IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:
Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow
all instructions listed below may result in electric shock,
fire and/or carbon monoxide poisoning which will cause
death or serious personal injury.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
Know your tool. Read the operator’s manual carefully.
Learn the machine’s applications and limitations as well
as the specific potential hazards related to this tool.
Keep guards in place and in working order. Never oper-
ate the tool with any guard or cover removed. Make sure
all guards are operating properly before each use.
Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Form habit of
checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are
removed from tool before turning it on.
To reduce the risk of injury, keep children and visitors
away. All visitors should wear safety glasses and be kept
a safe distance from work area.
Keep the area of operation clear of all persons,
particularly small children, and pets.
Do not operate the engine in a confined space where
dangerous carbon monoxide fumes can collect.
Carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless, and extremely
dangerous gas, can cause unconsciousness or death.
Use right tool. Don’t force tool or attachment to do a
job it was not designed for. Don’t use it for a purpose not
intended.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves,
neckties, or jewelry. They can get caught and draw you
into moving parts. Rubber gloves and nonskid footwear
are recommended when working outdoors. Also wear
protective hair covering to contain long hair.
Do not operate the equipment while barefoot or when
wearing sandals or similar lightweight footwear. Wear
protective footwear that will protect your feet and improve
your footing on slippery surfaces.
Exercise caution to avoid slipping or falling.
Always wear safety glasses with side shields. Everyday
eyeglasses have only impact-resistant lenses; they are
NOT safety glasses.
Don’t overreach or stand on unstable support. Keep
proper footing and balance at all times.
Use only recommended accessories. The use of
improper accessories may cause risk of injury.
Follow the maintenance instructions specified in this
manual.
This equipment shall not be used at night or under
bad lighting conditions.
Check damaged parts. Before further use of the
guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully
checked to determine that it will operate properly and
perform its intended function. Check for alignment of
moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts,
mounting, and any other conditions that may affect its
operation. A guard or other part that is damaged must
be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized service
center to avoid risk of personal injury.
Never leave tool running unattended. Turn power off.
Don’t leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.
Keep the engine free of grass, leaves, or grease to
reduce the chance of a fire hazard.
Keep the exhaust pipe free of foreign objects.
Follow manufacturer’s recommendations for safe
loading, unloading, transport, and storage of
machine.
Be thoroughly familiar with controls. Know how to stop
the product and bleed pressure quickly.
Keep tool dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.
Always use a clean cloth when cleaning. Never use
brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products, or any
solvents to clean tool.
Stay alert and exercise control. Watch what you are
doing and use common sense. Do not operate tool when
you are tired. Do not rush.
Do not operate the product while under the influence
of drugs, alcohol, or any medication.
Check the work area before each use. Remove all
objects such as rocks, broken glass, nails, wire, or string
which can be thrown or become entangled in the
machine.
Do not use tool if switch does not turn it off. Have
defective switches replaced by an authorized service
center.
Before cleaning, repairing, or inspecting, shut off the
engine and make certain all moving parts have stopped.
Disconnect the spark plug wire, and keep the wire away
from the plug to prevent accidental starting.
Avoid dangerous environment. Don’t use in damp or
wet locations or expose to rain. Keep work area well lit.
Never use in an explosive atmosphere. Normal sparking
of the motor could ignite fumes.
Do not operate while smoking or near an open
flame.
Do not operate around dry brush, twigs, cloth rags, or
other flammable materials.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
Never direct a water stream toward people or pets,
or any electrical device.
Before starting any cleaning operation, close doors
and windows. Clear the area to be cleaned of debris,
toys, outdoor furniture, or other objects that could create
a hazard.
Never pick up or carry a machine while the engine is
running.
Never start the machine if ice has formed in any part
of the equipment.
Do not use acids, alkalines, solvents, flammable
material, bleaches, or industrial grade solutions
in this product. These products can cause physical
injuries to the operator and irreversible damage to the
machine.
Always operate the machine on a level surface. If the
engine is on an incline, it could seize due to improper
lubrication (even at the maximum oil level).
WARNING: High pressure jets can be dangerous if
subject to misuse. The jet must not be directed at
persons, animals, electrical devices, or the machine
itself.
Never attempt to make any adjustments while the
engine (motor) is running (except where specifically
recommended by the manufacturer).
Protective covers must always cover rotating parts
when the engine is running.
Keep cooling air intake (recoil starter area) and muffler
side of the engine at least 1 meter away from buildings,
obstructions, and other combustible objects.
Keep the engine away from flammables and other
hazardous materials.
Keep away from hot parts. The muffler and other engine
parts become very hot; use caution.
Do not touch the spark plug and ignition cable when
starting and operating the engine.
Check fuel hoses and joints for looseness and fuel
leakage before each use.
Check bolts and nuts for looseness before each use.
A loose bolt or nut may cause serious engine problems.
Always refuel outdoors. Never refuel indoors or in a
poorly ventilated area.

be a tripping hazard.
Never store the machine with fuel in the fuel tank
inside a building where ignition sources are present,
such as hot water and space heaters, clothes dryers,
and the like.
If the fuel tank has to be drained, do this outdoors.
To reduce the risk of fire and burn injury, handle fuel
with care. It is highly flammable.
Do not smoke while handling fuel.
Add fuel before starting the engine. Never remove the
cap of the fuel tank or add fuel while the engine is running
or when the engine is hot.
Loosen fuel cap slowly to release pressure and to keep
fuel from escaping around the cap.
Replace all fuel tank and container caps securely.
Wipe spilled fuel from the unit. Move 10 meters away
from refueling site before starting engine.
If fuel is spilled, do not attempt to start the engine but
move the machine away from the area of spillage and
avoid creating any source of ignition until fuel vapors
have dissipated.
Never attempt to burn off spilled fuel under any
circumstances.
Before storing, allow the engine to cool.
Store fuel in a cool, well-ventilated area, safely away
from spark and/or flame-producing equipment.
Store fuel in containers specifically designed for this
purpose.
Empty fuel tank and restrain the unit from moving
before transporting in a vehicle.
When servicing use only identical replacement parts.
Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause
product damage.
This product is designed to operate using cold water
only.
Make sure minimum clearance of 1 meter is maintained
from combustible materials.
Never spray close to the surface to be cleaned as you
can damage the surface.
Do not use the spring clip for support of human weight,
playground equipment, or athletic or overhead lifting of a
load. Holds up to 2,2 kg.
