For Your Safety

f Warning! Switch off, remove plug from

mains before adjusting, cleaning or if ca­ble is cut, damaged 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:

AXT22D/25D/23TC/25TC = 13A

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 3x1.5mm
than 25 m in length, the cross section must be
at least 2.5 mm

f WARNING! Inadequate extension cables

can be dangerous. Extension cable, plug
and socket must be of watertight con­struction and intended for outdoor use.

Cable connections should be kept dry and off
the ground.

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 re­placed by a Bosch Service Centre.

When using cable drums, these must be com­pletely unreeled.

Products sold in GB only: Your product is fit­ted 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 out­lets, it should be cut off and an appropriate
plug fitted in its place by an authorised cus­tomer service agent. The replacement plug
should have the same fuse rating as the origi­nal plug.
The severed plug must be disposed of to
avoid a possible shock hazard and should nev­er 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)

n Lift back blade cover plate 13.

o p Hook in chute assembly 8 to the garden

product, and then release the blade cov­er plate 13.

q 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)

f Always place the machine on firm level

ground. During operation, do not tilt or
move.

f 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 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 roll­er 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 block­age 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

f Wear eye protection, hearing protection

and safety gloves at all times while oper­ating the machine.

f 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 mate­rial will be fed by the cutter roller 16 without
further assistance.

f Longer material standing out from the

machine could lash out when being pulled
in by the knives! Please keep at safe 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 roller 16 from
clogging.

– Do not fill soft waste such as kitchen rub-

bish 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 15 is factory adjusted and
may not require adjustment before the first
use.

Bosch Power Tools F 016 L70 735 | (11.4.11)

OBJ_BUCH-895-003.book Page 16 Monday, April 11, 2011 1:52 PM

16 | English

Adjustment of the pressure plate 15 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 roller 16 cuts the pres­sure plate 15 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 15 could wear unnec­essarily.

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.
