Personal protective

equipment

몇 CAUTION

Wear suitable

protective clothing and safety
goggles to protect yourself from
water or dirt backsplash. Aero­sols can be formed when using
high-pressure cleaners. Inhaling
aerosols can be harmful for your
health. Depending on the appli­cation, the use of fully shielded
nozzles (e.g. surface cleaners)
can significantly lower the emis­sion of aqueous aerosols. De­pending on the environment to
be cleaned, wear a suitable res­piratory protective mask of class
FFP 2 or comparable to protect
yourself from inhaling aerosols if
the use of a fully shielded nozzle
is not possible.

General safety warnings

 DANGER Risk of asphyxia­tion. Keep packaging film out of
the reach of children.

몇 WARNING Only use the de-

vice for its proper use. Take into
account the local conditions and
beware of third parties, in par­ticular children, when working
with the device. Persons with
reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities, or those with
a lack of experience and knowl­edge, are only allowed to use
the appliance if they are super­vised or have been instructed
with respect to using the appli­ance safely , and understand the

4English

resultant dangers involved. 
Children must not operate the
device. Children must be su­pervised to prevent them from
playing with the appliance.
몇 CAUTION Safety devices
are provided for your own pro­tection. Never modify or bypass
safety devices.

Risk of electric shock

 DANGER Only connect pro­tection class I devices to properly
earthed power sources. Only
connect the device to alternating
current. The voltage indicated on
the type plate must match the
voltage of the power source. 
Only operate the device via a
fault current protection switch
(maximum 30 mA). Never
touch the mains plug and socket
with wet hands. The mains plug
and coupling of the extension ca­ble must be water tight and may
not be placed in water. The cou­pling may not be on the floor. Use
cable drums to ensure that the
sockets are at least 60 mm
above the floor. All live parts in
the work area must be protected
against water jets.
몇 WARNING Only connect
the device to an electrical con­nection which has been set up
by a qualified electrician as per
IEC 60364-1. Check the power
supply cable with mains plug for
damage before operation each

time. Do not put the device into
operation with a damaged pow­er supply cable. Have a dam­aged power supply cable
replaced immediately by the au­thorised customer service / qual­ified electrician. Do not
damage the power supply and
extension cable by running over
it, crushing or yanking it or simi­lar. Protect the power supply ca­ble from heat, oil and sharp
edges. Unsuitable electrical
extension cables are danger­ous. Only use approved and ap­propriately marked electrical
extension cables with a suffi­cient line cross section when

outdoors: 1-10 m : 1.5 mm
10-30 m : 2.5 mm

,

몇 CAUTION Always fully un­wind the extension cable from
the cable drum. In case of
longer breaks in operation and
after use, switch off the device at
the main switch / device switch
and pull the mains plug.

Operation

 DANGER Operation in ex­plosive atmospheres is prohibit­ed. Never suction solvents,
liquids containing solvents or
undiluted acids. This includes
e.g. petrol, paint thinner or heat­ing oil. The spray mist is highly
flammable, explosive and poi­sonous. Damaged wheels /
tyre valves are extremely dan-

English 5

gerous. Damaged wheels / tyre
valves can be damaged by the
high-pressure jet and explode.
The first sign of this is discolour­ation of the tyres. Keep a spray
distance of at least 30 cm when
cleaning the wheels / tyre
valves.

몇 WARNING

Do not use the

device if people without the
proper protective clothing are in
its reach. Do not aim the high­pressure jet at yourself, e.g. to
clean clothes or shoes. Do not
direct the high-pressure jet at
persons, animals, live electrical
equipment or at the device itself.
l Do not spray any objects
which contain harmful substanc­es (e.g. asbestos). Check the
device and the accessories,
such as the high-pressure hose,
high-pressure gun and safety
devices, to make sure they are
in proper safe and reliable con­dition before each operation. Do
not use the device if it is dam­aged. Replace damaged com­ponents immediately. Only use
high-pressure hoses, control
panels and couplings specified
by the manufacturer. Risk of
scalding. When disconnecting
the supply or high-pressure
hose, hot water can leak out of
the connections after operation.
몇 CAUTION According to the
applicable regulations, the appli­ance may never be used with

the drinking water network with­out a system separator. Ensure
that the connection to your
house water system, with which
the high-pressure cleaner is op­erated, is equipped with a sys­tem separator according to
EN 12729 type BA.

Water that

has flowed through a system
separator is no longer classified
as drinkable. Never leave the
device unsupervised while it is in
operation.

Recoil force from

the water stream emerging at
the high-pressure nozzle acts on
the high-pressure gun. Keep
proper footing and hold the high­pressure gun and spray lance
firmly.

Accidents or damage

due to the device falling over.
Before all actions with or on the
device, you must make sure that
it is stable.
ATTENTION Do not operate
the device at temperatures be­low 0 °C.

Operation with detergent

몇 WARNING Incorrect use of
detergents can cause serious in­juries or poisoning.
몇 CAUTION Keep the deter­gent out of the reach of children.
l Only use the detergents sup­plied or specified by the manu­facturer. The use of other
detergents or chemicals can im­pair the safety of the device.
