used may cause irritation to the skin and mucous
membranes.

direct the water jet directly towards the unit or
any other electrical equipment (risking short-circuits
and other damage) .
Children or adolescents must be allowed to use the unit
only under supervision.
Safety glasses are recommended while using the unit.
