WARNING:
The electrical supply connection must be made by a qualified person and comply
with IEC 60364-1. The electric supply to this machine should include either a residual-
current device / circuit breaker that will interrupt the supply if the current to earth exceeds
30 mA for 30 ms.
Risk of
electrocution
•
To reduce the risk of injury, close supervision is necessary when the machine is used near
children.
•
Follow all safety codes as well as the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA).
•
Ensure safety devices are operating properly before using the machine. Do not remove or
modify any part of the gun or main unit of the machine.
•
Stay alert at all times when using the machine and always hold the gun firmly when operating
the machine.
•
Do not operate the machine when fatigued, suffering from reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities or whilst under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
•
Keep the operation area clear of all electrical equipment, persons, animals and pets. Do not
leave the machine unattended when setup for use. Always engage the trigger safety latch after
use.
•
Do not point the pressure gun at anyone whilst the unit is connected to a water supply.
•
Do not overreach or stand on an unstable support. Keep good footing and balance at all times.
•
Use a cleaning agent supplied or recommend by the manufacturer. Always protect your eyes,
skin, and respiratory system from detergent use.
•
If your eyes (or any other sensitive part of your body) comes into contact with detergent, rinse
with plenty of clean water.
•
In the event of an accident, switch off the machine, pull the plug from the socket outlet and
disconnect the water supply.
•
Always wear safety goggles, ear protection and protective clothing even when performing
maintenance.
•
Never put hands or fingers over the spray tip while operating the unit.
•
Never try to stop or deflect leaks with any body part.
WARNING: This is a double-insulated machine so two systems of insulation are provided
instead of grounding. No grounding means are provided for a double-insulated machine, nor
should grounding means be added to the machine. Servicing a double-insulated machine
requires extreme care and knowledge of the system. It should be done only by qualified
service personnel. Replacement parts for a double-insulated machine must be identical to
the original parts.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrocution, keep all connections dry and off the
ground. Do not touch the plug with wet hands.
WARNING:
Do not use the machine if the supply cord or any important parts of the
machine are damaged (e.g. safety devices, high pressure hoses, etc).
WARNING : Do not use an inlet pressure that exceeds the operating pressure of any of the parts (hoses,
fittings, etc). Ensure all equipment and accessories are rated to withstand the maximum working
pressure of the unit.
WARNING : Never spray flammable liquids or use the pressure washer in areas containing combustible
dust, liquids or vapours.
WARNING : Do not spray electrical apparatus and wiring.
WARNING : To ensure machine safety, please only use original spare parts (including nozzles) from the
manufacturer or approved by the manufacturer.
WARNING : Make sure the inlet water is maintained between 0.01MPa and 0.4MPa.
WARNING : If the mains cable is damaged it must be replaced by the manufacturer, or its service agent
or similarly qualified person to avoid a hazard or injury.
WARNING : Use only extension cords intended for outdoor use and that have an electrical rating equal to
or more than the rating of the machine. Examine the cord before using and replace it if damaged. Keep
the cord away from heat and sharp edges. It is recommended that you use a cord reel that keeps the
socket at least 60mm above the ground.
CAUTION : Keep the hose away from sharp objects. Bursting hoses may cause injury. Examine the hose
regularly and replace it if damaged. Do not attempt to repair a damaged hose.
• Never disconnect the high pressure outlet hose from the machine while the system is pressurised. To
de-pressurise machine, turn power and water supply off, then press gun trigger 2-3 times.
• Never operate the machine without all of the components properly connected to the machine (handle,
gun / lance assembly, nozzle, etc).
• Never operate the pressure washer with broken or missing parts. Check equipment regularly and
repair or replace worn or damaged parts immediately.
