Do not carry the product by the cable.
u
The wearing of a face mask is recommended.
u
Wait until all product components have completely
u
stopped before touching them. The fan continues to ro-
tate after the product is switched off and can cause in-
jury.
Do not modify the product. Unauthorized modifications
u
may impair the safety of your product and may result in
increased noise and vibration.
When in vacuum mode, objects other than leaves and
u
garden waste, as stipulated in the Intended Use, could be
collected.
Do not vacuum solid objects such as big branches, broken
glass, pieces of metal and stones.
A worn fan or blower housing (chips, cracks, nicks) may
u
cause an increased risk of injury from thrown foreign ob-
jects. If the fan or blower housing are damaged, consult
the Bosch hotline.
In rare cases (e.g. prolonged use in hot, dry conditions) a
u
blower vacuum can generate an electrostatic charge, that
may be felt on contact with the product.
Remove the plug from the socket:
– Whenever you leave the product
– Before checking, clearing a blockage or working on the
product
– After a collision with a foreign object. Inspect the product
for damage and make repairs as necessary
– If the product starts to vibrate abnormally (check immedi-
ately)

Connecting to the mains

The voltage of the power source must correspond with
u
the data on the type plate of the product.
We recommend that this product is only connected into a
u
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 product
u
which correspond to the types indicated by the manufac-
turer. Contact the Service Centre to do this.
Never touch the mains plug with wet hands.
u
Do not run over, crush or pull the power supply cord or
u
extension cord, otherwise it may be damaged. Protect the
cable from heat, oil and sharp edges.
The extension lead must have a cross section in accord-
u
ance with the operating instructions and be protected
against splashed water. The connection must not be in
water.

Your product 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 as applicable). Contact
your Bosch Service Centre for details. If in doubt contact a
qualified 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
be replaced by a Bosch Service Centre. Only use approved
extension cables.
Use only extension cords, cables, leads and cable reels that
comply with EN 61242/IEC 61242 or IEC 60884-2-7 and
are of type H05VV-F or H05RN-F.
If you want to use an extension cable when operating your
product, only the following cable dimensions should be
used:
– Nominal conductor area of 1.25 mm
– Maximum length 30 m for a Cord Extension Set or max-
imum length of 60 m for a Cable Reel with Residual Cur-
rent Device (RCD).
Note: If an extension cable is used it must be earthed and
connected through the plug to the earth cable of your supply
network 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
socket must be of watertight construction
