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-
sonous. Do not use acetone, undiluted acids and solvents as they are aggres­sive towards the materials from which the appliance is made.
Warning
Check the high-pressure hose for dam-
age before every use. Please arrange for the immediate exchange of a dam­aged high-pressure hose.
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.
Do not use the appliance when there
are other persons around unless they are also wearing safety gear.
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
Note
The appliance must not be operated by
children or persons who have not been instructed accordingly.
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.
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.
Wear protective clothing and safety
goggles to protect against back spray containing water or dirt.
Never leave the appliance unattended
when it is in operation.
