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.
