Electrical safety
• Always check if your mains voltage
corresponds with the value on the type plate.
• When replacing old cables or plugs:
• Throw away old cables or plugs immediately
as soon as new ones have replaced these. It is
dangerous to put the plug of a loose cable into
the socket outlet.
• When using extension cables:
• Only use an approved extension cable that is
suitable for the machine’s power. The cores
must have a diameter of at least 1.5 mm
2
.
When the extension cable is on a reel, unroll
the cable in its entirety.
• All electrical connections e.g. extension
cable, must be of an approved waterproof
type for outdoor use and marked accordingly.
Extension cables must be threecore, one of
which is EARTH.
Immediately switch off the machine when:
• Interruption of the mains plug, mains lead or
mains lead damage.
• Defect switch
• Smoke or stench of scorched isolation
Specific safety rules
The USE and MAINTENANCE manual constitutes
an essential part of the cleaner equipment and
should be kept in a safe place for future reference.
If you sell the cleaner, the manual should be
handed on to the new owner.
• Before starting the cleaner, make sure that
it is receiving water correctly. Operating the
cleaner without water could damage the seals.
• Do not disconnect the plug by pulling on the
electrical cable.
• If you are too far from the object you wish
to clean, do not move the cleaner nearer by
pulling on the high pressure hose; use the
handle provided.
• In versions not equipped with TSS device,
do not operate the cleaner for more than 1-2
minutes with the gun closed as this could
damage the seals.
• Protect the cleaner from freezing during the
winter.
• Do not obstruct the ventilation grilles during
operation.
• The cross-section of any extension cables
used must be proportional to their length, i.e.
the longer the extension cable, the greater the
cross-section; cables with a protection level of
“IPX5” must be used.
• Position the cleaner AS NEAR POSSIBLE to
the water supply.
• The packaging is easily recyclable, and must be
disposed of in compliance with the regulations
in force in the country of installation.
• Use the cleaner only with accessories
and replacement parts authorized by the
manufacturer. The use of original accessories
and replacement parts will ensure safe,
trouble-free operation.
• The cleaner must be used standing on a
secure, stable surface.
• Avoid unintentional firing of the trigger. Do not
carry the lance/ trigger assembly with your
hand over the trigger. Always use the trigger
lock mechanism.
• Ensure that the safety lock on the trigger
is used, when you have stopped using
the pressure washer to prevent accidental
operation. (fig 5)

• The electrical supply connection shall be made
by a qualified person and comply with IEC
60364-1. The electric supply to this machine
should include either a residual current device
that will interrupt the supply if the leakage
current to earth exceeds 30 mA for 30 ms or a
device that will prove the earth circuit.
• The machine is intended to be used at
a temperature above o degree. (Only for
machine with power cord of H05VV-F).
• The operating method to be followed in the
event of accident (e.g. contact with detergents:
rinse with an abundance of clean water) or
