Safety Notes

Before start-up please read these in-
structions!
Before using the machine please read the op-
erating instructions for your unit and comply in
particular with these safety instructions.
The warning and information signs attached to
the unit provide important information for safe
operation.
Apart from the information in the operating in-
structions comply with the general safety reg-
ulations and regulations for the prevention of
accidents.
Never direct the water jet at peo-
ple, animals, the unit or electric
components.
Power supply
The voltage indicated on the rating plate
must correspond to the voltage of the power
source.
We recommend that this equipment is only
connected into a socket which is protected
by a circuit-breaker that would be actuated
by a 30 mA residual current.
Only use or replace power supply cables for
this unit which correspond to the types indi-
cated by the manufacturer. See the operat-
ing instructions for the order no. and types.
If the plug is damaged, pay attention to the
following:
Plugs and sockets conforming to BS 4243 or
BS 196 should be used wherever practicable.
Domestic pattern plugs to BS 1363 are not
recommended but if their use is essential
those which have barriers or moulded chan-
nels inside should be selected so that if the
earth continuity conductor is pulled out of its
terminal it is unlikely to be able to touch the
phase terminal of the fuse carrier. Domestic
pattern plugs to BS 546 should not be used.
The wiring of the plug should leave more
slack in the earth continuity conductor than
in the other cores, so that it is not the first
Bosch Power Tools
core to be pulled out of its terminal should
the cord grip fail. Plugs which have good
grips capable of maintaining a firm hold on
the cable sheath should be selected. In gen-
eral, additional means should be provided to
relieve stress on cable terminations in the
plug. For example, additional cable clamps
should be fitted or a substantial chain could
be used to tether the machine to a fixed
point.
Plugs and sockets situated near the work site
or outdoors should be to class IP 55 of
BS 5490 to provide adequate protection
against ingress of water, etc. and cable en-
tries require effective sealing. Rubber
shrouds should be provided over cable
glands. Drip-proof (class IP X2 of BS 5490)
plugs and sockets to BS 4343 are suitable for
use indoors where the plug is away from the
water spray area where the appliance is in
use.
Never touch the mains plug with wet hands.
Do not run over, crush or pull the power sup-
ply cable or extension lead, otherwise it may
be damaged. Protect the cable from heat, oil
and sharp edges.
The extension lead must have a cross section
in accordance with the operating instruc-
tions and be protected against splashed wa-
ter. The connection must not be in water.
When replacing couplings on the power sup-
ply cable or extension lead the spray water
guard and mechanical stability must remain
intact.
Water connection
Comply with the regulations of your water
supply company.
All connecting hoses must have properly
sealed joints.
The high-pressure hose must not be dam-
aged (danger of bursting). A damaged high-
pressure hose must be replaced immediate-
ly. Only use hoses and connections recom-
mended by the manufacturer.
