Always be aware of your surroundings and stay alert for
u
possible hazards that you may not hear whilst operating
the hedge trimmer.
Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to ensure that the
u
hedge trimmer is always in a safe working condition.
The hedge trimmer should be stored in a dry, high or
u
locked up place out of the reach of children.
Replace worn or damaged parts for safety.
u
Do not attempt to repair the machine unless you are quali-
u
fied to do so.
Ensure replacement parts fitted are Bosch-approved.
u
To safeguard against contact with the moving cutter
u
blade, this hedge trimmer is constructed with two
handles each with a blade control (switch). To operate
the hedge trimmer, both controls must be actuated simul-
taneously. Do not use the tool, if it runs without a
switch being actuated or just one switch being actu-
ated.
Recommendations for Optimal Handling of the
Battery Pack
Do not open the battery. There is a risk of short-circuit-
u
ing.
Protect the battery against heat (e.g.,
against continuous intense sunlight), fire,
water, and moisture. There is a risk of explo-
sion.
In case of damage and improper use of the battery
u
pack, vapours may be emitted. Ventilate the area and
seek medical help in case of complaints. The vapours can
irritate the respiratory system.
Only use the battery with products from the manufac-
u
turer. This is the only way in which you can protect the
battery against dangerous overload.
The battery can be damaged by pointed objects such
u
as nails or screwdrivers or by force applied externally.
An internal short circuit may occur, causing the battery to
burn, smoke, explode or overheat.
Do not short-circuit the battery. There is a risk of explo-
u
sion.
Occasionally clean the venting slots of the battery using a
u
soft, clean and dry brush.
Charge the machine only with the supplied battery
u
charger.
