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. Explanation of symbols Read instruction manual. Do not use the machine in the rain or leave it outdoors when it is raining. Remove battery before adjusting or cleaning, and before leaving the machine unattended for any period.

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. Bosch Power Tools 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. F 016 L70 590 | (30.6.09) OBJ_BUCH-948-003.book Page 20 Tuesday, June 30, 2009 2:04 PM 20 | English 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. F 016 L70 590 | (30.6.09) 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. Bosch Power Tools OBJ_BUCH-948-003.book Page 21 Tuesday, June 30, 2009 2:04 PM English | 21 Hedge trimmer safety warnings f 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. f 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. f 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. Additional safety warnings f 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. f When working with the machine, always hold it firmly with both hands and provide for a secure stance. The power tool is guided more secure with both hands. f Always ensure all handles and guards are fitted when using the machine. Never attempt to use an incomplete machine or one fitted with an unauthorized modification. f Wait until the machine has come to a standstill before placing it down. f Do not open the battery. Danger of shortcircuiting. f In case of damage and improper use of the battery, vapours may be emitted. Provide for fresh air and seek medical help in case of complaints. The vapours can irritate the respiratory system. f When the battery is defective, liquid can escape and come into contact with adjacent components. Check any parts concerned. Clean such parts or replace them, if required. f Use the battery only in conjunction with your Bosch power tool. This measure alone protects the battery against dangerous overload.

Removing the Battery (see figure A) The battery 8 is equipped with two locking levels that should prevent the battery from falling out when pushing the battery unlocking button 7 unintentionally. As long as the battery is inserted in the garden product, it is held in position by means of a spring. Note: The garden product will not operate unless both locking levels are engaged. To remove the battery 8: noPush the battery against the base of the garden product and at the same time press the battery unlocking button 7. p Pull the battery out of the garden product until a red stripe becomes visible. q Press the battery unlocking button 7 again and pull out the battery completely. F 016 L70 590 | (30.6.09) Battery Charging (see figure A) f Do not use other battery chargers. The supplied battery charger is designed for the Lithium-Ion battery in your garden product. f 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 230 V can also be operated with 220 V. The battery is equipped with temperature monitoring that allows charging only in the temperature range between 0 °C and 45 °C. In this manner, a high battery service life is achieved. 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. Do not continue to press the On/Off switch after the garden product has been automatically switched off. The battery can be damaged. WARNING Charging Procedure The charging procedure starts as soon as the mains plug of the battery charger is plugged into the socket outlet and the battery 8 is inserted into the charging compartment 9. Due to the intelligent charging method, the charging condition of the battery is automatically detected and the battery is charged with the optimum charging current, depending on battery temperature and voltage. This gives longer life to the battery and always leaves it fully charged when kept in the charger for storage. Bosch Power Tools OBJ_BUCH-948-003.book Page 25 Tuesday, June 30, 2009 2:04 PM English | 25 Meaning of the Indication Elements No charging procedure possible Control of the charging procedure is indicated via the charge control LEDs 11 and 12: If a different malfunction of the charging procedure is present, this will be indicated through flashing of the red charge control LED 11. Rapid-charging Procedure The rapid-charging procedure is indicated by flashing of the green charge control LED 12. During the charging procedure, the three green LEDs light up one after the other and briefly go out. The battery is fully charged when the three green LEDs light up continuously. The three LEDs go out again approx. 5 minutes after the battery has been fully charged. Note: The rapid-charging procedure is only possible when the battery temperature is within the allowable charging temperature range, see section “Technical Data”. Battery Charged Continuous lighting of the green charge control LED 12 signals that the battery is fully charged. Additionally, a signal tone sounds for approx. 2 seconds, which acoustically indicates that the battery is fully charged. Afterwards, the battery can be removed for immediate use. With no battery inserted, continuous lighting of the green charge control LED 12 indicates that the mains plug is plugged into the socket and that the battery charger is ready for operation. Battery Temperature below 0 °C and above 45 °C Continuous lighting of the red LED 11 indicates that the battery temperature is not within the rapid-charging temperature range of 0 °C – 45 °C. As soon as the allowable temperature range is reached, the battery charger automatically switches to rapid charging. When the battery is not within the allowable temperature range, the red battery LED lights up when inserting the battery into the battery charger. Bosch Power Tools The charging procedure can not be started and the battery cannot be charged (see “Troubleshooting”). Charging Advice With continuous or several repetitive charging cycles without interruption, the charger can warm up. This is not meaningful and does not indicate a technical defect of the battery charger. A significantly reduced working period after charging indicates that the battery is used and must be replaced. Battery Cooling (Active Air Cooling) The fan control integrated in the battery charger controls the temperature of the inserted battery. When the battery temperature is above 30 °C, a fan cools down the battery to the optimal charging temperature. The switched-on fan produces a fan noise. The battery temperature is within the optimal charging temperature range when the fan is not running, or the fan may possibly be defective. In this case, the charging time of the battery extends. Operation Initial Operation Inserting the Battery (see figure A) Insert the charged battery 8 from the rear into the handle of the garden product. Push the battery completely into the handle until the red stripe can no longer be seen and the battery is securely locked. Note: The garden product will not operate unless both locking levels are engaged. F 016 L70 590 | (30.6.09) OBJ_BUCH-948-003.book Page 26 Tuesday, June 30, 2009 2:04 PM 26 | English Switching On (see figure B) Anti Blocking n Press and hold the On/Off switch 6 on the rear handle. 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). o Then press the front On/Off switch 4. Switching Off Release the front 4 or rear 6 On/Off switch. Working Advice (see figures C–E) f Warning: Hold the hedgecutter away from yourself using both hands. Stand in a secure and stable position. Cuts stems up to 20 mm in thickness (max.), up to 25 mm in thickness (max.) at the tip end of the blade. When cutting, move steadily along the line of cut, so that stems are fed directly into the cutter blades. The double edge cutting blade enables cutting in either direction, or with a side to side motion. Sawing Function (see figure F) Although the blade gap allow wood to be cut upto Ø 20 mm, the tip of the blade is designed to cut wood up to Ø 25 mm. Cut the sides of the hedge first, then the top. Battery Charge-control Indication 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. The battery 8 is equipped with a charge-control indicator 16 which indicates its charge condition. The charge-control indicator 16 consists of 3 green LEDs. 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. In order to encourage strong, healthy growth of your hedge, it is recommended when trimming the top, to use the Collecto “clippings-collection” device (accessory). This accessory conveniently gathers the clippings as you cut, allowing them to be easily tipped into a bag or sheet placed alongside the hedge, and thus preventing cut clippings from falling into the hedge. Always take care to avoid cutting into objects such as wire, which could cause damage to the cutting blades and the drive. Press the button 15 to actuate the charge-control indicator 16. After approx. 5 seconds, the charge-control indicator goes out automatically. The charge condition can also be checked when the battery is removed. LED Indicators Battery Capacity Continuous lighting of 3 green LEDs ≥ 2/3 Continuous lighting of 2 green LEDs ≥ 1/3 Continuous lighting of 1 green LED ≤ 1/3 Flashing of 1 green LED Reserve When no LED lights up after actuating the button 15, the battery is defective and must be replaced. For safety reasons, the charge condition of the battery can only be checked when the garden product is at a standstill. F 016 L70 590 | (30.6.09) Bosch Power Tools OBJ_BUCH-948-003.book Page 27 Tuesday, June 30, 2009 2:04 PM English | 27 During the charging procedure, the three green LEDs light up one after the other and briefly go out. The battery is fully charged when the three green LEDs light up continuously. The three LEDs go out again approx. 5 minutes after the battery has been fully charged. Temperature Control of the Battery Temperature Control Indicator The battery switches off at a temperature above 70 °C until the optimum temperature range is reached again. The red LED 17 signals that the battery or the electronics of the garden product (with battery inserted) are not within the optimum temperature range. When this occurs the garden product will not operate or not at full capacity. The red LED 17 flashes when pushing button 15 or pressing the On/Off switch 6 (when the battery is inserted): The battery is not wihin the temperature range for operation of –10 °C to +60 °C. Temperature Control of the Garden Product Electronics The red LED 17 lights up continuously when pressing the On/Off switch 6: The temperature of the garden product electronics is below 5 °C or above 75 °C. At a temperature above 90 °C, the electronics of the garden product switch off until the temperature is within the allowable temperature range again.
