GENERAL PRECAUTIONS FOR USE

1. Keep the machine out of the reach of children.

2. High pressure water jets are potentially dangerous if used incorrectly. In particular, the jet must not be directed

against persons or animals, electrical equipment or the machine itself.
DO NOT USE the machine when persons and/or animals are within the reach of the jet.

3. The user must operate the machine in safe conditions and situations avoiding any situations of potential danger to

himself or other persons. In particular the user will have to:

- Avoid operating in unstable balance conditions.

- Remember that the high pressure jet generates a recoil when the gun is opened. The force of this recoil is less
than 4.5 pound-force.

- Use adequate protective clothing.

- Wear protective goggles and anti-slip rubber shoes.

- Avoid contaminating the environment with polluting, toxic or harmful substances.

4. This machine is build in compliance with the requirements of the current safety regulations. The use of electrical
appliances involves the respect of some basic rules:

- Do not touch electrical parts or components.

- All operations of inspection, maintenance or repair must be made by qualified personnel only. ALWAYS

disconnect the plug before proceeding to any of the above mentioned operations.

5. Do not pull power cord to unplug. Do not pull high pressure hose to move unit.

6. Before using the machine, inspect power cord to make sure it is not damaged. If it is damaged, have it replaced
by qualified personnel. Replace power cord only with a cable of the same type as the original, this can be
identified by the marking on the outer sleeve. Do not damage or effect risky repair on power cord.

7. Before using the machine, inspect high pressure hose to make sure it is not damaged. In case of replacement
make sure the new hose has at least the same specifications as the original. Technical specifications (maximum
working pressure, date of manufacture, name of manufacturer) must be marked on the outer sleeve of hose.
