Electrical Safety

warning iconWarning: Switch off, remove plug from mains before adjusting, cleaning or if cable is cut, damaged or entangled. Your machine is double insulated for safety and requires no earth connection. The operating voltage is 230 V AC, 50 Hz (for non-EU countries 220 V, 240 V 50 Hz) Contact your Bosch Service Centre for details. If in doubt contact a qualified electrician or the nearest Bosch Service Centre. For increased electrical safety use a Residual Current Device (RCD) with a tripping current of not more than 30 mA. Always check your RCD every time you use it. Keep the supply cables away from moving hazardous parts and avoid damage to the cables; this can lead to contact with live parts. The connections (plugs and sockets) should be kept dry and off the ground. The supply cables must be inspected for signs of damage at regular intervals and may only be used if in perfect condition. If the supply cable on the product is damaged, it must only be replaced by a Bosch Service Centre. Only use approved extension cables. Use only extension cords, cables, leads, cable reels that comply with EN 61242/IEC 61242 or IEC 60884-2-7. If you want to use an extension cable when operating your product, only the following cable dimensions should be used: -Nominal conductor area of 1.25 mm2 or 1.5 mm2 -Maximum length 30 m for a Cord Extension Set or maximum length of 60 m for a Cable Reel with Residual Current Device (RCD). Note: If an extension cable is used it must be earthed and connected through the plug to the earth cable of your supply network in accordance with prescribed safety regulations. warning iconWARNING! Inadequate extension cables can be dangerous. Extension cable, plug and socket must be of watertight construction and intended for outdoor use. Products sold in GB only: Your product is fitted with an BS 1363/A approved electric plug with internal fuse (ASTA approved to BS 1362). If the plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place by an authorised customer service agent. The replacement plug should have the same fuse rating as the original plug. The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a possible shock hazard and should never be inserted into a mains socket elsewhere.

That the declared vibration total value(s) and the declared noise emission value(s) have been measured in accordance with a standard test method any may be used for comparing one tool to another. That the declared vibration total value(s) and the declared noise emission value(s) may also be used in a preliminary assessment of exposure. That the vibration and noise emissions during actual use of the power tool can differ from the declared values depending on the ways in which the tool is used especially what kind of workpiece is processed; and of the need to identify safety measures to protect the operator that are based on an estimation of the exposure measures in the actual conditions of use (taking account of all parts of the operating cycle such as the times when the tool is switched off and when it is running idle in addition to the trigger time). Noise emission values determined according to EN 62841-4-2:2019. Typically the A-weighted noise levels of the product are: Sound pressure level 75 dB(A); sound power level 95 dB(A). Uncertainty K = 2.0 dB. Wear hearing protection! Vibration total values ah (triax vector sum) and uncertainty K determined according to EN 62841-4-2:2019: ah = 2.5 m/s2, K = 1.5 m/s2.

Operation

Switching ON/OFF (see figures C and D) To switch ON, firstly press and hold the lock-off button for On/Off switch (3). Then press the On/Off switch (2) and keep it pressed. To switch OFF, release the lock-off button for On/Off switch (3) and then release the On/Off switch (2).

Sawing Function

Although the tooth opening allows wood to be cut up to Ø 20 mm, the tip of the blade is designed to cut wood up to Ø 25 mm.

Working with the Hedgecutter (see figure E)

Move the hedgecutter evenly forward along the cutting line. The double edge cutting blade enables cutting in either direction, or with a side to side motion. Cut the sides of the hedge first, then the top. To cut the sides straightly, we recommend cutting from bottom to top in the direction of growth. Younger stems tend to move outwards when cutting them from top to bottom, resulting in shallow patches or holes in the hedge. To reach a level finish, fasten a piece of string along the length of the hedge at the required height and use as an alignment guide. Cut the hedge just above the string. Pay attention that no objects such as wires are cut. The blade or drive can be damaged.
