5. Use
1. Make sure that the garden hose used is undamaged and securely connected at both ends. Open the water
tap completely (or as much as needed to supply the pressure washer).
2. Pull the trigger on the pistol grip (9), releasing any possible air until water begins flowing. There is a safety
lock (9a) on the pistol grip that can lock the trigger. Push it in on the left-hand side to lock the trigger or the
right-hand side to unlock the trigger.
3. Connect the plug of the mains lead to a wall socket, press the trigger on the pistol grip (9), point the lance in
a safe direction and turn on the motor by pressing the power button (2).
4. Point the lance (1) at the surface to be cleaned and slowly move the nozzle over the surface. The
recommended distance between the nozzle and the surface to be cleaned is approx. 30 cm. Shorter
distances produce a higher degree of cleaning power on the surface to be cleaned. A longer distance
produces a gentler cleaning for sensitive surfaces.
Note!
Warning!
The temperature for the water supply must not exceed 40 ºC. Run the hose for a moment if the hose
has sat in the sun and become warm. The pressure washer must be operated in an upright/vertical position.
It must not be used in the lying/horizontal position.
Warning!
Make sure that no bystander or pet is within a 15 metre risk zone from the nozzle before
continuing assembly.
• If the water supply is from a tank or similar source without pressure, both the pump and the inlet hose must
be filled with water before the pump is started. The tank must be placed at higher level than the pressure
washer. If the water has contaminants or is cloudy an inlet filter must be fitted onto the hose inlet.
• Do not lay the power lead on roads, cycle paths, etc. where it might be damaged by passing traffic.
Warning!
Never use a shorter connecting hose that 5 metres (1/2" hose). The hose buffers possible
pressure surges in the water lines and protects the pressure washer and allows it work smoothly.
Warning!
When water jets out from the lance, the lance will recoil, so it is important to hold the lance firmly
with both hands while standing in a balanced position.
• Never point the water jet at people, animals, the pressure washer itself or any other electrical equipment.
• Use protective glasses since water and particles can spray back towards you when pointing the water jet
against an object.
Warning!
Turn off the pressure washer and pull the plug if you take a longer pause from the job. Do not leave
the machine on while unattended.
Turning off after use
1. Set the power switch to
0
.
2. Turn off the water tap.
3. Minimise the pressure on the remaining water in the pump and hose by pressing the trigger
for a few seconds or as long as it takes for all the water to run out of the nozzle.
4. Unplug the plug from the wall socket.
