FAQs

Can I use batteries from other Bosch tool ranges?

This hedgecutter uses the 18V POWER FOR ALL battery system. Batteries from other Bosch 18V ranges are generally compatible, as are batteries from other POWER FOR ALL alliance brands.

How thick are the branches this hedgecutter can cut?

The tooth opening is 16 mm, meaning it can cut through branches up to 1.6 cm in diameter.

Does this model come with a battery and charger?

Yes, this specific product bundle (06008B3001+1600A039BM) includes one 4.0Ah Power4All Battery and one Power4All Charger.

Is the cutting head adjustable?

Yes, the cutting head is pivoting and can be angled to suit different cutting needs and reach awkward areas.

How do I maintain the blades?

After use, clean the blades with a dry cloth. For tougher sap, use a damp cloth with mild cleaner. Store with blade protectors and consider occasional lubrication as per the user manual.

Troubleshooting

Hedgecutter will not turn on.

Ensure the battery is correctly inserted and fully charged. Check if the safety switch is engaged. Consult the user manual for specific troubleshooting steps.

Blades are jamming frequently.

Ensure the branches being cut do not exceed the 16mm tooth opening. Clear any obstructions from the blades. Check if the Bosch Anti-Blocking System is functioning correctly; refer to the manual if issues persist.

Reduced cutting performance.

Check the battery charge level. Ensure the blades are clean and sharp. Inspect for any blockages in the cutting mechanism. The Anti-Blocking System might be engaged; reset it according to the manual.

Telescopic pole lock is loose.

Ensure the locking mechanism is fully engaged and tightened. Check for any damage to the pole or locking components. If damage is present, contact customer support.
