slots.
Turn the machine on its back and clean the blade area regular-
ly. Use a stiff brush or scraper to remove compacted grass
clippings. (see figure A)

Battery Hazards
 Recharge only in the Bosch approved docking station.
 In the unlikely event of liquid being ejected from the bat-
tery avoid all contact with the machine. If contact with the
liquid occurs, seek medical advise.
 If the battery becomes defective, liquid can escape and
come into contact with adjacent components. Check any
parts concerned and contact the Bosch Service Centre.
 Do not open the machine and battery inside. Danger of
short-circuiting and electric shock.
 Protect the machine against fire. Danger of battery ex-
plosion.
 In case of damage and improper use of the machine, va-
pours may be emitted from the battery. Provide for
fresh air and seek medical help in case of complaints.
The vapours can irritate the respiratory system.
Store the machine only within a temperature range between
5 °C and 45 °C. As an example, do not leave the machine in
the car in summer.
Safety Warnings for Docking Station and Power
Supply
 Only charge via the official Bosch docking station. Oth-
erwise there is danger of fire and explosion.
 Check the docking station, power supply, cables and
plugs periodically. If damage is detected, do not use
the docking station or power supply. Never open the
docking station or power supply. Have repairs per-
formed only by a qualified Bosch technician and only
using original spare parts. A damaged docking station,
power supply, cable or plug increases the risk of an electric
shock.
 Do not operate the docking station and power supply
on easily flammable surfaces (e. g., paper, textiles,
etc.) or surroundings. The heating of the docking station
and power supply during the charging process can pose a
fire hazard.
 Supervise children at all times. This will ensure that chil-
dren do not play with the docking station, power supply or
the machine.
 Children or persons that owing to their physical, senso-
ry or mental limitations or to their lack of experience or
knowledge, are not capable of safely operating the
docking station or power supply, may only use this
docking station and power supply under supervision or
after having been instructed by a responsible person.
Otherwise, there is danger of operating errors and injuries.
 The voltage indicated on the power supply must corre-
spond to the voltage of the power source.
The power supply should ideally be connected into a socket
that is protected by a circuit-breaker that is actuated by a
30 mA residual current. Check your Residual Current Device
(RCD) at regular intervals.
The supply cord must be inspected for signs of damage at reg-
ular intervals and may only be used if in perfect condition.
