Electrical Connection
Never use defect connection or extension lines! If the connection line
is damaged, it must be replaced with a special connection line that is
available from the manufacturer or his customer service.
Please make sure that the connection or extension lines are not dama-
ged by being ran over, pulled or dragged. Protect the connection lines
from heat, oil, and sharp edges.
Never touch the mains plug and the socket with wet hands.
The connection between connection line and extension line must not
lie in the water.
All current-carrying components within the working area must be jet-
proof.
- The appliance may only be connected to an electrical connection that
was performed by an electrician according to IEC 60364.
- Only connect the appliance to alternating current. The voltage must
comply with the voltage specified on the typeplate.
- To avoid electric accidents, we recommend to use sockets with a se-
ries connected residual current operated device (rated breaking cur-
rent max. 30 mA).
-
Warning:
Inappropriate extension lines may be dangerous. If you
work outside, only use extension lines that are approved and specifi-
cally labelled and provide of a sufficient conductor cross section:
1 to 10 m: 1.5 mm² 10 to 30 m: 2.5 mm²
- The plug and the coupling of an extension line must be waterproof.
- Always unwind the extension line completely from the cable drum.
Safety Instructions
The operation of the device in hazardous locations is not admissible.
Please comply with the corresponding safety instructions if you use
the appliance in danger areas (e.g. filling stations).
Do not turn on the appliance if the power supply line or important com-
ponents of the appliance, such as safety components, high-pressure
hoses, spray jet, are damaged.
Warning:
High-pressure hoses, fittings, and couplings are of im-
portance for the appliance safety. Only use high-pressure hoses, fit-
tings, and couplings recommended by the manufacturer.
