Danger – rotating blades, keep hands and feet out of open- ings while the machine is running. Before handling the cutter, switch off and remove the plug from the mains supply. If the cable is damaged or cut through while working, do not touch the cable but immedi- ately remove the plug from the mains supply. Never use the machine with a damaged cable. Do not operate this equipment in the vicinity of bystanders. Keep bystanders a safe distance away from the machine. Wait until all machine components have completely stopped before touching them. Wear protective gloves, sturdy shoes and long trousers. Obtain and wear eye protection at all times while operating the machine. During operation, do not reach into the feed intake 1 or the dis- charge chute 8. The machine runs on for a few seconds after be- ing switched off. Before switching on, the machine must be assembled according to the enclosed instructions. It is recommended for increased electrical safety to 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. Use only extension cables that are intended for outdoor use and are protected against splashes of water. Do not touch the plug or socket with wet hands. Do not drive over, crush or stretch the cable. Do not allow children to operate this equipment. Other persons and animals should remain at a distance of 3 metres or more when the machine is being used. The operator is responsible for third persons in the working area. Bosch can assure flawless functioning of the machine only when orig- inal accessories are used. Become familiar with the owner’s manual before attempting to operate this machine. Avoid wearing loose-fitting clothing, hanging cords or ties. Only operate the machine in open space (eg not too close to a wall or other fixed objects) and on a firm, level surface. Do not operate the machine on paved or gravel surface where ejected material could cause injury. Before starting the machine, check that all screws, nuts, bolts and other fasteners are properly secured and that guards and screens are in place. Replace damaged or unreadable warning and operating la- bels. Before starting the machine, make certain that the feed intake is empty. Keep your face and body away from the feed intake. Do not allow hands or any other part of the body or clothing inside the feed intake, discharge chute or near any moving part. Switch off the machine before attaching or removing the bag. Keep proper balance and footing at all times. Do not overreach. Never stand at a higher level than the base of the machine when feeding ma- terial. Always stand clear of the discharge zone when operating the ma- chine. When feeding material into the machine be extremely careful that pieces of metal, rocks, bottles, cans or other foreign objects are not included. If the cutting mechanism strikes any foreign object or if the machine should start making any unusual noise or vibration, immediately switch off and allow the cutter to stop. Remove the plug from the mains supply and take the following steps: – Inspect for damage. – Replace or repair any damaged parts. – Check for and tighten any loose parts. Do not attempt to repair the machine unless you are qualified to do so. Do not allow processed material to build up in the discharge zone; this may prevent proper discharge which can result in kickback of material through the feed intake. If the machine becomes clogged, switch off and allow the cutter to stop. Remove the plug from the mains supply before clearing debris. Keep all guards and deflectors in place and in good working condition. Do not tamper with the motor speed control settings. Contact a Bosch approved service agent if a problem exists. Keep the motor cooling vents clean of debris and other accumulations to prevent damage to the motor or possible fire. Do not transport the machine while the motor is running. Switch off, allow the cutter to stop and remove the plug from the mains supply whenever you leave the work area. Do not tilt the machine while it is running. Do not expose the machine to rain. Only store the machine in a dry place. Maintenance and storage – When the machine is stopped for servicing, inspection, or storage, or to change an accessory, switch off and remove the plug from the mains supply and allow the machine to cool. Make sure that all moving parts have come to a complete stop before making any in- spections, adjustments, etc. – Maintain the machine with care and keep it clean. – Replace worn or damaged parts for safety. Ensure all replacement parts are Bosch Approved. – If an extension cord is used it shall not be of lighter grade than the supply cord already fitted to the machine. – Check the supply and any extension cord regularly for damage or signs of ageing. Do not use the machine, if the cords are damaged. – When servicing the cutter be aware that, even though the motor will not start due to the interlock feature of the guard, the cutter can still be moved if the motor is turned by hand. – Never attempt to override the interlock feature of the guard.

The product is intended for cutting of fibrous and woody garden waste for composting. Remove the machine from the package (see figure ). Mount the wheels and the undercarriage (see figure ). Always use the correct supply voltage! The volt- age of the power source must agree with the value given on the nameplate of the machine. Machines designated for 230 V can also be operated with 220 V. The circuit must be protected by fuse with at least 10 A. When operating the machine with a generator, a unit with a power rating of 3.5 kVA/2800 W is necessary. (e. g. Bosch generator units G-3600-series). An extension cable with a cross section that is too small causes a distinct reduction in the performance capabilities of the machine. For cables to 25 m in length, a cross section of at least 3 x 1,5 mm

is re- quired, for cables more than 25 m in length, the cross section must be at least 2,5 mm

Always completely unwind cable reels.

Always place the machine on firm level ground. During operation, do not tilt or move. Remove any soil from root balls. Foreign bodies like stones, glass, metals, fabrics, or plastics must not enter the feed intake since this could damage the spiral cutting knives.

The feed intake 1 must be empty. Starting: Set the on/off switch 2 to “I”. Stopping: Set the on/off switch 2 to “O”. The motor will coast after switching off! Rotational direction switch The rotational direction switch 3 can only be oper- ated when the machine is switched off. Always wait for the machine to stop before switching it on again. Right position (): The spiral cutting knives pull in the material and shreds it. Left position (): The spiral cutting knives are operating in reverse di- rection and jammed material is released. Longer material standing out from the ma- chine could lash out when being pulled in by the knives! Please keep at safe distance! Overload Protection Overloading (e. g. blocking up of the spiral cutting knives) causes the machine to stop after a few sec- onds. After a short period, the machine can be switched on again. If the machine blocks turn off. Set the On/Off switch 2 to “O”, then wait a few seconds and turn it back to “I”. If the blockage does not clear, turn the rotational di- rection switch 3 to the left position ( ) and switch the machine on to release the blockage. If the block- age does not clear, repeat. After the blockage has released, turn the On/Off switch 2 to “O” and the rotational direction switch 3 to the right position ( ) before switching the ma- chine on again. Restart Protection After a mains failure the machine cannot restart on it own when the power returns. Always wear eye protection and wear gloves during use. In order to collect the shredded material, fasten the carrying straps of the collecting bag 7 (accessory) to the two hooks 9. Feed the material to be shredded. The material is pulled in by the spiral cutting knives. Longer material standing out from the ma- chine could lash out when being pulled in by the knives! Please keep at safe distance! Only insert as much material so that the feed in- take 1 will not be blocked up. Shred withered, moist material and garden waste which has been stored for some days alternately with branches. This prevents the cutter from clog- ging and helps to mix the material for composting. Do not fill soft waste such as kitchen rubbish into the shredder but compost directly. Always feed the material to be shredded from the corner of the feed intake 1 marked with the arrow. Take care that the shredded material can fall freely from the discharge chute 8 – danger of backing up! The ventilation slots 5 must not be covered by the collecting bag or the shredded material. Branches become harder to shred depending on the type, age and dryness of the wood. For best results, shred fresh branches soon after they have been cut. Soft garden waste should be shredded in smaller loads, particularly when wet. Any blockages can be avoided by intermittently shredding branches. Starting and Stopping

Switch off and wait for a few seconds. Turn the rotational direction switch 3 to the left position (backwards) and switch the machine back on after a short period. After the blocking has been removed, turn the rotational direction switch 3 back to the right position. ■ Check the power supply cord, the plug and the house fuse. The material to be chopped is not pulled in: ■ The spiral cutting knives are running backwards: Switch off and change direction of rotation. ■ The material to be shredded is jammed in the feed intake 1: Turn the rotational direction switch 3 to the left position (backwards) and switch the machine back on. Remove the mate- rial from the feed intake. After the blocking has been removed turn the rotational direction switch 3 back to the right position. ■ Re-feed thick branches such that the knives do not immediately grasp the pre-cut notches again. The spiral cutting knives are blocked: ■ Turn the rotational direction switch 3 to the left position and switch the machine on. The spiral cutting knives will now run backwards to release the blocked up material (or the foreign body). Af- ter the blocking has been removed turn the rota- tional direction switch 3 back to the right position. Longer material standing out from the ma- chine could lash out when being pulled in by the knives! Please keep at safe dis- tance! Direction of rotation remains unchanged after switch-over: ■ Change the direction of rotation to the desired po- sition after the machine has come to a complete standstill. ■ Stop and remove plug from the power supply.

For safe and proper working, always keep the machine and the ventilation slots clean. The shredder must not be cleaned with high-pres- sure cleaners or running water. The tightness of the fastening screws of the under- carriage should be checked from time to time. To protect the machine from corrosion when storing for a longer period, treat the spiral cutting knives with Bosch preservation spray (accessory, order no. 1 609 200 399). This spray is harmless to the environment and decomposable. If the machine should fail despite the rigorous man- ufacturing and testing procedures, repair should be carried out by an authorised customer service centre for Bosch power tools. For all correspondence and spare parts orders, al- ways include the 10-digit part number (typ) from the nameplate of the machine! Environmental label “Blue Angel”. Awarded for extra quiet operation.
