„ 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) the corre-
sponding safety provisions must be
observed.
„ 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 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 damag-
ing to the materials from which the ap-
pliance is made.
