switching on the high-pressure jet.
Step 3- Use the high pressure lance (continued)
CAUTION!
- Jet spray adjustment is very aggressive. Do not adjust while spraying. Switch the machine off when
interrupting your work for extended periods of time.
- The high-pressure pump starts running as soon as you operate the hand-held spray gun. The highpressure pump stops running as soon as you release the trigger on the hand-held spray gun.
2. Unlock the safety button and press the trigger on the handheld spray lance. It takes approximately 5
seconds to release the high pressure.
NOTE! Clogging of the spray tips causes the pump pressure to be too high and cleaning is immediately
required. You can clean the spray tips by carefully inserting a using the supplied cleaning pin into the
tip to remove deposits.
3. Use with adjustable spray lance, 180 degree rotation of the nozzle. It takes a couple of seconds for
the spray to adjust to setting.
The trigger gun safety lock prevents the trigger from being engaged accidentally and ensures the trigger
gun cannot be locked in the ON position.
Without turning the gun, adjust the spray to desired angle by turning the nozzle with 180° marking as

Recycling and disposal
Recycle unwanted materials instead of disposing of them as waste. All tools, hoses and
packaging should be sorted, taken to the local recycling centre and disposed of in an
environmentally safe way.
Recycle rather than dispose of unwanted material in landll whenever possible. The machine
must be delivered in rigid packaging to avoid damage during transportation. The packaging
and the machine itself are manufactured from recyclable materials and should be disposed of
accordingly.
Only dispose of electrical/electronic/battery terms in separate collection schemes, which cater
for the recovery and recycling of materials contained within. Your cooperation is vital to ensure
2
the success of these schemes and for the protection of the environment.
Recycle packaging where facilities exist.
This symbol is known as the Crossed out Wheelie Bin Symbol. When this symbol is marked on a
product or battery, it means that it should not be disposed of with your general household waste.
Some chemicals contained within electrical/electronic products or batteries can be harmful to
health.
The vibration emission value during actual use of the tool can differ from the declared value
depending on the ways in which the tool is used. Identify safety measures to protect the operator
that are based on an estimation of exposure in the actual conditions of use (taking account of all
parts of the operating cycle such as the times when the tool is switched off and when it is running
idle in addition to the trigger time).
The sound intensity level for the operator may exceed 85dB(A) and ear protection measures are
necessary.
