Bosch Power Tools
get it replaced by a Bosch Service Cen-
tre; it cannot be safely replaced by any-
one else.
If the plug is not suitable for your socket
outlet, get a Bosch service agent to re-
place the plug. Dispose of the severed
plug immediately; never insert any plug
with severed flex into a mains socket,
even if the socket is switched off, as it
poses a risk of electric shock from the
exposed flex, which could be made live.
Extension leads.
If your appliance is
intended for use outside the UK, it will
be fitted with a special “Schuko” plug
built into the appliance; this called an
appliance inlet. You will need an exten-
sion lead, or reel, fitted with a mating
‘Schuko’ socket at one end and a plug
suitable for your local supply system at
the other. This is not supplied with the
product.
If you have a UK appliance with a fitted
plug, you can use an extension lead, or
reel, with it.
Warning! Inadequate exten-
sion cables can be dangerous.
The following advice applies to
ALL extension leads for all products.
– Extension leads used should comply
with EN 60884-2-7, and be intended
for outdoor use.
– Extension reels should comply with
EN 61242/IEC 61242.
– Follow the instructions supplied with
any lead or reel, and any local wiring
regulations.
– There should be an earth core within
the cable.
– Always ensure that leads are not
damaged, for instance by dragging
across rough ground, or being caught
on obstructions. Do not let the cable
or any connections stand in water.
– Inspect the lead regularly for damage,
and repair or replace if damaged.
– Any couplings between extension
leads should be of rubber, and be
protected against splashed water,
preferably by an IP55 approval.
– Maximum length: for use with this
product, the maximum total length of
cable should be 30 m for extension
leads, or up to 60 m for a cable reel, if
an RCD (with rated residual current of
30 mA) is incorporated into the reel.
– Minimum size: for use with this prod-
uct, the minimum nominal conductor
cross-sectional area of the cable
must be 1.25 mm
2
(UK) or 1.5 mm
2
(outside UK).
non-UK product:
with appliance inlet
can still be used in the UK, with the ap-
propriate extension lead, which must,
of course, be fitted with a 13A UK plug.
