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 elec-
trician

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) the corre-
sponding safety provisions must be 
observed.

High-pressure jets can be 
dangerous if improperly 
used. The jet must not be 
directed at persons, ani-
mals, live electrical 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 highly 
dangerous. Ensure that a distance of at 
least 30 cm is observed when cleaning 
with the jet!

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.

Warning

The mains plug and the coupling of an 
extension cable must be watertight and 
must never lay in the water.

Unsuitable extension cables can be 
hazardous. Only use extension cables 
outdoors which have been approved for 
this purpose and labelled with a suffi-
cient 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.

This appliance is not intended for use by 
persons with reduced physical, sensory 
or mental capabilities. 
The appliance must not be operated by 
children or persons who have not been 
instructed accordingly.
Children should be supervised to pre-
vent them from playing with the appli-
ance.

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.

Do not use the appliance when there 
are other persons around unless they 
are also wearing safety equipment. 

Wear protective clothing and safety 
goggles to protect against splash back
