For Your Safety
Warning! Switch off, remove plug from mains
before adjusting, cleaning or if cable is cut,
damaged or entangled.
The operating voltage is 230 V AC, 50 Hz (for non-EU coun-
tries 220 V, 240 V as applicable). Only use approved exten-
sion cables. Contact your Bosch Service Centre for details.
If you want to use an extension cable when operating your
high pressure washer, only the following cable dimensions
should be used:
- 1.5 mm
2 – max length 20 m
- 2.5 mm 2 – max length 50 m
Note: If an extension cable is used it must be earthed and con-
nected through the plug to the earth cable of your supply net-
work in accordance with prescribed safety regulations.
If in doubt contact a qualified electrician or the nearest Bosch
Service Centre.
WARNING! Inadequate extension cables can
be dangerous. Extension cable, plug and sock-
et must be of watertight construction and in-
tended for outdoor use.
Cable connections should be kept dry and off the ground.
For increased electrical safety to use a Residual Current De-
vice (RCD) with a tripping current of not more than 30 mA. Al-
ways check your RCD every time you use it.
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 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.
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 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.
To prevent damage to the appliance, do not allow it to operate
dry.
