Caution
Safety devices protect the user and must not be
modified or bypassed.
The appliance switch prevents unintentional op-
eration of the appliance.
This lock locks the lever of the trigger gun and
prevents the inadvertent start of the appliance.
The overflow valve prevents the permissible
working pressure from being exceeded.
If the lever on the trigger gun is released the
pressure switch turns off the pump, the high-
pressure jet is stopped. If the lever is pulled the
pump is turned on again.
Caution

on or with the appliance to prevent accidents or
damage.
– The stability of the appliance is warranted
when it is placed onto an even surface.
