If you want to use an extension cable when operat- ing your product, only the following cable dimen- sions should be used:
-1.0 mm2: max length 40 m
-1.5 mm2: max length 60 m
-2.5 mm2: max length 100 m
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.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a Bosch Service Centre.
BFor products not sold in GB:
WARNING: For safety, it is essential that the mains plug 5 attached to the machine is fitted to the power supply cable 15.
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.
Products sold in GB only: Your mower is fitted with an approved 13 A (BS 1363/A) electric plug and is protected by a 13 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 by an authorized customer sercive agent.
The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a possible shock hazard and should never be inserted into a 13 A socket elsewhere.
