Check the power cord and mains plug for damage before every use. If the power cord is damaged, please arrange for it to be replaced immediately by an authorised repair agent or a skilled electrician
Check the high-pressure hose for damage before every use. Please arrange for the immediate replacement of a damaged high-pressure hose.
The appliance may not be used in areas where a risk of explosion is present.
If the appliance is used in hazardous areas (e.g. filling stations) the corresponding safety provisions must be observed.
High-pressure jets can be 
dangerous if improperly 
used. The jet must not be

mals, live electrical equipment or at the appliance itself.
The high-pressure jet must not be directed at other persons or directed by the user at him/herself to clean clothing or footwear.
Never use the appliance to clean objects containing hazardous substances (e.g. asbestos).
Vehicle tyres or tyre valves are susceptible to damage from the high-pressure jet and may burst. The first indication of this is a discolouration of the tyre. Damaged vehicle tyres/tyre valves are highly dangerous. Ensure that a distance of at least 30 cm is observed when cleaning with the jet!
