Additional Safety Warnings; Electrical Safety - Bosch UniversalHedgeCut 50 Originalbetriebsanleitung

10 | English
Carry the hedge trimmer by the handle with the cutter
u
blade stopped. When transporting or storing the
hedge trimmer always fit the cutting device cover.
Proper handling of the hedge trimmer will reduce pos-
sible personal injury from the cutter blades.
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces
u
only, because the cutter blade may contact hidden
wiring or its own cord. Cutter blades contacting a "live"
wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool
"live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
Keep cable away from cutting area. During operation
u
the cable may be hidden in shrubs and can be accident-
ally cut by the blade.

Electrical Safety

Warning: Switch off, remove plug from
mains before adjusting, cleaning or if cable
is cut, damaged or entangled.
Your machine is double insulated for safety and requires no
earth connection. The operating voltage is 230 V AC, 50 Hz
(for non-EU countries 220 V, 240 V 50 Hz). Contact your
Bosch Service Centre for details. If in doubt contact a quali-
fied electrician or the nearest Bosch Service Centre.
For increased electrical safety use a Residual Current Device
(RCD) with a tripping current of not more than 30 mA. Al-
ways check your RCD every time you use it.
Keep the supply cables away from moving hazardous parts
and avoid damage to the cables; this can lead to contact with
live parts.
The connections (plugs and sockets) should be kept dry and
off the ground.
The supply cables must be inspected for signs of damage at
regular intervals and may only be used if in perfect condi-
tion.
If the supply cable on the product is damaged, it must only
