Relief valve with pressure switch
When the lever on the handgun is released
the pressure switch switches off the pump
and the high-pressure jet ceases. When
the lever is pulled the pressure switch swit-
ches on the pump again.
Moreover, the relief valve prevents the per-
missible operating pressure from being ex-
ceeded.
Safety ratchet
The safety ratchet on the handgun prevents
inadvertent switching on of the unit.
