The specifications apply to a rated voltage [U] of 230 V. These specifications may vary at different voltages and in country-
specific models.
Starting cycles generate brief voltage drops. Interference with other equipment/machines may occur in case of unfavourable
mains system conditions. Malfunctions are not to be expected for system impedances below 0.25 ohm.
Noise/Vibration Information
Noise emission values determined according to EN 60745-2-13.
Typically the A-weighted noise levels of the product are:
– Sound pressure level
– Sound power level
– Uncertainty K
Wear hearing protection!
Vibration total values ah (triax vector sum) and uncertainty K determined according to EN 60745-2-13
– Vibration emission value a
h
– Uncertainty K
The vibration level given in these instructions has been
measured in accordance with a standardised measuring pro-
cedure and may be used to compare power tools. It can also
be used for a preliminary estimation of exposure to vibra-
tion.
The stated vibration level applies to the main applications of
the power tool. However, if the power tool is used for differ-
ent applications, with different application tools or poorly
maintained, the vibration level may differ. This can signific-
antly increase the exposure to vibration over the total work-
ing period.
To estimate the exposure to vibration accurately, the times
when the tool is switched off or when it is running but not ac-
tually being used should also be taken into account. This can
significantly reduce the exposure to vibration over the total
working period.
Implement additional safety measures to protect the oper-
ator from the effects of vibration, such as servicing the
power tool and application tools, keeping the hands warm,
and organising workflows correctly.
Assembly
For Your Safety
Warning! Switch off, remove plug from mains before
u
adjusting or cleaning. The same applies when the
mains cable is damaged, cut or entangled.
Caution! Do not touch the rotating chain.
u
Do not operate the chain saw near other people, chil-
u
dren or animals. Do not operate the chain saw after
drinking alcohol or under the influence of intoxicating
drugs or medication.
Electrical Safety
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, 240 V 50 Hz) Contact your
Bosch Service Centre for details. If in doubt contact a quali-
fied electrician or the nearest Bosch Service Centre.
Only extension cables of design type H07 RN-F or IEC
(60245 IEC 66) are permitted for use.
When operating the chain saw with an extension cable, the
following conductor cross-sections are required:
2
– 1.0 mm
: max. length 40 m
2
– 1.5 mm
: max. length 60 m
2
– 2.5 mm
: max. length 100 m
It is recommended for increased electrical safety to use a Re-
sidual 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 (16) at-
tached to the machine is connected with the extension cord
(17) as shown. 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 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.
Products sold in GB only:
Your product is fitted with an 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 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.
