Product Information

Full details

The Bosch UniversalGrassCut 18V-26-500 is a cordless string trimmer designed for users with small to medium-sized gardens who need a flexible and comfortable tool for tidying up lawn edges, trimming grass, and tackling weeds. Its key benefit lies in its ergonomic design, adjustable features, and the convenience of the POWER FOR ALL battery system. A notable caveat is that the battery and charger are not included, requiring a separate purchase or existing compatible Bosch 18V Power for All batteries.

FAQs

Does the Bosch UniversalGrassCut 18V-26-500 come with a battery and charger?

What is the cutting diameter of this trimmer?

How do I switch between trimming and edging modes?

Can I use batteries from other Bosch tool ranges?

This trimmer uses the 18V POWER FOR ALL battery system. You can use any Bosch 18V POWER FOR ALL battery. Batteries from other voltage classes (e.g., 12V) or other Bosch systems (e.g., professional tools) are not compatible.

What is the recommended battery capacity for optimal performance?

While it works with any 18V POWER FOR ALL battery, a 2.5 Ah battery is typically recommended for good balance between runtime and weight, allowing for tasks like trimming the edges of up to six tennis courts.

How long is the nylon line supplied with the trimmer?

The trimmer comes supplied with 4 meters of 1.6 mm diameter nylon line.

What is the weight of the trimmer?

The Bosch UniversalGrassCut 18V-26-500 weighs approximately 2.4 kg (without battery).

Troubleshooting

Trimmer does not turn on.

Ensure the battery is fully charged and correctly inserted into the trimmer. Check if the safety lock-off is engaged.

Nylon line is not feeding correctly.

Check if the line is tangled or broken. Ensure the spool is correctly seated and re-feed the line according to the manual's instructions. You may need to replace the spool if it is damaged.

Reduced cutting performance.

Check for any debris or blockages around the cutting head. Ensure the nylon line is of the correct diameter (1.6 mm) and sufficiently long. The battery may also need recharging.

Trimmer head is stuck at an angle.

Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the head from moving. Check the mechanism for any debris and try to adjust it again.
