Safety precautions
DANGER
•
Because a high pressure washer has high speed
rotation parts, uses flammable fuel, produces high
pressure water, and exhausts poisonous fumes,
some special precautions must be observed to
reduce the risk of accident and personal injury.
Careless or improper use may cause serious or even
fatal injury.
•
Rotating parts can entangle hair, hands, clothing, feet
and/or accessories. Traumatic amputation or severe
laceration can result.
•
Gasoline is an extremely flammable fuel. If spilled
and ignited by a spark or other ignition source, it can
cause fire and serious burn injury or property damage.
Use extreme caution when handling gasoline.
Combustible fuel vapor may escape from the fuel
system or container during fueling operations. Do not
smoke or bring any fire or flame near the fuel or the
machine.
•
Never point the spray nozzle at a person, an animal
or yourself. Keep clear of nozzle. Always wear proper
clothing and PPE(Personal Protective Equipments)
when operating or performing maintenance.
•
All electrical conductors and communications wires
can have electricity flow with high voltages. This
machine is not insulated against electrical current.
Never spay the water steam to wires, otherwise
serious injury or even death may result.
•
DO not direct high pressure stream at persons,
animals, electrical devices, or the machine itself. High
pressure jets can be dangerous if subject to misuse,
and result in high risk of injection or injury.
•
Do not operate this machine indoors or in
inadequately ventilated areas. DO not allow exhaust
fumes to enter a confined area through windows,
doors, vents or other openings. Engine exhaust
contains poisonous emissions and can cause serious
injury or death.
WARNING
•
Observe all applicable local safety regulations,
standards and ordinances.
•
Never spray flammable liquids or use pressure
washer in areas containing combustible dust, liquids,
or vapor.
•
To prevent accidental water spray, always place the
spray trigger in the locked position and engage the
trigger locking latch when not in use.
•
Running engines produce heat. Severe burns can
occur on contact. Combustible material can catch fire
on contact.
•
The noise emitted from this machine may be
restricted to certain times by national or local
regulations.
•
Use of pressure washers can create wet walking
surfaces. While using a pressure washer, forces from
the gun can cause you to loose footing and fall.
•
Minors should never be allowed to use this high
pressure washer. Do not allow other persons near the
high pressure washer when starting or operating.
Keep bystanders, especially children, and animals
out of the work area and keep a safe distance. Close
supervision of children is necessary to ensure that
they do not enter the work area or play with the
machine.
•
Never let your pressure washer run unattended.
When it is not in use (e.g., during a work break), shut
it off and make sure that unauthorized persons do not
use it.
•
The person who use this high pressure washer must
be in good physical condition and mental health, and
not under the influence of alcohol and drugs. Never
use this high pressure washer when you are fatigued,
sick, or upset. If you feel tired, take a break.
•
The components of this machine generate an
electromagnetic field during operation, which may
interfere with some pacemakers. To reduce the risk of
serious or fatal injury, persons with pacemakers
should consult with their physician and the
pacemaker manufacturer before operating this
machine. In the absence of such information,
CRAFTOP does not recommend the use of this
machine by anyone who has a pacemaker.
