store them for later use or subsequent owners.
Apart from the notes contained herein the
general safety provisions and rules for the
prevention of accidents of the legislator
must be observed.
Warnings and notes that are attached on
the appliance provide important notes for
the safe operation.
Hazard levels
DANGER
Pointer to immediate danger, which leads
to severe injuries or death.
몇 WARNING
Pointer to a possibly dangerous situation,
which can lead to severe injuries or death.
몇 CAUTION
Pointer to a possibly dangerous situation,
which can lead to minor injuries.
ATTENTION
Pointer to a possibly dangerous situation,
which can lead to property damage.
Electric components
DANGER
Risk of electric shock.
Never touch the mains plug and the
socket with wet hands.
Check the power cord with mains plug
for damage prior to every use. Immediately have damaged power cord replaced by an authorised customer service / electrician. Do not operate an appliance if the power cord is damaged.
All current-conducting parts in the work-
ing area must be protected against jet
water.
The mains plug and the coupling of an
extension cable must be watertight and
must never lie in water. Moreover, the
coupling may never lie on the ground.
The use of cable reels that ensure that
the sockets are at least 60 mm above
the ground is recommended.
Make sure that the power cord or exten-
sion cable is not damaged by running
over, pinching, dragging or the like. Protect the power cords from heat, oil, and
sharp edges.
Turn off the appliance and remove the
mains plug prior to any care and maintenance works.
Repair work and work on the electrical
components may only be performed by
an authorised customer service.
몇 WARNING
The appliance may only be connected
to an electric supply that has been installed by an electrician in accordance
with IEC 60364.
The appliance may only be connected
to alternating current. The voltage must
correspond with the type plate of the
appliance.
Safety class I - Appliances may only be
connected to sockets with proper earthing.
For safety reasons, we recommend that
you operate the appliance only via a residual current device (max. 30 mA).
An unsuitable electrical extension cable
can be hazardous. Only use an electrical extension cable which has been approved and labelled for this purpose
and has an adequate cable cross-section outdoors: 1 - 10 m: 1.5 mm
10 - 30 m: 2.5 mm

Safe handling
DANGER
The user must use the appliance as in-
tended. The person must consider the
local conditions and must pay attention
to other persons in the vicinity when
working with the appliance.
Check important components, such as
high-pressure hose, hand spray gun
and safety installations, for damage prior to every operation. Immediately replace damaged components. Do not
operate appliance with damaged components.
High-pressure jets can be dangerous if
improperly used. The jet may 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 the user him/herself to clean clothing or footwear.
Vehicle tyres/tyre valves are suscepti-
ble to damage from the high-pressure
jet and may burst. The first indication for
this is a discolouration of the tyre. Damaged vehicle tyres/tyre valves are perilous. Keep a minimum jet distance of
30 cm during cleaning!
몇 WARNING
Do not use the appliance when there
are other persons around unless they
are also wearing protective clothing.
The appliance must not be operated by
children or persons who have not been
instructed accordingly.
This appliance is not intended for use
by persons with limited physical, sensory or mental capacities or lacking experience and/or skills, unless such persons are accompanied and supervised
by a person in charge of their safety or
they have received precise instructions
on the use of this appliance and have
understood the resulting risks.
Children must not play with this appli-
ance.
Supervise children to prevent them
from playing with the appliance.
몇 CAUTION
Create stability for the appliance prior to
any work on or with the appliance to
prevent accidents or damage.
The water jet that is emitted from the
high-pressure nozzle results in a repulsion power acting on the hand spray
gun. Make sure that you have a firm
footing and are also holding the hand
spray gun and spray lance firmly.
Never leave the appliance unattended
as long as it is in operation.
ATTENTION
In case of extended breaks, switch off
the appliance at the appliance switch.
Do not operate the appliance at temper-
atures below 0 °C.
Other risks
DANGER
The appliance may not be operated in
explosive atmospheres.
Never use the appliance to clean ob-
jects containing hazardous substances
(e.g. asbestos).
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 is highly inflammable, explosive and poisonous. Do not
use acetone, undiluted acids and solvents, as they corrode the materials
used on the appliance.
Keep packaging films away from chil-
dren, there is a risk of suffocation!
몇 WARNING
According to applicable regulations, the
appliance must never be used on the
drinking water net without a system
separator. Ensure that the connection
of your building water installation on
which the high-pressure cleaner is operated is equipped with a system separator pursuant to EN 12729 Type BA.
Water that has flown through a system
separator is no longer classified as
drinking water.
4 English
High-pressure hoses, fixtures and cou-
plings are important for the safety of the
appliance. Only use high-pressure hoses, fixtures and couplings recommended by the manufacturer.
When disconnecting the supply or high
pressure hose, hot water may leak from
the connections after operation.
몇 CAUTION
Mind the weight of the appliance when
selecting the storage location and during transport (see technical data) to prevent accidents or injuries.
Working with detergent
몇 WARNING
This appliance was designed to be
used with detergents which are supplied or recommended by the manufacturer. The use of other detergents or
chemicals may compromise the safety
of the appliance.
The improper use of detergents can
cause severe injuries or toxication.
Store detergents away from the reach
of children.
Safety Devices
몇 CAUTION
Safety installations serve the protection of the
user and may not be modified or bypassed.
Appliance switch
The appliance switch prevents unintentional operation of the appliance.
Lock trigger gun
This lock locks the lever of the trigger gun
and prevents the inadvertent start of the appliance.
Overflow valve with pressure switch
The overflow valve prevents the permissible working pressure from being exceeded.
If the lever on the trigger gun is released
the pressure switch turns off the pump, the
high pressure jet is stopped. If the lever is
pulled the pump is turned on again.
Motor protection switch
The motor protection switch switches off
the device if the power consumption is high.
Symbols on the machine
The high pressure jet must not be
directed at persons, animals, live
electrical equipment or at the appliance itself.
Gerät vor Frost schützen.
The appliance must not be directly
connected to the public drinking
water network.
Personal protective equipment
몇 CAUTION
Wear protective clothing and safety
goggles to protect against splash back
containing water or dirt.
During the use of high-pressure clean-
ers aerosols can develop. Inhaling aerosols can cause health damage.
– Depending on the application, com-
pletely shielded nozzles (e.g. surface
cleaner) that significantly reduce the
emission of aqueous aerosols can be
used for high-pressure cleaning.
– The use of such shielding is not possi-
ble with all applications.
– If the use of a completely shielded noz-
zle is not possible, a respirator of the
category FFP 2 or the like should be
used, depending on the environment to
be cleaned.
