeps its charge, do not expose the trimmer to extreme heat
or cold in storage.
• Remove the battery if you put the grass trimmer in long-term storage.
ENVIRONMENT SAFETY
• Take used batteries and accessories and packaging to a recycling station.
• Gardening power tools and equipment must not be disposed of with household
waste.
• Take the grass trimmer to a recycling station if it is beyond repair.
• Plastic and metal parts of the trimmer can be sorted for recycling.
• Do not dispose of used batteries with household waste. Risk of fire or explosion.
Used batteries disposed of incorrectly can harm the environment and are an
environmental hazard if battery fluid leaks out.
• Fully discharge the battery before disposing of it. We recommend covering the
battery poles with self adhesive tape to avoid a short circuit. Do not open the
battery.
• Check local regulations on disposing of batteries. Take spent batteries to a used
battery collection point where they will be recycled in an environment friendly way.
Please contact your local authority for more information.
