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.

Your machine is double insulated for safety and requires no
earth connection. The operating voltage is 230 V AC, 50 Hz
(for non-EU countries 220 V). Only use approved extension
cables. Contact your Bosch Service Centre for details.
It is recommended for increased electrical 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.
For products not sold in GB:
WARNING: For your safety, it is required that the plug at-
tached to the machine 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.
The connection lead must be inspected for signs of damage at
regular intervals and may only be used if in perfect condition.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a Bosch
Service Centre.
Extension cords/leads should only be used if they comply
with H05VV-F or H05RN-F types.

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 author-
ised 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 sock-
et elsewhere.
