PRESSURE WASHER SAFETY RULES

WARNING: To avoid mistakes and serious injury, do not plug in your tool until you have read and
understood the following safety rules. Learn the tool’s applications, limitations, and possible hazards to
maximize your safety and the lifetime of the tool.

BEFORE OPERATION

1. KNOW YOUR TOOL. Be thoroughly familiar with the controls of your pressure washer. Know how to stop
the water pressure quickly by releasing the trigger, shutting off the unit and turning off the water supply.

2. USE SUITABLE COMPONENTS. This system is capable of producing pressure up to 2000 PSI/13,800 kPa.
To avoid rupture and injury, do not operate this pump with components rated less than 2000 PSI/13,800 kPa
working pressure (including but not limited to spray guns, hoses and hose connections).

3. OPERATING ENVIRONMENT. Keep bystanders, children and animals at a safe distance away from the
work area. Do not operate near flammable materials or explosive vapors.

4. WEAR SAFETY EQUIPMENT. For protection against injury, wear safety goggles and ear protection. Wear
rubber-soled shoes during operation to reduce the risk of electric shock.

5. PRELIMINARY UNIT INSPECTION. Thoroughly inspect the unit and accessories prior to operation. Make
sure all the parts are secured and installed correctly. Do not use plugs or cords that show signs of damage such as
broken or cracked insulation. Have damaged items repaired or replaced as necessary. Always perform a test run
the first time you use the tool or after replacing parts to ensure that the unit is functioning properly.

6. MALFUNCTIONING SWITCH. Do not use the tool if the switch does not turn on and off. Any electrical ap­pliance that cannot be controlled by the switch is not safe to use and must be repaired.

7. DETERGENT SAFETY. Always be aware of the dangers associated with the detergents and chemicals that
you are working with. Follow the warnings and instructions that come with your detergent for proper use.

WATER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS

1. COLD WATER ONLY. Use the pressure washer with cold water only. The water supply temperature must
not exceed 104°F/40°C.

2. POTABLE WATER RESTRICTIONS. When connecting the water inlet to the water supply mains, local
regulations of your water company must be observed. In some areas the unit MUST NOT be connected directly
to the public drinking water supply. This is to ensure that there is no feedback of chemicals into the water supply.
If connection is made to a potable water system, the system MUST be protected against backflow. Direct connec­tion via a receiver tank or backflow preventer, for example, is permitted.

3. AVOIDING DIRT. Always prevent debris from being drawn into the unit by using a clean water source. Dirt
in the feed water will damage the unit. Your washer is pre-installed with a water filter inside the water inlet. Inspect
and clean the filter regularly. Never use the pressure washer to draw in water contaminated with solvents, e.g. paint
thinners, gasoline, oil, etc.

4. WATER FLOW. The garden hose must be at least 5/8 inch in diameter. Flow rate of water supply must not
fall below 2 GPM (gallons per minute).

PRESSURE WASHER SAFETY RULES

OPERATING THE PRESSURE WASHER

1. STAY ALERT. Watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating your tool. Do not use the
tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention during
operation may result in serious bodily injury.

2. INJECTION HAZARD. The high pressure stream of water can cut through skin and cause serious injury. Keep
clear of the nozzle. Never direct the discharge stream at any bystanders, animals or your foot.

3. RISK OF EXPLOSION. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust. Do not spray flammable liquids.

4. RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. Do not spray electrical apparatus and wiring. Do not spray the power source or
the outlet. Don’t pressure wash the pressure washer.

5. TOOL PURPOSE. Learn your tool’s applications and limitations as well as the specific potential hazards related
to this machine. Only use the pressure washer for its intended purposes. Otherwise, you may cause mechanical
defects, serious damage or personal injury.

6. DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the unit
in unexpected situations and will also prevent you from falling down and embarrassing yourself in front of your
cool neighbor Greg. When stepping backwards, be cautious about any obstacles beneath your feet or behind you
in order to avoid falling.

7. AVOID ACCIDENTAL START-UPS. Make sure the power switch is in the OFF position before connecting
the plug to a power source or carrying the tool. Engage the gun safety lock whenever the machine is not in use.

8. GUN KICKS BACK. Hold the gun firmly with both hands. Kickback from operation can cause the user to fall
down. Always operate the pressure washer on a level and non-elevated surface to prevent the risk of falling.

9. SHUT DOWN THE UNIT. Never leave your unit running while unattended. Unplug the unit before leaving
for extended periods of time.

10. MAINTENANCE. Before cleaning, changing accessories, or performing any maintenance, shut off and
disconnect the unit from the electrical supply, then relieve pressure in the washer by squeezing the trigger to
empty the washer of any residual water.

11. STORAGE. Store your machine and accessories indoors. Never store the pressure washer outdoors. If the
pump freezes, permanent damage may result. Always keep tools clean and in good working order.

12. REPLACEMENT PARTS. Use only identical replacement parts. Use of any other part can cause personal
injury and damage to the tool. Only have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person.

Safety is a combination of common sense, staying alert and knowing how your tool works.
