Risk of electric shock

DANGER ● Only connect protection
class I devices to properly earthed power
sources.
● Only connect the device to alter-
nating 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 (maxi-
mum 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 pro-
tected against water jets.
몇
WARNING ● Only connect the device
to an electrical connection which has been
set up by a qualified electrician as per
IEC 60364-1.
● Check the power supply
cable with mains plug for damage before
operation each time. Do not put the device
into operation with a damaged power sup-
ply cable. Have a damaged power supply
cable replaced immediately by the author-
ised customer service / qualified electri-
cian. ● Do not damage the power supply
and extension cable by running over it,
crushing or yanking it or similar. Protect the
power supply cable from heat, oil and sharp
edges.

Operation

DANGER ● Operation in explosive at-
mospheres is prohibited. ● Never suction
solvents, liquids containing solvents or un-
diluted acids. This includes e.g. petrol,
paint thinner or heating oil. The spray mist
is highly flammable, explosive and poison-
ous.
● Damaged 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 cloth-
ing 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-
pressure jet at persons, animals, live elec-
trical equipment or at the device itself.
● Do
not spray any objects which contain harm-
ful substances (e.g. asbestos).
● Check
the device and the accessories, such as the
high-pressure 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
damaged. Replace damaged components
immediately.
● Only use high-pressure hos-
es, control panels and couplings specified
by the manufacturer.
● Risk of scalding.
