IMPORTANT SAFETY IN-
STRUCTIONS
몇 WARNING
When using this product basic precautions should always be followed, including the following:
1 Read all the instructions before us-
ing the product.
2 High pressure jets can be danger-
ous if misused. The jet must not be
directed at persons, animals, electrical devices, or the unit itself.
3 To reduce the risk of injury, close
supervision is necessary when a
product is used near children.
4 Know how to stop the product and
bleed pressures quickly. Be thoroughly familiar with the controls.
5 Stay alert – watch what you are do-
ing.
6 Wear safety goggles.

or any flammable material in this
product. These products can cause
physical injuries to the operator and
irreversible damage to the ma-
chine.
8 Do not operate the product when fa-
tigued or under the influence of al-
cohol or drugs.
9 Do not overreach or stand on unsta-
ble support. Keep good footing and
balance at all times.
10 To reduce the risk of electrocution,
keep all connections dry and off the
ground. Do not touch plug with wet
hands.
11 The Trigger Gun Safety Lock pre-
vents the trigger from accidentally
being engaged. This safety feature
DOES NOT lock trigger in the ON
position.
12 Keep operating area clear of all per-
sons.
13 Follow the maintenance instruc-
tions specified in the manual.
14 This product is provided with a
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter
built into the power cord plug. If replacement of the plug or cord is
needed, use only identical replacement parts.
15
Risk of Injection or Injury – Do Not Direct Discharge Stream At Persons.
16 Do not use extension cord with this
product.
몇 Warning
To reduce the risk of electrocution,
keep all connections dry and off the
ground. Do not touch plug with wet
hands.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This product must be grounded. If it
should malfunction or breakdown,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce
the risk of electric shock. This product
is equipped with a cord having an
equipment-grounding conductor and a
grounding plug. The plug must be
plugged into an appropriate outlet that
is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
DANGER
Improper connection of the equipmentgrounding conductor can result in a
risk of electrocution. Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if
you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify
the plug provided with the product - if it
will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Do not use any type of adapter with this
product.

GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT IN-
TERRUPTER PROTECTION
This Product is supplied with a Ground
Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) built
into the power cord plug. This device
provides additional protection from the
risk of electric shock. If power is interrupted in the line, the GFCI will automatically re-close the circuit to the load
after power is restored. Depending on
the GFCI model, it may be necessary
to manually operate the reset button to
restore power to the GFCI load circuit.
If the replacement of the plug or cord is
needed use identical replacement
parts.
WATER SUPPLY
(Cold Water Only)
몇 CAUTION
When connecting the water inlet to the
water supply mains, local regulations
of your water company must be observed. In some areas the unit must
not be connected directly to the public
drinking water supply. This is to ensure
that there is no feedback of chemicals
into the water supply. Direct connection via a receiver tank or backflow preventer, for example, is permitted.
Dirt in the feed water will damage the
unit. To avoid this risk, we recommend
fitting a water filter.
– Never use the pressure washer to
draw in water contaminated with
solvents, e.g. paint thinners, gaso-
line, oil, etc.
– Always prevent debris from being
drawn into the unit by using a clean
water source. Use additional water
filter.
Please read and comply with
these original instructions
prior to the initial operation of your appliance and store them for later use or
subsequent owners.
