Product Information

Full details

The Bosch UniversalShredder 2x18V-25 is designed for homeowners seeking efficient cordless shredding of wood and garden debris. Its key benefit is the powerful, continuous shredding of branches up to 25 mm thick, offering cordless freedom anywhere in the garden. A potential caveat is the reliance on two 18V batteries for full power, which require management. This shredder features hardened steel blades, OptiCut speed control for challenging loads, a fast-feed hopper, and a lightweight design for easy transport.

Troubleshooting

Shredder won't turn on.

Ensure both 18V batteries are correctly inserted and fully charged. Check that the collection bag is properly attached, as some models have a safety interlock.

Shredder is jamming frequently.

Do not force material into the hopper. Ensure branches are no thicker than 25 mm. Remove any obstructions from the cutting mechanism. The OptiCut system should manage most loads, but overly thick or wet material may cause jams.

Reduced shredding performance.

Check the battery charge level. Clean any debris from the blades and hopper. Consider reversing or replacing the blades if they appear dull.

Unusual noise during operation.

Stop the shredder immediately and check for foreign objects lodged in the cutting mechanism or hopper. Ensure all parts are securely fastened.
