4 Safety Precautions
English
￭ At temperatures below 0°C water can freeze on the
surface to be cleaned and in the components of the
pressure washer. The user may slip, fall and be seriously
injured. Property may be damaged.
► Do not use the pressure washer at temperatures below
0°C.
￭ Pulling on the high-pressure hose, water hose or
connecting cord can cause the pressure washer to move
and topple over. Property may be damaged.
► Do not pull on the high-pressure hose, water hose or
connecting cord.
￭ If the pressure washer is placed on a sloping, uneven or
soft surface it may move and topple over. Property may be
damaged.
► Place the pressure washer on a horizontal, flat, hard
surface.
￭ If working at a height, the pressure washer or the spray
attachment may fall to the ground. This can result in
serious injuries and damage to property.
► Use a lift bucket or secure scaffolding.
► Do not place the pressure washer in a lift bucket or on
scaffolding.
► If the high-pressure hose does not have sufficient
reach: Extend the high-pressure hose by connecting a
high-pressure hose extension.
► Secure the spray attachment so that it cannot fall.
￭ The water jet may detach asbestos fibers from surfaces.
Asbestos fibers may spread through the air after drying
and be breathed in. Breathing in asbestos fibers can be
harmful to health.
► Do not clean surfaces containing asbestos.
￭ The water jet may remove oil from vehicles or machinery.
The oily water may enter the soil, the water system or the
drains. That would create an environmental hazard.
► Vehicles or machinery should only be cleaned at places
where there is an oil trap in the water drain.
￭ In combination with leaded paint the water jet can form
leaded aerosols and leaded water. Leaded aerosols and
leaded water may enter the soil, the water system or the
drains. Breathing in aerosols can be harmful to health and
trigger allergic reactions. That would create an
environmental hazard.
► Do not clean surfaces that are painted or lacquered with
leaded paint.
￭ The water jet can damage sensitive surfaces. Property
may be damaged.
► Do not clean sensitive surfaces with the rotary nozzle.
► Sensitive surfaces made of rubber, fabric, wood and
similar materials should be cleaned at a lower operating
pressure and from a greater distance.
￭ If while in use the rotary nozzle is immersed in dirty water
and then operated, the rotary nozzle may be damaged.
► Do not use the rotary nozzle with dirty water.
► If cleaning a container: Empty the container and allow
the water to flow away while cleaning it.

pressure may escape uncontrolled into the surrounding
area. This can result in serious injuries and damage to
property.
► Do not direct the water jet at the high-pressure hose.
► Route the high-pressure hose so that it is not under
tension or tangled.
► Route the high-pressure hose so that it will not be
damaged, kinked or crushed, or chafed.
► Protect the high-pressure hose from heat, oil and
chemicals.
￭ An incorrectly routed water hose may suffer damage and
people may trip over it. People may be injured and the
water hose may be damaged.
► Do not direct the water jet at the water hose.
► Route and mark the water hose so that people will not
trip over it.
► Route the water hose so that it is not under tension or
tangled.
► Route the water hose so that it will not be damaged,
kinked or crushed, or chafed.
► Protect the water hose from heat, oil and chemicals.
￭ The strong water jet produces reactive forces. The
reactive forces occurring may cause the user to lose
control of the spray attachment. The user may be
seriously injured and property may be damaged.
► Hold the spray gun firmly with both hands.
► Always use the pressure washer as described in this
Instruction Manual.

4.8 Detergents
WARNING
￭ If detergents come into contact with the skin or eyes, the
skin or eyes may be irritated.
► Observe the Instruction Manual for the detergent.
► Avoid contact with detergents.
► If skin contact occurs: Wash affected areas of skin with
plenty of water and soap.
► If eye contact occurs: Flush eyes with plenty of water for
at least 15minutes and consult a doctor.
￭ Using the wrong detergent can damage the pressure
washer or the surface of the object being cleaned and be
harmful to the environment.
► Use detergents that are approved for use with high-
pressure cleaners.
► Observe the Instruction Manual for the detergent.
► If in any doubt: Contact a STIHL servicing dealer.
4.9 Connecting the water supply
WARNING
￭ Releasing the spray gun trigger causes a kickback in the
water hose. A kickback can force dirty water back into the
drinking water main. This can pollute the drinking water.
► Do not connect the pressure washer directly
to the drinking water main.
► A backflow preventer complying with the applicable
regulations should be fitted in-line when connecting a
pressure washer to the drinking water main. If drinking
water has passed through the backflow preventer, it can
no longer be regarded as drinking water.
￭ Dirty or sandy water can damage components of the
pressure washer.
► Use clean water.
► If using dirty or sandy water: Use a water filter with the
pressure washer.
￭ If the water supply to the pressure washer is insufficient,
components of the pressure washer may be damaged.
► Turn tap fully on.
► Make sure there is a sufficient supply of water to the
pressure washer, @ 19.1.
4.10 Connecting to the power supply
Contact with live parts can occur for the following reasons:
– The connecting cord or the extension cord is damaged.
– The mains plug of the connecting cord or extension cord
is damaged.
– The socket is not properly installed.
DANGER
￭ Contact with live parts can result in electric shock. The
user may be seriously injured or killed.
► Make sure that the connecting cord, extension cord and
their plugs are undamaged.
If the connecting cord or the extension cord is
damaged:
► Do not touch the damaged areas.
► Unplug the mains plug from the socket.
► Make sure your hands are dry before touching the
connecting cord, extension cord or plugs.
► Plug the mains plug of the connecting cord or extension
cord into a properly installed, shockproof socket with the
correct fuse rating.
► Connect the pressure washer via a residual current
circuit breaker (30mA, 30ms).

4 Safety Precautions
￭ A damaged or unsuitable extension cord can result in
electric shock. People can be seriously injured or killed.
► Use an extension cord with the correct cross-section,
@ 19.2.
► Only use an extension cord which is splash-proof and
approved for outdoor use.
► Use an extension cord that has the same characteristics
as the connecting cord of the pressure washer, @ 19.2
WARNING
￭ During operation, an incorrect mains voltage or incorrect
mains frequency may result in an overvoltage in the
pressure washer. The pressure washer may be damaged.
► Make sure that the mains voltage and the mains
frequency of the power supply match the data on the
rating plate of the pressure washer.
￭ Electrical components may be overloaded during
operation if more than one electric power tool is connected
to a multiple socket. The electrical components may heat
up and a fire may break out. This can result in serious
injuries or death and damage to property.
► Only ever connect one pressure washer to one socket.
► Do not connect pressure washers to multiple sockets.
￭ An incorrectly routed connecting cord or extension cord
may be damaged and people may trip over it. People may
be injured and the connecting cord or extension cord may
be damaged.
► Route the connecting cord and extension cord so that
the water jet cannot touch them.
► Route and mark the connecting cord and extension cord
so that people will not trip over them.
► Route the connecting cord and extension cord so that
they are not under tension or tangled.
► Route the connecting cord and extension cord so that
they will not be damaged, kinked or crushed and will not
be chafed.
► Protect the connecting cord and extension cord from
heat, oil and chemicals.
► Lay the connecting cord and extension cord on a dry
surface.
￭ The extension cord warms up in operation. If that heat
cannot escape, it may cause a fire.
► If using a cable reel: Completely unroll the cable reel.
4.11 Transport
WARNING
￭ The pressure washer may topple over or move during
transport. This can result in injuries and damage to
property.
