and store them for later use or subsequent
owners.
Proper Use
This high-pressure cleaner is designed for
domestic use only:
– to clean machines, vehicles, buildings,
tools, facades, terraces, garden equipment etc. using a high-pressure water
jet (and detergents if required).
– with accessories, replacement parts
and detergents approved by KÄRCHER. Observe the instructions provided
with these detergents.
Symbols in the operating instructions

injury or even death.
몇 WARNING
Possible hazardous situation that could
lead to severe injury or even death.
CAUTION
Possible hazardous situation that could
lead to mild injury to persons or damage to
property.
Symbols on the machine
The high pressure jet may not
be directed at persons, animals, live electrical equipment
or at the appliance itself. Protect the appliance against frost.
Environmental protection
The packaging material can be recy-
cled. Please do not place the packaging into the ordinary refuse for disposal, but
arrange for the proper recycling.
Old appliances contain valuable mate-
rials that can be recycled. Please ar-
range for the proper recycling of old
appliances. Please dispose your old appliances using appropriate collection systems.
The extraction of water from public wa-
ters is prohibited in some countries.
Work with detergents must only be
performed on liquid-tight work surfac-
es with connections to the wastewa-
ter runoff. Do not let release
detergent into waters or earth.
Cleaning operations which produce
oily waste water, e.g. engine washes,
underbody washes, may only be car-
ried out using washing stations
equipped with an oil separator.
Lower water and energy use thanks
to the "eco" setting (see chapter "Op-
eration").

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) all of the safety
provisions and operating instructions detailed in this manual 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 direct-
ed at other persons or directed by the
user at him/herself to clean clothing or
footwear.
Never use the appliance to clean objects
containing hazardous substances (e.g.
asbestos).
Vehicle tyres or tyre valves are suscepti-
ble 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! This includes petrol,
paint thinner and heating oil. The spray
mist thus generated is highly inflamma-
ble, explosive and poisonous. Do not
use acetone, undiluted acids or solvents
as they are damaging to the materials
from which the appliance is made.
몇 WARNING
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.
Unsuitable electrical extension cables
can be hazardous. Only use electrical
extension cables outdoors which have
been approved and labelled for this purpose and have an adequate cable crosssection:
1 - 10 m: 1.5 mm
Always fully unroll electrical cables from
the cable drum.
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.
Children must not play with this appli-
ance.
Supervise children to prevent them from
playing with the appliance.
Cleaning and user maintenance must
not be performed by children without supervision.
The appliance may not be operated by
children or uninstructed persons.
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.
Supervise children to prevent them
from playing with the appliance.

other persons around unless they are
also wearing safety equipment.
Wear protective clothing and safety gog-
gles to protect against splash back containing water or dirt.
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.
CAUTION
In case of extended downtimes, switch
the appliance off at the main switch / appliance switch or remove the mains
plug.
Do not operate the appliance at temper-
atures below 0 °C.
Observe a distance of at least 30 cm
when using the jet to clean painted surfaces to avoid damaging paintwork.
Never leave the appliance unattended
when it is in operation.
Make sure that the power cable or ex-
tension cables are not damaged by running over, pinching, dragging or similar.
Protect the power cable from heat, oil,
and sharp edges.
All current-conducting parts in the work-
ing area must be protected against jet
water.
The appliance may only be connected
to an electrical supply which has been
installed in accordance with IEC 60364.
The appliance may only be connected
to alternating current. The voltage must
correspond with the type plate on the
appliance.
For safety reasons, we recommend that
you operate the appliance only via an
earth-leakage circuit breaker (max.
30 mA).
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.
Safety Devices
CAUTION
Safety devices protect the user and must
not be modified or bypassed.
Power 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.
High pressure hose
The high pressure hose is specially constructed with reinforced walls to handle water pressure up to 16 MPa (2400 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.
Prerequisites for the appliance's
stability
CAUTION
Create stability for the appliance prior to all
work on or with the appliance to prevent accidents or damage.
– The stability of the appliance is warrant-
ed when it is placed onto an even surface.
