Full details

The Bosch UniversalGrassCut 18V-26-500 is a cordless grass trimmer designed for homeowners with small to medium-sized gardens who need a flexible and comfortable tool for maintaining their lawn edges and tackling overgrown areas. Its key benefit is its ergonomic design and versatile features, including a tilting head and simple edging function, making garden tidying quicker and more comfortable.

Troubleshooting

Trimmer will not start.

Ensure the battery is fully charged and correctly inserted. Check that the safety lock-off is disengaged and the trigger is pressed fully.

Trimming line not feeding properly.

Check if the spool is correctly installed and has sufficient line. Refer to the manual for re-threading instructions if necessary. Ensure the semi-automatic function is not obstructed.

Reduced cutting performance.

The trimming line may be worn down or broken. Allow the semi-automatic spool to feed more line. Ensure there are no blockages around the cutting head.

Battery not charging.

Ensure the charger is plugged into a working power outlet and the battery is correctly seated on the charger. If the issue persists, try a different outlet or contact customer support.
