2) Electrical Safety
a ) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric
shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
b )
Do not expose pressure washers to rain or wet
conditions.
Water entering a pressure washer will
increase the risk of electric shock.
3) Personal Safety
a )
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a pressure
washer. Do not use a pressure washer while
you are tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention
while operating pressure washers may result in serious
personal injury.
b )
Use personal protective equipment. Always wear
eye protection. Protective equipment such as a dust
mask, non‑skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
c )
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch
is in the off‑position before connecting to the
battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying pressure washers with your finger on the
switch or energizing pressure washers that have the
switch on invites accidents.
d )
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better control of the
pressure washer in unexpected situations.
e ) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewelry or long
hair can be caught in moving parts.
f ) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of
tools allow you to become complacent and ignore
tool safety principles. A careless action can cause
severe injury within a fraction of a second.
4) Pressure Washer Use and Care
a ) Do not use the pressure washer if the switch does
not turn it on and off. Any pressure washer that
cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and
must be repaired.
b )
Remove the battery pack from the pressure
washer before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing pressure
washers.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the
risk of starting the pressure washer accidentally.
c )
Store idle pressure washers out of the reach of
children and do not allow persons unfamiliar
with the pressure washer or these instructions to
operate the pressure washer. Pressure washers are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
d )
Maintain pressure washers and accessories.
Check for misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any other condition
that may affect the pressure washer’s operation.
If damaged, have the pressure washer repaired
