outside, using a vacuum cleaner to
clear the dust and debris which inevi-
tably builds up there. The filter mesh
cannot be removed.
Never pick up or carry the machine
while the motor is running.
Whenever you leave the work area,
switch off, allow the cutter to stop,
and remove plug from the mains sup-
ply.
Do not tilt the machine while it is run-
ning.
Do not expose the machine to rain.
Only store the machine in a dry place.

When servicing the cutter (e. g. turn-
ing over the blade, or replacing it), be
aware that there is no brake on the
motor and so the blade can be moved
by hand and could trap fingers, etc..
Never attempt to override the inter-
lock feature of the hopper.
Electrical Safety
Warning! Switch off, remove
plug from mains before ad-
justing, cleaning or if cable is
cut, damaged or entangled.
Your machine is double insulated for
safety and requires no earth connec-
tion. The operating voltage is 230 V AC,
50 Hz (for some non-EU countries
220 V, 240 V as applicable).
For increased electrical safety use a Re-
sidual Current Device (RCD) with a trip-
ping current of not more than 30 mA.
Always check your RCD every time you
use it.
Supply cord. If your appliance is in-
tended for use in the UK, it may have a
ready-fitted supply cord, fitted with a
UK 3-pin plug approved to BS1363/A
(this has a 13A fuse fitted). Inspect the
cord regularly for damage. If damaged,

get it replaced by a Bosch Service Cen-
tre; it cannot be safely replaced by any-
one else.
If the plug is not suitable for your socket
outlet, get a Bosch service agent to re-
place the plug. Dispose of the severed
plug immediately; never insert any plug
with severed flex into a mains socket,
even if the socket is switched off, as it
poses a risk of electric shock from the
exposed flex, which could be made live.
Extension leads. If your appliance is
intended for use outside the UK, it will
be fitted with a special “Schuko” plug
built into the appliance; this called an
appliance inlet. You will need an exten-
sion lead, or reel, fitted with a mating
‘Schuko’ socket at one end and a plug
suitable for your local supply system at
the other. This is not supplied with the
product.
If you have a UK appliance with a fitted
plug, you can use an extension lead, or
reel, with it.
Warning! Inadequate exten-
sion cables can be dangerous.
The following advice applies to
ALL extension leads for all products.
– Extension leads used should comply
with EN 60884-2-7, and be intended
for outdoor use.
– Extension reels should comply with
EN 61242/IEC 61242.
– Follow the instructions supplied with
any lead or reel, and any local wiring
regulations.
– There should be an earth core within
the cable.
– Always ensure that leads are not
damaged, for instance by dragging
across rough ground, or being caught
on obstructions. Do not let the cable
or any connections stand in water.
– Inspect the lead regularly for damage,
and repair or replace if damaged.
– Any couplings between extension
leads should be of rubber, and be
protected against splashed water,
preferably by an IP55 approval.
– Maximum length: for use with this
product, the maximum total length of
cable should be 30 m for extension
leads, or up to 60 m for a cable reel, if
an RCD (with rated residual current of
30 mA) is incorporated into the reel.
– Minimum size: for use with this prod-
uct, the minimum nominal conductor
cross-sectional area of the cable
must be 1.25 mm2 (UK) or 1.5 mm2
(outside UK).
non-UK product: with appliance inlet
can still be used in the UK, with the ap-
propriate extension lead, which must,
of course, be fitted with a 13A UK plug.

Bosch Power Tools F 016 L81 414 | (1.3.18)
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. clogging up of the cutter) can lead to a
standstill of the machine after a few seconds. After a short pe-
riod, the machine can be switched on again.
If the shredder clogs up again, turn it off, pull out the mains
plug, and clear the blockage. Continuous overloading and
blocking up of the motor outlet vents can cause the motor
thermal overload cutout to trip. Clean the outlet mesh and
turn the shredder off for several minutes to allow it to cool.
The trip will reset automatically, but the shredder will not, of
course, start again until you turn the ON/OFF knob back to
“0” and repeat the start sequence.
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, par-
ticularly when wet. Any blockages can be avoided by intermit-
tently 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 can be reused. Ensure it is tightened very firm-
ly when replacing the cutter disc. When both sides are blunt,
replace the blade. A new blade is available as a spare; use the
new bolt which is supplied with it.
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.
Warning! Switch off, remove plug from mains before adjusting, cleaning or if cable is cut, damaged or entangled.
