Danger

Never touch the mains plug and the 
socket with wet hands.

The appliance must not be used if the 
power cord or important parts of the ap-
pliance, e.g. high pressure hoses, trig-
ger gun or safety devices are damaged.

Check the power cord and mains plug 
for damage before every use. If the 
power cord is damaged, please arrange 
for it to be replaced immediately by an 
authorised repair agent or a skilled 
electrician.

Check the high pressure hose for dam-
age before every use. Please arrange 
for the immediate replacement of a 
damaged high pressure hose.

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) all of the safety 
provisions and operating instructions 
detailed in this manual must be ob-
served.

High pressure jets can be dangerous if 
improperly used. The jet must not be di-
rected at persons, animals, live electri-
cal 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 high-
ly dangerous. Ensure that a distance of 
at least 30 cm is observed when clean-
ing with the jet!

Risk of explosion!
Do not spray flammable liquids.
Never draw in fluids containing solvents 
or undiluted acids! This includes petrol, 

paint thinner and heating oil. The spray 
mist thus generated is highly inflamma-
ble, explosive and poisonous. Do not 
use acetone, undiluted acids or sol-
vents as they are damaging to the ma-
terials from which the appliance is 
made.

Warning

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: 
1 - 10 m: 1.5 mm

2

; 10 - 30 m: 2.5 mm

2

Always fully unroll electrical cables from 
the cable drum.

High pressure hoses, fixtures and cou-
plings are important for the safety of the 
appliance. Only use high pressure hos-
es, fixtures and couplings recommend-
ed by the manufacturer.

The appliance must not be operated by 
children or persons who have not been 
instructed accordingly.

The appliance may be used by individu-
als with limited physical, sensory or 
cognitive abilities or lack of experience 
and knowledge if they are under super-
vision or were instructed regarding the 
safe use of the appliance and under-
stand the resulting risks.

Supervise children to prevent them 
from playing with the appliance.

Keep packaging film away from children 
- risk of suffocation!

The operator must use the appliance 
correctly. When working with the appli-
ance, he must consider the local condi-
tions and pay due care and attention to 
other persons, in particular children, 
who are nearby.
