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.
ATTENTION
● 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.
Risk of electric shock
 DANGER
● Only connect protection class I de-
vices to properly earthed power sources. ● Only con-
nect the device to alternating current. The voltage
indicated on the type plate must match the voltage of
the power source.
● Only operate the device via a fault
current protection switch (maximum 30 mA). ● Never
touch the mains plug and socket with wet hands. ● The
mains plug and coupling of the extension cable must be
water tight and may not be placed in water. The coupling
may not be on the floor. Use cable drums to ensure that
the sockets are at least 60 mm above the floor.
● All live
parts in the work area must be protected against water
jets.
