4 English
 This appliance is not intended for use
by persons with limited physical, senso-
ry or mental capacities or lacking expe-
rience and/or skills, unless such per-
sons are accompanied and supervised
by a person in charge of their safety or
they have received precise instructions
on the use of this appliance and have
understood the resulting risks.
 Children must not play with this appli-
ance.
 Supervise children to prevent them
from playing with the appliance.
몇
CAUTION
 Create stability for the appliance prior to
any work on or with the appliance to
prevent accidents or damage.
 The water jet that is emitted from the
high-pressure nozzle results in a repul-
sion power acting on the hand spray
gun. Make sure that you have a firm
footing and are also holding the hand
spray gun and spray lance firmly.
 Never leave the appliance unattended
as long as it is in operation.
ATTENTION
 In case of extended breaks, switch off
the appliance at the appliance switch.
 Do not operate the appliance at temper-
atures below 0 °C.

DANGER
 The appliance may not be operated in
explosive atmospheres.
 Never use the appliance to clean ob-
jects containing hazardous substances
(e.g. asbestos).
 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 is highly inflamma-
ble, explosive and poisonous. Do not
use acetone, undiluted acids and sol-
vents, as they corrode the materials
used on the appliance.
 Keep packaging films away from chil-
dren, there is a risk of suffocation!
몇
WARNING
 According to applicable regulations, the
appliance must never be used on the
drinking water net without a system
separator. Ensure that the connection
of your building water installation on
which the high-pressure cleaner is op-
erated is equipped with a system sepa-
rator pursuant to EN 12729 Type BA.
 Water that has flown through a system
separator is no longer classified as
drinking water.
 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.
 When disconnecting the supply or high
pressure hose, hot water may leak from
the connections after operation.
몇
CAUTION
 Mind the weight of the appliance when
selecting the storage location and dur-
ing transport (see technical data) to pre-
vent accidents or injuries.
몇
CAUTION
 Wear protective clothing and safety
goggles to protect against splash back
containing water or dirt.
 During the use of high-pressure clean-
ers aerosols can develop. Inhaling aer-
osols can cause health damage.
– Depending on the application, com-
pletely shielded nozzles (e.g. surface
cleaner) that significantly reduce the
emission of aqueous aerosols can be
used for high-pressure cleaning.
– The use of such shielding is not possi-
ble with all applications.
– If the use of a completely shielded noz-
zle is not possible, a respirator of the
category FFP 2 or the like should be
used, depending on the environment to
be cleaned.
