„

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 correspond-
ing safety provisions must be observed. 

„

The appliance must not be used if the 
power cord or important parts of the ap-
pliance, e.g. safety devices, high-pres-
sure hoses, spray guns, are damaged.

„

Check the power cord with mains plug 
for damage before every use. If the pow-
er cord is damaged, please arrange im-
mediately for the exchange by an 
authorized customer service or a skilled 
electrician.

„

Warning

: High-pressure hoses, fixtures 

and couplings are important for the safe-
ty of the appliance. Only use high-pres-
sure hoses, fixtures and couplings 
recommended by the manufacturer.

„

Check the high-pressure hose for dam-
age before every use. Please arrange for 
the immediate exchange of a damaged 
high-pressure hose.

„

The appliance must not be operated by 
children, or persons who have not been 
instructed accordingly.

„

The operator must use the appliance 
properly. 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.

„

Warning

: High-pressure 

jets can be dangerous if im-
properly used. The jet may 
not be directed at persons, 
animals, live electrical equipment or at 
the appliance itself.

„

The jet must not be directed at other per-
sons or directed by the user at him/her-
self to clean clothing or footwear.

„

Never use the appliance to clean objects 
containing hazardous substances (e.g. 
asbestos).

„

Warning

: Vehicle tyres or tyre valves are 

susceptible to damage from the high-
pressure jet and may burst. The first indi-
cation of this is a discolouration of the 
tyre. Damaged vehicle tyres or tyre 
valves endanger life. Ensure that a dis-
tance of at least 30 cm is observed when 
cleaning with the jet!

„

Cleaning operations which produce oily 
waste water, e.g. engine washes, under-
body washes, may only be carried out 
using washing stations equipped with an 
oil separator.

„

Observe a distance of at least 30 cm 
when using the jet to clean painted sur-
faces to avoid damaging paintwork.

„

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.

„

Wear protective clothing and safety gog-
gles to protect against back spray con-
taining water or dirt.

„

Never leave the appliance unattended 
when it is in operation.

„

Warning

: This appliance was designed 

to be used with detergents which are 
supplied or recommended by the manu-
facturer. The use of other detergents or 
chemicals may compromise the safety of 
the appliance.

Electrical connection

„

Make sure that the power cord or exten-
sion cables are not damaged by running 
over, pinching, dragging or similar. Pro-
tect the power cords from heat, oil, and 
sharp edges.

„

Never use a defective power cord or ex-
tension cable! If the power cord is dam-
aged it must be replaced with a special 
power cord available from the manufac-
turer or his customer service.
