Operation
• Turn on the water tap entirely.
Never operate the pressure washer
with a closed water tap. Dry running
will damage the washer!
Be prepared for the recoil force of
the emitted water jet! Ensure that
you are standing firmly and that
you are holding the gun (1) se-
curely, otherwise you could injure
yourself or other people.
• Switch on the pressure washer
with the ON / OFF switch (10).
The pressure washer turns on
for a short time to build up pres-
sure.
• Pull the lever of the gun (1) to
turn on the washer.
• Hold the switch-on lever of the
gun (1) until there is no more air
in the pressure washer.
Releasing the lever will switch
off the washer, but the pressure
within the system is retained.

• Lock / unlock the switch-on lever
of the gun (1) by depressing the

• The jet tube with high-pressure nozzle
(17) produces a rotating water jet and
is designed for low water consumption
work.
• The jet tube with flat spray nozzle (18)
produces a flat wide jet particularly
suited for large surfaces.
Turn the tip of the nozzle left to reduce the
width of the jet. Turn the tip of the nozzle
right to expand the width of the jet.
Mains connection
The pressure washer you have acquired is
already fitted with a mains plug. The pres-
sure washer must only be connected to an
earthed socket 230 V ~ 50Hz.
Only operate the pressure washer
after all the above points have been
observed.
• Ensure that the pressure washer is
turned off by its ON / OFF switch (10).
• Insert the mains plug into the mains
socket
High-pressure / low-pressure
operation
The jet tube with flat spray nozzle (18) is
designed for either high-pressure or low-
pressure operation.
The adjustable flat spray nozzle is set to
high pressure by default.
Push the tip of the nozzle forward to
change to low-pressure operation.
In this mode (low pressure), the unit will
automatically draw in cleaning agent from
the built-in tank.
Push in the tip of the nozzle to change to
high-pressure operation.
