In addition to the notes in the operating instructions, 
you also need to take into consideration the general 
safety regulations and accident prevention guide-
lines applicable by law.

Warnings and information notices attached to the 
device provide important information for hazard-free 
operation.

Hazard levels

Protective gear

CAUTION

 

● 

Wear suitable gloves when work-

ing with the device.

 

● 

Wear hearing protection whenev-

er a sound pressure level over 80 dB(A) is specified in 
the operating instructions. See chapter Technical data 
in the operating instructions. 

 

● 

Wear suitable protective 

clothing and safety goggles to protect yourself from wa-
ter or dirt backsplash.

 

● 

Aerosols can be formed when 

using high-pressure cleaners. Inhaling aerosols can be 
harmful for your health. Employers are obliged to per-
form a hazard assessment in order to define, depending 
on the surface to be cleaned and the environment, pro-
tective measures necessary to prevent inhalation of 
aerosols. Respiratory protection masks of class FFP 2 
or above are suitable for protection against aqueous 
aerosols. 

 

● 

Exhaust gases and soot may be produced 

during the use of hot water high-pressure cleaners with 
combustion engines. Inhaling exhaust gas and touching 
soot can cause damage to health. Necessary protective 
measures against inhalation of exhaust gases and con-
tact with soot shall be specified. Please use a suitable 
respiratory mask for protection from exhaust gas and 
suitable gloves for protection from soot.

General safety instructions

DANGER

 

● 

Risk of asphyxiation. Keep pack-

aging film out of the reach of children.

use. Take into account the local conditions and beware 
of third parties, in particular children, when working with 
the device. 

 

● 

The device is not intended for use by per-

sons with restricted physical, sensory or mental abilities 
or those lacking in experience and / or lacking in knowl-
edge. 

 

● 

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 and 

minors must not use the device.

CAUTION

 

● 

Safety devices are provided for 

your own protection. Never modify or bypass safety de-
vices.

Risk of electric shock

DANGER

 

● 

Only connect protection class I de-

vices to properly earthed power sources.

 

● 

The voltage 

indicated on the type plate must match the voltage of 
the power source.

 

● 

Take into account the minimum pro-

tection required for the socket, see chapter Technical 
data in the operating instructions.

 

● 

Only operate the 

device via a fault current protection switch (maximum 
30 mA).

 

● 

Never touch the mains plug and socket with 

wet hands.

 

● 

The mains plug and coupling of the exten-

sion cable must be water tight and may not be placed in 
water. The coupling may not be on the floor. Use cable 
drums to ensure that the sockets are at least 60 mm 
above the floor.

 

● 

All live parts in the work area must be 

protected against water jets.

WARNING

 

● 

Only connect the device to an 

electrical connection which has been set up by a quali-
fied electrician as per IEC 60364-1.

 

● 

Check the power 

supply cable with mains plug for damage before opera-
tion each time. Do not put the device into operation with 
a damaged power supply cable. Have a damaged pow-
er supply cable replaced immediately by the authorised 
customer service / qualified electrician. 

 

● 

Do not dam-

age the power supply and extension cable by running 
over it, crushing or yanking it or similar. Protect the pow-
er supply cable from heat, oil and sharp edges.

 

● 

Only 

use the mains connection cable prescribed by the man-
ufacturer, including when replacing the cable. For order 
no. and type see operating instructions.

 

● 

Unsuitable 

electrical extension cables can be dangerous. Only use 
approved and appropriately marked electrical extension 
cables with a sufficient cable cross section for outdoors.

 

● 

Only replace couplings on the power supply or exten-

sion cable using those with the same water density and 
the same mechanical strength. 

CAUTION

 

● 

In case of longer breaks in opera-

tion and after use, switch off the device at the main 
switch / device switch and pull the mains plug.

ATTENTION

 

● 

Switch-on procedures will gener-

ate short-term voltage drops.

 

● 

Unfavourable mains 

conditions may cause other devices to be impaired.

 

● 

In 

case of a network impedance of less than 0.15 ohms, 
no malfunctions are to be expected.
