Safety instructions
Read this safety chapter and these origi-
nal instructions before using the device
for the first time. Act in accordance with
them. Keep the original instructions for future reference
or for future owners.
● In addition to the notes in the operating instructions,
you also need to take into consideration the general
safety regulations and accident prevention guide-
lines applicable by law.
● Warnings and information notices attached to the
device provide important information for hazard-free
operation.
Hazard levels

DANGER
● Indication of an imminent threat of danger that will
lead to severe injuries or even death.
몇
WARNING
● Indication of a potentially dangerous situation that
may lead to severe injuries or even death.
몇 CAUTION
● Indication of a potentially dangerous situation that
may lead to minor injuries.

● Indication of a potentially dangerous situation that
may lead to damage to property.
Operation
 DANGER
● Operation in explosive atmos-
pheres is prohibited. ● Never suction solvents, liquids
containing solvents or undiluted acids. This includes
e.g. petrol, paint thinner or heating oil. The spray mist is
highly flammable, explosive and poisonous.
● Dam-
aged wheels / tyre valves are extremely dangerous.
Damaged wheels / tyre valves can be damaged by the
high-pressure jet and explode. The first sign of this is
discolouration of the tyres. Keep a spray distance of at
least 30 cm when cleaning the wheels / tyre valves.
몇
WARNING
● Do not use the device if people
without the proper protective clothing are in its reach.
● Do not aim the high-pressure jet at yourself, e.g. to
clean clothes or shoes. ● Do not direct the high-pres-
sure jet at persons, animals, live electrical equipment or
at the device itself.
● Do not spray any objects which
contain harmful substances (e.g. asbestos). ● Check
the device and the accessories, such as the high-pres-
sure hose, high-pressure gun and safety devices, to
make sure they are in proper safe and reliable condition
before each operation. Do not use the device if it is dam-
aged. Replace damaged components immediately.
● Only use high-pressure hoses, control panels and
couplings specified by the manufacturer. ● Risk of
scalding. When disconnecting the supply or high-pres-
sure hose, hot water can leak out of the connections af-
ter operation.
몇
CAUTION
● According to the applicable regu-
lations, the appliance may never be used with the drink-
ing water network without a system separator. Ensure
that the connection to your house water system, with
which the high-pressure cleaner is operated, is
equipped with a system separator according to
EN 12729 type BA.
● Water that has flowed through a
system separator is no longer classified as drinkable.
● Never leave the device unsupervised while it is in op-
eration. ● Recoil force from the water stream emerging
at the high-pressure nozzle acts on the high-pressure
gun. Keep proper footing and hold the high-pressure
gun and spray lance firmly.
● Accidents or damage due
to the device falling over. Before all actions with or on
the device, you must make sure that it is stable.
ATTENTION
● Do not operate the device at tem-
peratures below 0 °C.
Protective gear
몇 CAUTION
● Wear suitable protective clothing
and safety goggles to protect yourself from water or dirt
backsplash.
● Aerosols can be formed when using high-
pressure cleaners. Inhaling aerosols can be harmful for
your health. Depending on the application, the use of
fully shielded nozzles (e.g. surface cleaners) can signif-
icantly lower the emission of aqueous aerosols. De-
pending on the environment to be cleaned, wear a
suitable respiratory protective mask of class FFP 2 or
comparable to protect yourself from inhaling aerosols if
the use of a fully shielded nozzle is not possible.
