Safety instructions
Danger
Never touch the mains plug and the
socket with wet hands.
The appliance must not be used if the
power cable or important parts of the
appliance, e.g. safety devices, highpressure hoses, spray guns, are damaged.
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.
Check the power cord with mains plug
for damage before every use. If the
power cord is damaged, please arrange
immediately for the exchange by an authorized customer service or a skilled
electrician.
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 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 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!
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 poi-
English 3
sonous. Do not use acetone, undiluted
acids and solvents as they are aggressive towards the materials from which
the appliance is made.
몇 Warning
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:
1 - 10 m: 1,5 mm
10 - 30 m: 2,5 mm
Check the high-pressure hose for dam-
age before every use. Please arrange
for the immediate exchange of a damaged high-pressure hose.
Do not use the appliance when there
are other persons around unless they
are also wearing safety gear.
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.
Cleaning operations which produce oily
waste water, e.g. engine washes, underbody washes, may only be carried
out using washing stations equipped
with an oil separator.
Note
The appliance is not intended for use by
young children or infirm persons without
supervision.
Young children should be supervised to
ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
The operator must use the appliance
properly. When working with the appliance, he must consider the local conditions and pay due care and attention to
other persons, in particular children,
who are nearby.
Observe a distance of at least 30 cm
when using the jet to clean painted surfaces to avoid damaging paintwork.
