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.

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
