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. safety devices, high-pres-
sure hoses, spray guns, are damaged.
!
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.
!
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.
!
High-pressure jets can
be dangerous if improp-
erly used. The jet may
not be directed at per-
sons, 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).
!
Vehicle tyres or tyre valves are suscepti-
ble to damage from the high-pressure jet
and may burst. The first indication of this
is a discolouration of the tyre. Damaged
vehicle tyres/tyre valves are highly dan-
gerous. 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.

Unsuitable extension cables can be haz-
ardous. Only use extension cables out-
doors which have been approved for this
purpose and labelled with a sufficient ca-
ble cross section:
1 - 10 m: 1,5 mm
2
10 - 30 m: 2,5 mm

!
Check the high-pressure hose for dam-
age before every use. Please arrange for
the immediate exchange of a damaged
high-pressure hose.
!
High-pressure hoses, fixtures and cou-
plings are important for the safety of the
appliance. Only use high-pressure hos-
es, fixtures and couplings recommended
by the manufacturer.
!
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.
Note
!
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.
!
Observe a distance of at least 30 cm
when using the jet to clean painted sur-
faces to avoid damaging paintwork.
!
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.
