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.
WARNING: For safety, it is essential that the mains
plug 11 attached to the machine is fitted to the power
supply cable 13. (see figure
The couplings of connection leads must be pro-
tected against splashes and the coupling sockets on
the leads must be made of rubber or coated with rub-
ber.
Fixing means for the connection leads must be used.
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 Center.
Extension cords/leads should only be used if they
comply with H05VV-F or H05RN-F types.
Products sold in GB only: Your machine is fitted with
an approved 13 A (BS 1363/A) electric plug and is
protected by a 3 A fuse (ASTA Approved to
BS 1362).
If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket out-
lets, it should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted
in its place.
The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a
possible shock hazard and should never be inserted
into a 13 A socket elsewhere.
