Hazard levels
DANGER
Pointer to immediate danger,
which leads to severe injuries or
death.
몇 WARNING
Pointer to a possibly dangerous
situation, which can lead to severe injuries or death.
몇 CAUTION
Pointer to a possibly dangerous
situation, which can lead to minor injuries.
ATTENTION
Pointer to a possibly dangerous
situation, which can lead to
property damage.
Electric components
DANGER
Risk of electric shock.
Never touch the mains plug
and the socket with wet
hands.
Check the power cord with
mains plug for damage prior
to every use. Immediately
have damaged power cord
replaced by an authorised
customer service / electrician.
Do not operate an appliance if
the power cord is damaged.
All current-conducting parts
in the working area must be
protected against jet water.
The mains plug and the cou-
pling 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.
Make sure that the power
cord or extension cable is not
damaged by running over,
pinching, dragging or the like.
Protect the power cords from
heat, oil, and sharp edges.
Turn off the appliance and re-
move the mains plug prior to
any care and maintenance
works.
Repair work and work on the
electrical components may
only be performed by an authorised customer service.

몇 WARNING
The appliance may only be
connected to an electric supply that has been installed by
an electrician in accordance
with IEC 60364.
The appliance may only be
connected to alternating current. The voltage must correspond with the type plate of
the appliance.
For safety reasons, we rec-
ommend that you operate the
appliance only via a residual
current device (max. 30 mA).
An unsuitable electrical ex-
tension cable can be hazardous. Only use an electrical
extension cable which has
been approved and labelled
for this purpose and has an
adequate cable cross-section
outdoors: 1 - 10 m: 1.5 mm
10 - 30 m: 2.5 mm

;
Always fully unreel the exten-
sion cable from the cable
drum.
Safe handling
DANGER
The user must use the appli-
ance as intended. The person
must consider the local conditions and must pay attention
to other persons in the vicinity
when working with the appliance.
Check important compo-
nents, such as high-pressure
hose, hand spray gun and
safety installations, for damage prior to every operation.
Immediately replace damaged components. Do not operate appliance with damaged components.
High-pressure jets can be
dangerous if improperly used.
The jet may not be directed at
persons, animals, live electrical equipment or at the appliance itself.
The high-pressure jet must
not be directed at other persons or the user him-/herself
to clean clothing or footwear.
Vehicle tyres/tyre valves are
susceptible to damage from
the high-pressure jet and may
burst. The first indication for
this is a discolouration of the
tyre. Damaged vehicle tyres/
tyre valves are perilous. Keep
a minimum jet distance of
30 cm during cleaning!

몇 WARNING
Do not use the appliance
when there are other persons
around unless they are also
wearing protective clothing.
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.
Children must not play with
this appliance.
Supervise children to prevent
them from playing with the
appliance.
몇 CAUTION
Create stability for the appli-
ance prior to any work on or
with the appliance to prevent
accidents or damage.
The water jet that is emitted
from the high-pressure nozzle results in a repulsion power acting on the hand spray
gun. Make sure that you have
a firm footing and are also
holding the hand spray gun
and spray lance firmly.
Never leave the appliance
unattended as long as it is in
operation.
ATTENTION
In case of extended breaks,
switch the appliance off at the
main switch / appliance
switch or pull the mains plug.
Do not operate the appliance
at temperatures below 0 °C.
Working with detergent
몇 WARNING
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.
ing solvents or undiluted acids and solvents! This includes petrol, paint thinner
and heating oil. The spray
mist is highly inflammable,
explosive and poisonous. Do
not use acetone, undiluted
acids and solvents, as they
corrode the materials used on
the appliance.
Keep packaging films away
from children, there is a risk of
suffocation!
몇 WARNING
According to applicable regu-
lations, the appliance must
never be used on the drinking
water net without a system
separator. Ensure that the
connection of your building
water installation on which
the high-pressure cleaner is
operated is equipped with a
system separator pursuant to
EN 12729 Type BA.
Water that has flown through
a system separator is no
longer classified as drinking
water.
High-pressure hoses, fixtures
and couplings are important
for the safety of the appliance. Only use high-pressure
hoses, fixtures and couplings
recommended by the manufacturer.
When disconnecting the sup-
ply or high pressure hose, hot
water may leak from the connections after operation.
몇 CAUTION
Mind the weight of the appli-
ance when selecting the storage location and during transport (see technical data) to
prevent accidents or injuries.
Several hours of continuous
use of the appliance can lead
to numbness in the hands in
rare cases.
Wear gloves.
Keep hands warm.
Take breaks at regular inter-
vals.

Safety Devices
몇 CAUTION
Safety installations serve the
protection of the user and
may 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
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.
Symbols on the machine
The high pressure jet
must not be directed at
persons, animals, live
electrical equipment or at
the appliance itself.
Protect the appliance
against frost.
The appliance must not
be directly connected to
the public drinking water
network.
Personal protective
equipment
몇 CAUTION
Wear protective clothing and
safety goggles to protect
against splash back containing water or dirt.
During the use of high-pres-
sure cleaners aerosols can
develop. Inhaling aerosols
can cause health damage.
– Depending on the applica-
tion, completely shielded nozzles (e.g. surface cleaner)
that significantly reduce the
emission of aqueous aerosols can be used for highpressure cleaning.
– The use of such shielding is
not possible with all applications.
– If the use of a completely
shielded nozzle is not possible, a respirator of the category FFP 2 or the like should be
used, depending on the environment to be cleaned.
