Product Description
The GHE 18V-50 TP is a cordless pole hedge trimmer designed for cutting and trimming hedges and shrubs. It features a 50 cm cutting length, a 7-position pivoting head, and an anti-blocking mechanism.
Assembly
Connect the hedge trimmer head to the telescopic handle and secure it by tightening the wing bolt. Attach the shoulder strap to the loops on the handles, ensuring the larger hook is on the rear handle and the smaller hook is on the front handle.

Operation
To switch on, slide the lock-off button forward, place your palm on the user presence switch, and press the On/Off switch. Hold both switches during operation. To switch off, release both switches.


Anti-Blocking Mechanism
If the blade stalls on tough material, the motor load increases. The electronics will reverse the motor to clear the blockage. This process takes up to 3 seconds.
Maintenance
Always remove the battery before maintenance. Clean the hedge trimmer with a damp cloth and apply lubricant spray to the blades before and after use. If the trimmer is used for long periods, check and lubricate the blade regularly.

Troubleshooting
If the trimmer does not operate, check the battery charge and connection. If blades run hot, they may need sharpening or lubrication. For internal faults, contact a Bosch service agent.
