The pressure washer should always be used in an upright position
ವ
Be aware that the lance will produce a recoil force when the pressure
washer is operated. Hold the lance securely
ವ
Never direct the water jet at people or animals. The water jet is
extremely powerful, and can cause serious injury. Do not direct the
water jet towards the pump body, or other electrical equipment
ವ
Handle the lance with care, do not allow the nozzle to strike the
ground. Do not allow the hoses to be twisted, crushed, or strained
ವ
Do not attempt to pressure wash any material suspected to contain
asbestos
ವ
When using detergents with pressure washers or cleaning oil and
grease from surfaces, take responsibility for any contaminated waste
water you may produce. Always consider the environment and the risk
of polluting streams and other watercourses, plus the possibility of
contaminants accumulating in the ground and soil. Try to use
detergents sparingly - they are not always necessary. Contact your
local environmental agency for how to deal with such waste water
legally and responsibly
