Quick guide from the manual
The Bosch AdvancedPrune 18V-45 is a cordless pole pruner designed for domestic use to prune branches and plants up to 45 mm in diameter (35 mm for hard wood). Only one extension pole may be used at a time.
Assembly
Important: Always put the blade cover on during all assembly work. Hold the twist lock when pulling off the tube or cutting head.
- Cutting Head: Slide the cutting head into the machine, aligning the arrows. Press firmly and screw the twist lock to the right to secure.
- Extension Pole: Remove the cutting head. Slide the extension pole into the machine and press firmly. Secure by turning the twist lock to the right. Then, attach the cutting head to the extension pole using the same method.
Operation
Battery: Insert the charged battery until it is fully fitted. To remove, press the battery release button and pull it out.
360° Trigger: Activate the 360° trigger by rotating it clockwise, then gently pull it backwards to operate the blades. Releasing the trigger opens the blades for the next cut.
Cutting Tips
- Always work with both hands on the machine.
- Never touch the blades without gloves or while the battery is inserted.
- Use the hook to pull already cut, entangled branches towards you.
- If the blade gets stuck, slightly pivot the tool back and forth in the cutting direction.
- Never cut too close to the trunk to ensure healthy regrowth.
- Remove dead, damaged, or diseased branches.
Maintenance and Storage
Always remove the battery before any maintenance, tool change, transport, or storage. Clean the blade with a damp cloth after use. Apply lubricant spray before and after use in a well-ventilated area. Store in a secure, dry place out of reach of children.
Troubleshooting
If the LED flashes, the branch may be too hard, or the battery/machine may be overheated. Allow the unit to cool down. If the cutting head does not work, ensure the internal drive linkage is fully engaged and the cutting head/extension is correctly mounted.
