CAUTION
• High pressure jets can be dangerous. Never direct the water jet
at persons, pets, live electrical equipment or the machine itself.
• Never try to clean clothes or footwear on yourself or other per-
sons.
• The operator and anyone in the immediate vicinity of the site of
cleaning should take action to protect themselves from being
struck by debris dislodged during operation.
• Wear goggles during operation.
• Do not cover the machine during operation.
• Never use the machine in an environment where there could be a
danger of explosion. If any doubt arises, please contact the local
authorities.
• It is not allowed to clean asbestos- containing surfaces with high
pressure.
• This high pressure washer must not be used at temperatures
below 0°C.
• Only use correct fuel as specified. Improper fuels can cause se-
vere hazard.
• During operation of the cleaner, recoil forces are produced at the
gunvalve and spray lance and, when the spray lance is held at an
angle, a torque is also created. The gunvalve and spray lance-
must therefore be held firmly in both hands.
• Check that cleaning will not result in dangerous substances (e.g.
asbestos, oil) being washed off the object to be cleaned and
harming the environment.
• Do not clean delicate parts made of rubber, fabric, etc. with the 0°
jet. Keep some distance between high pressure nozzle and sur-
face in order to prevent the surface from damage.
• Never operate the cleaner without water. Even brief shortages of
water result in severe damage to the pump seals.
• Do not use any unsafe work techniques.
• Do not tie the trigger handle open.
