Danger
The appliance may not be used in areas
where a risk of explosion is present.
If the appliance is used in hazardous ar-
eas (e.g. filling stations) the corre-
sponding safety provisions must be
observed.
Ensure that there is adequate ventila-
tion or provision for diverting the ex-
haust gas while operating the appliance
in closed rooms (risk of poisoning).
The appliance must not be used if the
power cord or important parts of the ap-
pliance, e.g. safety devices, high-pres-
sure hoses, spray guns, are damaged.
Check the high-pressure hose for dam-
age before every use. Please arrange
for the immediate replacement of a
damaged high-pressure hose.
High-pressure jets can be
dangerous if improperly
used. The jet must not be
directed at persons, ani-
mals, live electrical equipment or at the
appliance itself.
The high-pressure jet must not be di-
rected at other persons or directed by
the user at him/herself to clean clothing
or footwear.
Never use the appliance to clean ob-
jects containing hazardous substances
(e.g. asbestos).
Vehicle tyres or tyre valves are suscep-
tible to damage from the high-pressure
jet and may burst. The first indication of
this is a discolouration of the tyre. Dam-
aged vehicle tyres/tyre valves are highly
dangerous. Ensure that a distance of at
least 30 cm is observed when cleaning
with the jet!
Never draw in fluids containing solvents
or undiluted acids and solvents! This in-
cludes petrol, paint thinner and heating
oil. The spray mist thus generated is
highly inflammable, explosive and poi-
sonous. Do not use acetone, undiluted
acids and solvents as they are damag-
ing to the materials from which the ap-
pliance is made.
Only use the fuels specified in the Oper-
ating Manual. Risk of explosion due to
the use of inappropriate fuels.
Do not use high pressure cleaners
when there has been an oil spill; move
the appliance to another spot and avoid
any sort of spark formation.
Do not store, spill or use fuel in the vicin-
ity of open flames or appliances such as
ovens, boilers, water heaters, etc. that
have an ignition flame or can generate
sparks.
Do not smoke or use open fire while fill-
ing and storing fuels.
Do not overfill the tank. There must not
be any fuel in the filling nozzle.
Fuels may only be filled in a well-venti-
lated room and while the engine is
switched off. Petrol is highly prone to
fire hazards and is explosive under
some circumstances. After filling, make
sure that the lid on the fuel tank is
closed properly.
Avoid repeated or extended contact be-
tween fuel and your skin as well as
breathing the vapors.
Keep even mildly inflammable objects
and materials away from the silencer (at
least 2 m).
Do not start the engine without the si-
lencer; check, clean and replace, if re-
quired, the silencer at regular intervals.
Do not use the engine in forest, bushes
or grassy areas without fitting a spark
receiver at the exhaust.
Except for setting jobs, do not run the
engine when the air filter is removed or
there is no cover over the suction sup-
port.
Do not make any adjustments to the
regulator springs, regulator bars or oth-
er parts that can bring forth an increase
in the engine speed.
