Typically the A-weighted noise levels of the product are:

|
– Sound pressure level| dB(A)| 81| 82
– Sound power level| dB(A)| 89| 90
– Uncertainty K| dB| = 3,0| = 2,0

That the declared vibration total value(s) and the declared noise emission value(s) have been measured in accordance with a standard test method and may be used for comparing one machine with another.

That the declared vibration total value(s) and the declared noise emission value(s) may also be used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.

That the vibration and noise emissions during actual use of the machine can differ from the declared total value depending on the ways in which the machine is used; and of the need to identify safety measures to protect the operator that are based on an estimation of exposure in the actual conditions of use (taking account of all parts of the operating cycle such as the times when the machine is switched off and when it is running idle in addition to the trigger time).

Assembly

For Your Safety

Warning! Switch off, remove plug from mains before adjusting or cleaning. The same applies when the mains cable is damaged, cut or entangled.

Observe correct mains voltage: The voltage of the power source must agree with the voltage specified on the nameplate of the unit. Equipment marked with 230 V can also be connected to 220 V or 240 V.

The circuit must at least be protected as follows:
AXT 22 D/25 D/23 TC/25 TC/2550 TC = 13 A

An extension cable with a cross section that is too small causes a distinct reduction in the performance capabilities of the machine. For cables to 25 m in length, a cross section of at least 3 x 1.5 mm² is required, for cables more than 25 m in length, the cross section must be at least 2.5 mm².

WARNING: Inadequate extension cables can be dangerous. Extension cable, plug and socket must be of watertight construction and intended for outdoor use.

The connections (plugs and sockets) should be kept dry and off the ground.

For increased electrical safety 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 replaced by a Bosch Service Centre.

Use only extension cords, cables, leads and cable reels that comply with EN 61242/IEC 61242 or IEC 60884-2-7 and are of type H05VV-F or H05RN-F.

When using cable drums, these must be completely unreeled.

Unpack

Remove the machine from the package.

Assemble the chute (see figures E – F)

1 Lift back blade cover plate (12).
2 3 Hook in chute assembly (8) to the garden product, and then release the blade cover plate (12).
4 Press the chute (8) down and turn red clamping knob (9) fully clockwise to lock the chute (8) in place, approximately 5x full turns of the clamping knob (9) are required.

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 plastics must not enter the chute assembly (8). Otherwise this could damage the cutting system (15).
The chute assembly (8) must be empty.

Starting

Press green button (4).

Stopping

Press the STOP button (5).
In order to protect mechanical parts, wait for 2 seconds before restarting the machine.

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 reverse button (6) to reverse the feed. The cutting system (15) runs backward and frees jammed material.

Overload Protection

Overloading (e. g. blocking of the cutting system (15) ) causes the machine to stop after a few seconds, that time a beep is audible.

Press the red STOP button to clear the error. After blocking the tool can start in reverse direction.

Press and hold the reverse button (6) to reverse the cutter to unblock.

In case of starting in the same direction the tool won’t start and beeps.

If the blockage cannot be cleared the pressure plate (14) will need to be moved away from the cutter.

The adjustment knob (10) will need to be turned a counterclockwise direction a small amount until the jammed material is clear. The pressure plate (14) will need adjustment (see “Pressure Plate Adjustment (see figure H )”, page 15).

Heavy blockage

If reversing or adjusting the pressure plate does not remove the blockage, stop the machine and remove the plug from the mains.

Turn the red clamping knob anticlockwise, pull the blade cover plate backwards and lift off the chute assembly. Lift up the blade cover plate and carefully remove all residues from the cutting system. Wear protective gloves and be careful with the sharp blades of the cutting system.

Working Advice

Wear eye protection, hearing protection and safety gloves at all times whilst operating the machine.
Always check before use that the collection box and chute assembly are fitted correctly.

The machine is fitted with sensors. If the collection box (11) and the chute assembly (8) are not correctly positioned, the machine will not start and the buzzer beeps (on AXT 23 TC/25 TC/2550 TC also the 2 LEDs (13) flash).

Press the red STOP button to clear the error.
Insert the material to be shredded. The material will be fed by the cutting system (15) without further assistance.

Longer material standing out from the machine could lash out when being pulled in by the knives! Please keep at safe a distance!

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 system (15) from clogging.
Do not fill soft waste such as kitchen rubbish into the shredder but compost directly.

Take care that the shredded material can fall freely from the discharge chute - danger 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 assembly (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 (14) is factory adjusted and may not require adjustment before the first use.

Adjustment of the pressure plate (14) is necessary as a result of wear (shredded material, e. g. branches, hangs together as a chain and is not properly cut through).

With the motor running in the forward direction (green button (4) ), turn the adjustment knob (10) a small amount at a time in a clock wise direction until a light grinding sound can be heard (the cutting system (15) cuts the pressure plate (14) to the proper clearance, and some small aluminium shavings fall out of the ejection chute).

To check, look for shavings in the collection box (11).

Readjust only to the required extent, otherwise the pressure plate (14) could wear unnecessarily.
