Do not modify this product. Unau-
thorized modifications may impair
the safety of your product and may
result in increased noise and vibra-
tion.
Use only the Bosch garden tool ac-
cessories recommended and ap-
proved to be used on this machine.
Prolonged use of a power tool (or oth-
er machines) exposing the operator
to vibrations may produce white fin-
ger disease (Raynaud's phenome-
non) or carpal tunnel syndrome.
These conditions reduce the hand's
ability to feel and regulate tempera-
ture, produce numbness and burning
sensations and may cause nerve and
circulation damage and tissue necro-
sis.
Contact your doctor if you experience
symptoms of overexposure to vibra-
tion. These symptoms include numb-
ness, loss of feeling, tingling, prick-
ing, pain, loss of strength, changes in
skin colour or condition. These symp-
toms normally appear in the fingers,
hands or wrists.
Always use the tool for correct appli-
cations. Ensure only dedicated front
and rear handles are used to hold the
tool and if necessary restrict working
time.
Maintenance
Always wear protective gloves
when handling or working near the
sharp blades.

nance regularly.
