earth connection. The operating voltage is 230 V AC, 50 Hz
(for non-EU countries 220 V, 240 V as applicable). Contact
your Bosch Service Centre for details. If in doubt contact a
qualified electrician or the nearest Bosch Service Centre.
For electrical safety use a Residual Current Device (RCD)
u
with a tripping current of not more than 30 mA. Always
check your RCD every time you use it.
Keep the supply cables away from moving hazardous parts
and avoid damage to the cables; this can lead to contact with
live parts.
The connections (plugs and sockets) should be kept dry and
off the ground.
The supply cables must be inspected for signs of damage at
regular intervals and may only be used if in perfect condi-
tion.
If the supply cable on the product is damaged, it must only
be replaced by a Bosch Service Centre. Only use approved
extension cables.
Use only extension cords, cables, leads and cable reels that
comply with EN 61242/IEC 61242 or IEC 60884-2-7 and
are of type H05VV-F or H05RN-F.
If you want to use an extension cable when operating your
product, only the following cable dimensions should be
used:
– Nominal conductor area of 1.25 mm
– Maximum length 30 m for a Cord Extension Set or max-
imum length of 60 m for a Cable Reel with Residual Cur-
rent Device (RCD).
Note: If an extension cable is used it must be earthed and
connected through the plug to the earth cable of your supply
network in accordance with prescribed safety regulations.
If in doubt contact a qualified electrician or the nearest
Bosch Service Centre.
WARNING! Inadequate extension cables can
be dangerous. Extension cable, plug and
socket must be of watertight construction
and intended for outdoor use.
For products not sold in GB:
WARNING: For your safety, it is required that the plug at-
tached to the product is connected with the extension cord.
The coupling of the extension cord must be protected
against splash water, be made of rubber or coated with rub-

lief.

If the plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be
cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place by an au-
thorised customer service agent. The replacement plug
should have the same fuse rating as the original plug.
