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.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be re-
placed by a Bosch Service Centre.
When using cable drums, these must be com-
pletely unreeled.
Products sold in GB only: Your product is fit-
ted 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 out-
lets, it should be cut off and an appropriate
plug fitted in its place by an authorised cus-
tomer service agent. The replacement plug
should have the same fuse rating as the origi-
nal plug.
The severed plug must be disposed of to
avoid a possible shock hazard and should nev-
er be inserted into a mains socket elsewhere.
Assembly
Remove the machine from the package
(see figures A–D).
Assemble the chute (see figures E–F)
Lift back blade cover plate 13.
Hook in chute assembly 8 to the garden
product, and then release the blade cov-
er plate 13.

quired.

Operation

Starting Operation (see figure G)
Always place the machine on firm level
ground. During operation, do not tilt or
move.
The motor will coast after switching off!
Remove earth from roots. Foreign material
such as stones, glass, metals, fabrics or plas-
tics must not enter the chute assembly 8. Oth-
erwise this could damage the cutting roller
16.
The chute assembly 8 must be empty.
Starting
Press green button 4.
Stopping
Press red "stop" button 5.
Restarting Protection
A mains failure causes machine to switch off.
The machine cannot restart on its own when
the power returns.
Return Motion
Press and hold the yellow button 6 to reverse
the feed.
The cutting roller 16 runs backward and frees
jammed material.

Overload Protection
Overloading (e. g. blocking of the cutting roll-
er 16) causes the machine to stop after a few
seconds. Press and hold the yellow button 6
to reverse the cutter to unblock. If the block-
age cannot be cleared the pressure plate 15
will need to moved away from the cutter.
The adjustment knob 10 will need to be
turned a anti clock wise direction a small
amount until the "jammed" material is clear.
The pressure plate 15 will need adjustment
(see "Pressure Plate Adjustment
(see figure H)").

Working Advice

Wear eye protection, hearing protection
and safety gloves at all times while oper-
ating the machine.
Always check before use that the collec-
tion box and chute assembly are fitted
correctly.
The machine is fitted with sensors, unless the
collection box 11 is fitted correctly and the
chute assembly 8 is correctly positioned, the
machine will not start and the buzzer beeps
(on AXT 23 TC/25 TC also the 2 LEDs 14
flash).
Insert the material to be shredded. The mate-
rial will be fed by the cutter roller 16 without
further assistance.
Longer material standing out from the
machine could lash out when being pulled
in by the knives! Please keep at safe dis-
tance!
– Only insert as much material so that the
chute assembly 8 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 cutting roller 16 from
clogging.
– Do not fill soft waste such as kitchen rub-
bish into the shredder but compost direct-
ly.
– Take care that the shredded material can
fall freely from the discharge chute – dan-
ger of backing up!
– The ventilation slots 3 must not be covered
by the shredded material.
– Avoid blocking the discharge chute with
shredded material as this could result in
kickback of material through the chute as-
sembly 8 opening.
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.
Pressure Plate Adjustment
(see figure H)
The pressure plate 15 is factory adjusted and
may not require adjustment before the first
use.
