High pressure hose
The high pressure hose is specially constructed with reinforced walls to handle water pressure up to 11 MPa (1600 psi) - it can
be easily damaged and should be stored
carefully.
Do not kink.
Do not drive vehicles over the hose.
Do not expose the hose to sharp edges
or corners.
Misuse will lead to ballooning or premature
failure and will invalidate warranty.
Safety instructions
Danger
Never touch the mains plug and the
socket with wet hands.
The appliance must not be used if the
power cord or important parts of the appliance, e.g. high-pressure hoses, trigger gun or safety devices are damaged.
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 dam-
age 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 ar-
eas (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 directed at persons, animals, live electrical equipment or at the appliance itself.
The high-pressure jet must not be di-
rected at other persons or directed by
the user at him/herself to clean clothing
or footwear.
Never use the appliance to clean ob-
jects containing hazardous substances
(e.g. asbestos).
Vehicle tyres or tyre valves are suscep-
tible 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!
Risk of explosion!
Do not spray flammable liquids.
Never draw in fluids containing solvents
or undiluted acids and solvents! This includes petrol, paint thinner and heating
oil. The spray mist thus generated is
highly inflammable, explosive and poisonous. Do not use acetone, undiluted
acids and solvents as they are damaging to the materials from which the appliance is made.

extension cable must be watertight and
must never lay in the water.
Unsuitable extension cables can be
hazardous. Only use extension cables
outdoors which have been approved for
this purpose and labelled with a sufficient cable cross-section:
