manufacturer's safety data sheets!
Detergents should always be used in the proportions specified by the manufacturer.
Before starting work
Do not connect the high­pressure cleaner directly to the drinking water main.
Only connect the high-pressure cleaner to the drinking water main in conjunction with a backflow preventer – see "Special accessories".
Warning!
If drinking water has passed
through the backflow preventer, it can no longer be regarded as
drinking water. Do not use the machine with dirty water. If there is a risk that dirty water will occur
(e. g., flowing sand), an appropriate water filter must be used.
Inspecting the high-pressure cleaner
Warning!
The high-pressure cleaner should
only be used if it is in full working
order – risk of accident! It must be possible to move the
switch to the 0 position easily
The switch must be in the 0 position Inspect the high-pressure hose,
spray attachment and safety
mechanisms for damage – High-pressure hose and spray
attachment in good condition
(clean, moving easily) and correctly
assembled – For good control of the machine, the
handles should be clean and dry
with no oil or dirt on them – Never attempt to modify the controls
or safety devices
Electrical connection
Warning!
Minimize the risk of electrical shock:
Voltage and frequency of the
machine (see rating plate) must match the voltage and frequency of the mains supply
Examine the power cord, power
plug and extension cord for damage. Damaged cords, couplings and plugs or power cords that do not comply with the regulations must not be used
Only connect the machine to a
correctly installed power socket
The insulation on the power cord
and any extension cord, the plug and the coupling must be fully intact
Warning!
Route the power cord and extension cord properly:
Observe the minimum cross-section
of the individual cords – see "Connecting the machine to the power supply"
Route and mark the power cord so
that it cannot become damaged and no one is endangered – danger of
stumbling!
The connector and coupling of the
extension cord must be waterproof or routed in such a way that they cannot come into contact with water – the connector and coupling of the extension cord must not lie in water
don't let the cord rub against edges
or pointed or sharp objects
don't squeeze the cord under doors
or windows

RE 108, RE 118, RE 128 PLUS
English
if cords become snarled – unplug
the power plug and unsnarl the cord
always unroll the power cord from
the cable drum completely to avoid risk of fire due to overheating
During work
Warning!
Never draw in fluids containing
solvents or undiluted acids and solvents (e. g., gasoline, heating oil, paint thinner or acetone). These substances damage the materials used in the machine. The spray is highly combustible, explosive and poisonous.
Never direct the high­pressure jet or water hose against the machine itself or against other electrical appliances and equipment – danger of
short-circuiting!
Never direct the high­pressure jet or water hose against electrical equipment, connections and power cords – dan-
ger of short-circuiting!
Never direct the high­pressure jet against your­self or other people, not even to clean clothing or shoes – risk of injury!
Ensure you always have a firm and safe footing.
Beware of slipping on ice, water, snow or uneven ground!
Keep the high-pressure cleaner as far away as possible from the object being cleaned.
The machine may only be operated in an upright position. Do not cover the machine and ensure adequate motor ventilation.
The plug must be discon­nected immediately if the cord is damaged – dan-
ger of electrocution!
Do not direct the high-pressure jet against animals.
Do not direct the high-pressure jet onto places you cannot see.
Children, animals and bystanders must remain at a distance.
Hazardous substances (e. g., asbestos or oil) must not be allowed to escape into the environment unchecked when working with the machine. The applicable environmental regulations must be observed without fail.
Surfaces of asbestos cement must never be cleaned with a high-pressure jet. Hazardous, breathable asbestos fibers may be released in addition to the dirt. The danger is greatest when the washed surface has dried.
Delicate parts made of rubber, fabric or similar materials must not be cleaned with a pencil jet, e. g., from the rotary nozzle. Maintain a sufficient distance between the high-pressure hose and the surface when cleaning to avoid any damage to the surface being cleaned.
The trigger on the spray gun must move easily and automatically return to its starting position when released.
Hold the spray attachment firmly with both hands in order safely to withstand the kickback force and additional torque produced when using spray attachments with angled spray lance.
Ensure that the power cord and the high­pressure hose are not damaged by being driven over, squashed or pulled; protect them against heat and oil.
Do not touch the power cord with the high-pressure jet.
If the machine is subjected to unusually high loads for which it was not designed (e.g., heavy impact or a fall), always check that it is in good condition before continuing work - refer also to the chapter "Before starting work". Also make certain that the safety mechanisms are working properly. Never continue using a machine that is not in perfect working order. Consult a servicing dealer if in doubt.
Before leaving the machine: Switch off the machine – unplug the power cord.
