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 with mains plug 
for damage before every use. If the 
power cord is damaged, please arrange 
immediately for the exchange by an au-
thorized customer service or a skilled 
electrician.

„

Check the high-pressure hose for dam-
age before every use. Please arrange 
for the immediate exchange of a dam-
aged 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 aggres-
sive towards the materials from which 
the appliance is made.

„

This device is not intended for use by 
persons (including children) with re-
duced physical, sensory or mental abili-
ties or lacking experience and/or 
knowledge, unless they are supervised 
by a person responsible for their safety 
or are instructed by these persons on 
the use of the device. Children should

„

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.

„

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
