Bosch Power Tools F 016 L81 732 | (29.5.17)

 If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoid-

able, use a residual current device (RCD) protected

supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

Personal safety

 Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common

sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power

tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs,

alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while op-

erating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

 Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye

protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask,

non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used

for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

 Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in

the off-position before connecting to power source

and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.

Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or en-

ergising power tools that have the switch on invites acci-

dents.

 Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning

the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a ro-

tating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.

 Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at

all times. This enables better control of the power tool in

unexpected situations.

 Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewel-

lery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from

moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be

caught in moving parts.

 If devices are provided for the connection of dust ex-

traction and collection facilities, ensure these are con-

nected and properly used. Use of dust collection can re-

duce dust-related hazards.

Power tool use and care

 Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool

for your application. The correct power tool will do the

job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

 Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it

on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with

the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

 Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the

battery pack from the power tool before making any

adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power

tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of

starting the power tool accidentally.

 Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and

do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or

these instructions to operate the power tool. Power

tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

 Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or bind-

ing of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other

condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If

damaged, have the power tool repaired before use.

Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power

tools.

 Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained

cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind

and are easier to control.

 Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in ac-

cordance with these instructions, taking into account

the working conditions and the work to be performed.

Use of the power tool for operations different from those

intended could result in a hazardous situation.

Service

 Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair per-

son using only identical replacement parts. This will en-

sure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

Hedge trimmer safety warnings

 Keep all parts of the body away from the cutter blade.

Do not remove cut material or hold material to be cut

when blades are moving. Make sure the switch is off

when clearing jammed material. A moment of inatten-

tion while operating the hedge trimmer may result in seri-

ous personal injury.

 Carry the hedge trimmer by the handle with the cutter

blade stopped. When transporting or storing the hedge

trimmer always fit the cutting device cover. Proper han-

dling of the hedge trimmer will reduce possible personal

injury from the cutter blades.

 Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces on-

ly, because the cutter blade may contact hidden wiring

or its own cord. Cutter blades contacting a “live” wire may

make exposed metal parts of the power “live” and could

give the operator an electric shock.

 Keep cable away from cutting area. During operation the

cable may be hidden in shrubs and can be accidentally cut

by the blade.

Additional safety warnings

 This tool is not intended for use by persons (including chil-

dren) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabili-

ties, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they

have been given supervision or instruction concerning use

of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not

play with the appliance.

 When working with the machine, always hold it firmly

with both hands and provide for a secure stance. The

power tool is guided more secure with both hands.

 Wait until the machine has come to a standstill before

placing it down.

 Other persons and animals should remain at a distance of

3 metres or more when the machine is being used. The op-

erator is responsible for third persons in the working area.

 Never grasp the blade of the hedgecutter.

 Children or persons unfamiliar with these instructions

must not operate the hedgecutter. Local regulations may

restrict the age of the operator.

 Never cut a hedge while people, especially children or

pets, are nearby.

On a Bosch AHS 550 - 16 hedge trimmer, how do you undo the centre screw (which appears to have a metal blocking ball preventing the torx key having any purchase)? All the other screws undo easily with a 20 torx key Submitted on 13-7-2021 at 19:46
