 DANGER
Indication of an imminent threat of danger that will lead to severe
injuries or even death.
몇
WARNING
Indication of a potentially dangerous situation that may lead to se-
vere injuries or even death.
몇 CAUTION
Indication of a potentially dangerous situation that may lead to mi-
nor injuries.
ATTENTION
Indication of a potentially dangerous situation that may lead to
damage to property.
Protective gear
몇 CAUTION 
Wear suitable gloves when working with the de-
vice.

Wear hearing protection whenever a sound pressure level
over 80 dB(A) is specified in the operating instructions. See chap-
ter Technical data in the operating instructions.

Wear suitable
protective clothing and safety goggles to protect yourself from
water or dirt backsplash.

Aerosols can be formed when using
high-pressure cleaners. Inhaling aerosols can be harmful for your
health. Employers are obliged to perform a hazard assessment in
order to define, depending on the surface to be cleaned and the
environment, protective measures necessary to prevent inhala-
tion of aerosols. Respiratory protection masks of class FFP 2 or
above are suitable for protection against aqueous aerosols.
General safety instructions
 DANGER 
Risk of asphyxiation. Keep packaging film out of
the reach of children.
몇 WARNING 
Only use the device for its proper use. Take into
account the local conditions and beware of third parties, in par-
ticular children, when working with the device.

The device is
not intended for use by persons with restricted physical, sensory
or mental abilities or those lacking in experience and / or lacking
in knowledge.

Only people who have been instructed on how
to use the device, or have proven their ability to operate it, and
have been explicitly instructed to use it, must use the device.

Children must be supervised to prevent them from playing with
the appliance.

Children and minors must not use the device.
몇 CAUTION 
Safety devices are provided for your own protec-
tion. Never modify or bypass safety devices.
Water connection
몇 WARNING 
The device must not be operated if the high-
pressure hose is damaged. Replace a damaged high-pressure
hose at once. Only those hoses and connections recommended
by the manufacturer may be used.
ATTENTION 
Observe the regulations at your water distribution
company. The device may only be connected to the public water
supply via a suitable backflow preventer.
Note 
The screw connections of all connection hoses must be
leak-tight.
Operation

DANGER 
When using the device in hazard zones (e.g. ser-
vice stations), adhere to the respective safety regulations.

Op-
eration in explosive atmospheres is prohibited.

Never suction
solvents, liquids containing solvents or undiluted acids. This in-
cludes e.g. petrol, paint thinner or heating oil. The spray mist is
highly flammable, explosive and poisonous.

Damaged
wheels / tyre valves are extremely dangerous. Damaged
wheels / tyre valves can be damaged by the high-pressure jet
and explode. The first sign of this is discolouration of the tyres.
Keep a spray distance of at least 30 cm when cleaning the
wheels / tyre valves.
몇 WARNING 
Do not use the device if people without the
proper protective clothing are in its reach.

With short spray
lances, your hand may come into contact with the high-pressure
jet. Never use a spotlight nozzle or rotary nozzle with steel tubes
that are shorter than 75 cm.

A recoil force will arise due to the
water stream ejecting from the spray lance. An angular spray
lance produces a force that acts in upward direction. Make sure
you grip the gun and spray lance firmly.

When using angular
spray units, recoil forces and twisting forces may alter.

Do not
aim the high-pressure jet at yourself, e.g. to clean clothes or
shoes.

Do not direct the high-pressure jet at persons, animals,
live electrical equipment or at the device itself.

Do not spray
any objects which contain harmful substances (e.g. asbestos).

Check the device and the accessories, such as the high-pressure
hose, high-pressure gun and safety devices, to make sure they
are in proper safe and reliable condition before each operation.
Do not use the device if it is damaged. Replace damaged com-
ponents immediately.

Only use high-pressure hoses, control
panels and couplings specified by the manufacturer.
몇 CAUTION 
Never leave the device unsupervised while it is
in operation.

Never open the cover while the motor is running.
l
Never clamp the lever of the high-pressure gun during opera-
tion.

Allow the hoses to cool down after hot water operation or
operate the device briefly using cold water operation.

The de-
vice must be placed on an even, firm subsurface.

Before
cleaning, carry out a risk assessment of the surface to be cleaned
to determine any health and safety protection requirements. The
necessary protective measures must be taken accordingly.
ATTENTION 
Do not operate the device at temperatures below
0 °C.

Only clean the motor at washing stations with an oil sep-
arator.
Operation with detergent
몇 CAUTION 
Keep the detergent out of the reach of children.
l
When using detergents, observe the safety data sheet of the
detergent manufacturer, in particular instructions on protective
gear.

Only use the detergents supplied or specified by the man-
ufacturer. The use of other detergents or chemicals can impair
the safety of the device.

Should detergents come into contact
with eyes, rinse these out immediately and thoroughly using wa-
ter and seek medical attention immediately. The same applies if
detergents are swallowed.
Note 
The device may not be used for spreading pesticides.
Device with a hand-arm vibration value > 2.5 m/s² (see
chapter
Technical Data
in the operating instructions)
몇 CAUTION
Using the device for longer periods can cause poor circulation in
the hands due to vibrations. A general period of use cannot be
set, because this depends on several influencing factors:

Personal tendency to suffer from poor circulation (frequently
cold fingers, tingling sensation in the fingers)

Low ambient temperature. Wear warm gloves to protect your
hands.

Holding the device too tightly hindering blood circulation.

Continuous operation is more harmful than operation inter-
rupted by work breaks.
You should see a doctor if using the device regularly and for
lengthy periods of time, and in the event of repeated occurrences
of symptoms such as tingling in the fingers or cold fingers.
Hot water and petrol driven devices, devices with a
combustion engine
 DANGER 
Explosion hazard due to unsuitable fuel. Only fill
the fuel specified in the operating instructions.
몇 WARNING 
Exhaust gases are toxic. Never breathe in the
exhaust gases. Ensure rooms where the device is operated are
sufficiently ventilated and that exhaust gases can be conducted
away.

During tanking, make sure that no fuel gets on hot surfac-
es.
몇
CAUTION 
Risk of burns. Never bend down over the ex-
haust gas opening and never reach inside it. Do not touch the
heating boiler while the burner is in operation.

Never close off
exhaust gas openings.

Make sure that no exhaust gases are
emitted close to air vents.

Observe the safety instructions for
petrol-driven devices in the operating instructions.
