Operation

• During operation, do not reach into the chute assembly. The machine runs on for a few seconds after being switched off.
• 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.
• This machine 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 machine by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the machine.
• 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 run over, crush or pull the power supply cable or extension lead, otherwise it may be damaged. Protect the cable from heat, oil and sharp edges.
• 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 original accessories are used.
• Become familiar with the instruction manual before attempting to operate this machine.
• Avoid wearing loose-fitting clothing, hanging cords or ties.
• Only operate the machine in open space (e. g. 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 labels.
• Before starting the machine, make certain that the chute assembly is empty.
• Keep your face and body away from the chute assembly.
• Do not allow hands or any other part of the body or clothing inside the chute assembly, discharge chute or near any moving part.
• 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 material.
• Always stand clear of the discharge zone when operating the machine.
• 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 chute assembly.
• If the machine becomes clogged, switch off and allow the cutter to stop. Remove the plug from the mains supply before clearing debris.
• Check if guards and protective devices are undamaged and properly mounted. Before using, carry out any necessary maintenance and repairs.
• 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.
• Never pick up or carry 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 inspections, adjustments, etc.
• Maintain the machine with care and keep it clean.
• Examine the machine and replace worn or damaged parts for safety.
• Ensure replacement parts fitted 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.

Electrical Safety

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).
Only use approved extension cables. Contact your Bosch Service Centre for details.

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.

For products not sold in GB:

For your safety, it is required that the plug attached to the machine is connected with the extension cord. The coupling of the extension cord must be protected against splash water, be made of rubber or coated with rubber. The extension cord must be used with a cable strain relief.

The connection lead must be inspected for signs of damage at regular intervals and may only be used if in perfect condition.

If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a Bosch Service Centre. Extension cords/leads should only be used if they comply with H05VV-F or H05RN-F types.

Products sold in GB only: Your product is fitted with a 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.

Products sold in AUS and NZ only: Use a residual current device (RCD) with a rated residual current of 30 mA or less.

Mounting and Operation

Working Advice

Starting

To start your Shredder, rotate the On/Off switch from position "0" to position "II". Allow machine to start and release switch, which will return to position "I" (the normal run position).

Note: The machine will not start if the On/Off switch is pushed in slightly, whilst being rotated.

As a safety feature the machine will not start unless the hopper securing knob is fully tightened.

Restarting Protection

A mains failure causes machine to switch off. The machine cannot restart on its own when the power returns.

Overload Protection

Overloading (e. g. blocking up of the cutter) can lead to a standstill of the machine after a few seconds. After a short period, the machine can be switched on again. If the machine blocks again turn it off.
Remove blockage and restart.

Advice on Shredding

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.

Blade Maintenance

• Stop and remove plug from the power supply.

The blade has a double sided cutting edge.

When the cutting edges become blunt, the blade can be turned over. The blade bolt may only be reused once, do not reuse or use a non approved blade bolt. When both sides are blunt replace the blade.
When fitting a new blade, discard old bolt and only use a Bosch approved bolt, supplied.

Troubleshooting

The following chart lists problem symptoms, possible causes and corrective action, if your garden product does not operate properly. If these do not identify and correct the problem, contact your service agent.

Switch off, remove plug from mains before adjusting, cleaning or if cable is cut, damaged or entangled.
