WARNING! Inadequate extension
cables can be dangerous. Exten-
sion cable, plug and socket must be
of watertight construction and in-
tended for outdoor use.
Cable connections should be kept dry
and off the ground.
It is recommended for increased elec-
trical safety to use a Residual Current
Device (RCD) with a tripping current of
not more than 30 mA. Always check
your RCD every time you use it.
The connection lead must be inspected
for signs of damage at regular intervals
and may only be used if in perfect con-
dition.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must
be replaced by a Bosch Service Centre.
For products not sold in GB:
WARNING: For your safety, it is re-
quired that the plug attached to the ma-
chine 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 rubber. The extension cord must
be used with a cable strain relief.
Products sold in GB only: Your prod-
uct is fitted with a BS 1363/A approved
electric plug with internal fuse (ASTA
approved to BS 1362).
If the plug is not suitable for your socket
outlets, it should be cut off and an ap-
propriate plug fitted in its place by an
authorised customer service agent.
The replacement plug should have the
same fuse rating as the original plug.
The severed plug must be disposed of
to avoid a possible shock hazard and
should never be inserted into a mains
socket elsewhere.
