If in doubt contact a qualified electrician or the nearest Bosch Service Centre.
WARNING! Inadequate extension cables can be dangerous. Extension cable, plug and socket must be of watertight construction and intended for outdoor use.
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.
The connection lead must be inspected for signs of damage at regular intervals and may only be used if in perfect condition.
