,

Before using the high-pressure 
washer, be sure to also read the 
enclosed operating instructions 
and keep them within reach at 
all times.

The high-pressure washer 
may only be used by persons 
instructed in its use and 
who have been expressly 
authorised to do so.

General

Use of the high-pressure 
washer is subject to the 
applicable local regulations.

In addition to the operating 
instructions and the binding 
accident prevention regulations 
in the country of use, the 
generally recognised rules 
for safe working must also be 
observed.
Any method of use endangering 
the safety of persons or 
equipment is forbidden.

Before use

Before use, check that the high-
pressure cleaner is in a safe 
and proper condition. 

Operate the pressure washer 
only in an upright position!

Important notes:
Do not connect the pressure 
washer directly to the public 
drinking water mains (observe 
DIN 1988 and EN 1717).
A connection is permitted, 
however:
•  briefl y to a pipe interrupter 

with moving section

•  with a free outlet

Water may also be drawn from 
an open container or from 
a well or surface water not 
intended for the drinking water 
supply. Please use suction set 
for this. Ensure that neither dirty 
water nor liquids containing 
solvents are sucked in.

Please observe the regulations 
and provisions applicable in 
your country. Before putting 
the high-pressure washer into 
service, carry out a visual check 
of all the major components.

High-pressure jets can be 
dangerous if misused. The 
jet must not be directed at 
persons, animals, live electrical 
equipment or the pressure 
washer itself.

During operation of the washer, 
recoil forces are produced at 
the spray lance and, when 
the lance is held at an angle, 
a torque is also created. The 
lance must therefore be held 
fi rmly in both hands.

Risk of injury!

Do not direct the jet towards 
yourself or towards other 
persons in order to clean 
clothes or footwear.

Do not use the washer when 
other people without protective
