– 2
– Minimum fuse strength of the socket
(see Technical Data).
– Safety class I - Appliances may only be
connected to sockets with proper earth-
ing.
– It is recommended that you connect this
device to a socket that has a 30 mA pro-
tection switch against wrong currents.
– Please use the mains cable prescribed
by the manufacturer; the same is also
applicable when you replace the ca-
bles. See Operating Instructions Manu-
al for Order Number and Type.
– Check the power cord with mains plug
for damage before every use. If the
power cord is damaged, please arrange
immediately for the exchange by an au-
thorized customer service or a skilled
electrician.
– The appliance may only be connected
to an electrical supply which has been
installed by an electrician in accordance
with IEC 60364.
– Operating procedures create short term
power sinkings.
– During unfavorable net conditions other
devices might be disturbed.
– Never touch the mains plug with wet
hands.
– Make sure that the power cord or exten-
sion cables are not damaged by run-
ning over, pinching, dragging or similar.
Protect the cable from heat, oil, and
sharp edges.
– The extension cable must have the
cross-section listed in the circuit plan
and be protected against spraying wa-
ter. The connection must not lie in wa-
ter.
– The mains plug and the coupling of an
extension cable must be watertight and
must never lie in water. Moreover, the
coupling may never lie on the ground.
The use of cable reels that ensure that
the sockets are at least 60 mm above
the ground is recommended.
– Unsuitable electrical extension cables
can be hazardous. Only use electrical
extension cables outdoors which have
been approved and labelled for this pur-
pose and have an adequate cable
cross-section.
– The power cord must be checked regu-
larly for damages, such as cracks or ag-
ing. If damage is found, the cable must
be replaced before further use.
– If couplings of the power cord or exten-
sion cable are replace the splash pro-
tection and the mechanical tightness
must be ensured.
– Do not clean the appliance with a water
hose or high-pressure water jet (danger
of short circuits or other damage).
– Do not operate the appliance at temper-
atures below 0 °C.
– Please observe the safety instructions
of your water supply authority.
– Please ensure that screw connections
of all hoses are not leaky.
– The high pressure hose must not be
damaged. A damaged high pressure
hose must be replaced immediately.
Only hoses and joints recommended by
the manufacturer may be used. See
Operating Instructions Manual for Order
Number.
– The appliance and its working equip-
ment must be checked to ensure that it
is in proper working order and is operat-
ing safely prior to use.
The appliance must not be used if a
connecting line or important parts of the
appliance, e.g. safety devices, high-
pressure hoses, spray guns, are dam-
aged.
– 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 aggres-
sive towards the materials from which
the appliance is made.
