General Power Tool SafetyWarnings

WARNING

Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow

the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

1) Work area safety

a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2) Electrical safety

a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges and moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

3) Personal safety

a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

4) Power tool use and care

a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.

Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool's operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

5) Battery tool use and care

a) Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
b) Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.

c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.

6) Service

a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

Hedge trimmer safety warnings

  • Keep all parts of the body away from the cutter blade. Do not remove cut material nor hold material to be cut when blades are moving. Make sure the switch is off when clearing jammed material. A moment of inattention while operating the hedge trimmer may result in serious personal injury.
  • Carry the hedge trimmer by the handle with the cutter blade stopped. When transporting or storing the hedge trimmer always fit the cutting device cover. Proper handling of the hedge trimmer will reduce possible personal injury from the cutter blades.
    Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, because the cutter blade may contact hidden wiring. Cutting blades contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
  • Keep cable away from cutting area. During operation the cable may be hidden in shrubs and can be accidentally cut by the blade.

SafetyWarnings for Shrub/Grass Shears

  • This tool is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
  • Never allow children or people unfamiliar with these instructions to use the machine. Local regulations may restrict the age of the operator. When not in use store the machine out of reach of children.
    The operator or user is responsible for accidents or hazards occurring to other people or their property.
  • Never operate the machine while people, especially children or pets, are nearby.
  • Keep supply flexible cord away from cutting means.
  • Wear eye protection and stout shoes at all times while operating the machine.
    Avoid trimming in bad weather conditions especially when there is a risk of lightening.
  • Use the machine only in daylight or good artificial light.

Assembly

For Your Safety

Warning! Switch off before adjusting or cleaning. The blades continue to move for a few seconds after the garden product is switched off.

Caution! Do not touch the moving blades.

Battery Charging (see figure A)

  • Do not use other battery chargers. The supplied battery charger is designed for the Lithium-lon battery in your garden product.
  • Observe the mains voltage! The voltage of the power supply must correspond with the data given on the nameplate of the battery charger. Battery chargers marked with 230V can also be operated with 220V .
    The voltage range of the charger is 100-240 V. Ensure that the plug matches the outlet.

Note: The battery is supplied partially charged. To ensure full capacity of the battery, completely charge the battery in the battery charger before using your power tool for the first time.

The lithium ion battery can be charged at any time without reducing its service life. Interrupting the charging procedure does not damage the battery.

The "Electronic Cell Protection (ECP)" protects the lithium ion battery against deep discharging. When the battery is run down or discharged, the garden product is shut off by means of a protective circuit: The blade no longer moves.

WARNING Do not continue to press the On/Off switch after the garden

product has been automatically switched off.

The battery can be damaged.

Plug the mains plug of the battery charger into a socket outlet and the charger plug 14 into the socket 13 on the rear side of the handle, in one way only.

The charging procedure starts as soon as the charger plug 14 of the battery charger is inserted into the socket 13.

The battery charge-control indicator 2 indicates the charging progress. During the charging process, the indicator flashes green. When the battery charge-control indicator 2 lights up green continuously, the battery is fully charged.

During the charging procedure, the handle of the garden product warms up. This is normal.

Disconnect the battery charger from the mains supply when not using it for longer periods.

The garden product cannot be used during the charge procedure; it is not defective when inoperative during the charging procedure.

Protect the battery charger against moisture!

Working Advice

Hold the garden product away from yourself. Stand in a secure and stable position.
For more tips on cutting please refer to website www.bosch-garden.com.

Anti Blocking

The garden product has a patented feature which works as follows:

If the blade stalls on a tough material, the load of the motor increases. The intelligent microelectronics senses this overload condition and repeatedly reverses the motor, in order to prevent stalling and to cut the material through.

This audible reversing cut action continues for up to 3 s.

After cutting through, the garden product continues in its normal mode, or in case the overload condition continues the blades automatically stop in the open position (e. g. in case a piece of metal fence accidentally blocks the garden product).

Cutting Hedges (shrub shear only)

Before cutting check the hedge for foreign objects e. g. wire fences.

Cut stems up to 8 mm in thickness. When cutting, move steadily along the line of cut, so that stems are fed directly into the cutter blades. The double edge of the cutting blade enables cutting to either direction, or with a side to side motion.

After use replace the blade transport guard.

  • Cut hedges with deciduous leaves in June and October.
  • Cut evergreen hedges in April and August.
  • Cut conifer and other fast growing shrubs approx. every six weeks from May onwards.

Edging (grass shear only) (see figure D)

Guide the garden product along the edge of the lawn. Do not allow the blade to contact paved surfaces, stones or garden walls, since this will wear the blade rapidly.

For larger lawn it is advisable to use the pole cart (available as an accessory or supplier with "grass shear & pole cart" set).

After use replace the blade transport guard.
