 Never operate the hedgecutter with defective guards or
without the guard in place.
 Always ensure all handles and guards supplied are fitted
when using the hedgecutter. Never attempt to use an in-
complete hedgecutter or one with an unauthorised modifi-
cation.
 Never hold the hedgecutter by the guard.
 While operating the hedgecutter always be sure of a safe
and secure operating position at all times, especially when
using steps or a ladder.
 Always be aware of your surroundings and stay alert for
possible hazards that you may not hear whilst operating
the hedgecutter.
 Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to ensure that the
hedgecutter is always in a safe working condition.
 The hedgecutter should be stored in a dry, high or locked
up place out of the reach of children.
 Replace worn or damaged parts for safety.
 Do not attempt to repair the machine unless you are quali-
fied to do so.
 Ensure replacement parts fitted are Bosch approved.
Safety Warnings for Batteries
 Do not open the battery. Danger of short-circuiting.
Protect the battery against heat, e. g., against
continuous intense sunlight, fire, water, and
moisture. Danger of explosion.
 Do not short-circuit the battery. There is danger of explo-
sion.
 In case of damage and improper use of the battery, va-
pours may be emitted. Ventilate the area and seek
medical help in case of complaints. The vapours can irri-
tate the respiratory system.
 If the battery becomes defective, liquid can escape and
come into contact with adjacent components. Check
any parts concerned. Clean such parts or replace them, if
required.
 Use the battery only in conjunction with your Bosch
power tool. This measure alone protects the battery
against dangerous overload.
 Use only original Bosch batteries with the voltage list-
ed on the nameplate of your power tool. When using oth-
er batteries, e.g. imitations, reconditioned batteries or
other brands, there is danger of injury as well as property
damage through exploding batteries.

Safety Warnings for Battery Chargers

Keep the battery charger away from rain or
moisture. Penetration of water in the battery
charger increases the risk of an electric shock.
 Do not charge other batteries. The battery charger is
suitable only for charging Bosch lithium ion batteries with-
in the listed voltage range. Otherwise there is danger of fire
and explosion.
 Keep the battery charger clean. Contamination can lead
to danger of an electric shock.
F 016 L70 876 | (3.2.14)
 Before each use, check the battery charger, cable and
plug. If damage is detected, do not use the battery
charger. Never open the battery charger yourself.
Have repairs performed only by a qualified technician
and only using original spare parts. Damaged battery
chargers, cables and plugs increase the risk of an electric
shock.
 Do not operate the battery charger on easily inflamma-
ble surfaces (e. g., paper, textiles, etc.) or surround-
ings. The heating of the battery charger during the charg-
ing process can pose a fire hazard.
 Supervise children. This will ensure that children do not
play with the charger.
 Children or persons that owing to their physical, senso-
ry or mental limitations or to their lack of experience or
knowledge, are not capable of securely operating the
charger, may only use this charger under supervision
or after having been instructed by a responsible per-
son. Otherwise, there is danger of operating errors and in-
juries.
Maintenance
 Remove battery before adjusting or cleaning, and be-
fore leaving the machine unattended for any period. Al-
ways wear gardening gloves when handling or working
near the sharp blades.
 Examine the machine and replace worn or damaged parts
for safety.
 Always lubricate the cutting blade with protective spray
before storage.
 Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure that the ma-
chine is in safe working condition.
 Ensure replacement parts fitted are Bosch approved.
 Always lubricate the cutting blade with protective
spray before use.
