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 appliance, e.g.
high-pressure hoses, trigger 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 re-
placed immediately by an authorised repair
agent or a skilled electrician
Check the high-pressure hose for damage
before every use. Please arrange for the im-
mediate 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 areas
(e.g. filling stations) the corresponding safety
provisions must be observed.
High-pressure jets can be dangerous if im-
properly used. The jet must not be directed
at persons, animals, live electrical equip-
ment or at the appliance itself.
The high-pressure jet must not be directed at
other persons or directed by the user at him/
herself to clean clothing or footwear.
Never use the appliance to clean objects
containing hazardous substances (e.g. as-
bestos).
Vehicle tyres or tyre valves are susceptible
to damage from the high-pressure jet and
may burst. The first indication of this is a dis-
colouration of the tyre. Damaged vehicle
tyres/tyre valves are highly dangerous. En-
sure that a distance of at least 30 cm is ob-
served when cleaning with the jet!
Risk of explosion!
Do not spray flammable liquids.
Never draw in fluids containing solvents or
undiluted acids and solvents! This includes
petrol, paint thinner and heating oil. The
spray mist thus generated is highly inflam-
mable, explosive and poisonous. Do not use
acetone, undiluted acids and solvents as
they are damaging to the materials from
which the appliance is made.
