IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION. Mind the weight of the appliance when
selecting the storage location and during
transport to prevent accidents or injuries.
WORKING WITH DETERGENT
WARNING. This appliance was designed
to be used with detergents which are
supplied or recommended by the
manufacturer. The use of other
detergents or chemicals may
compromise the safety of the appliance.
The improper use of detergents can cause severe
injuries or toxication.
Store detergents away from the reach of children.
SAFETY DEVICES
WARNING. Safety installations serve the
protection of the user and may not be
modified or bypassed.
APPLIANCE SWITCH
The appliance switch prevents unintentional
operation of the appliance.
LOCK TRIGGER GUN
This lock locks the lever of the trigger gun and
prevents the inadvertent start of the appliance.
OVERFLOW VALVE WITH PRESSURE SWITCH
The overflow valve prevents the permissible
working pressure from being exceeded.
If the lever on the trigger gun is released the
pressure switch turns off the pump, the high
pressure jet is stopped. If the lever is pulled the
pump is turned on again.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Wear protective clothing and safety goggles to
protect against splash back containing water or dirt.
During the use of high-pressure cleaners aerosols
can develop. Inhaling aerosols can cause health
damage. Depending on the application, completely
shielded nozzles (e.g. surface cleaner) that
significantly reduce the emission of aqueous
aerosols can be used for high-pressure cleaning.
The use of such shielding is not possible with all
applications.
If the use of a completely shielded nozzle is not
possible, a respirator of the category FFP 2 or the
like should be used, depending on the environment
to be cleaned.
GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WARNING! Read all instructions Failure to follow
all instructions listed below may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious injury. The term "power
tool" in all of the warnings listed below refers to
your mains operated (corded) power tool or battery
operated (cordless) power tool.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
1) WORK AREA
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and
dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools
create sparks which may ignite the dust or
fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause
you to lose control.
2) ELECTRICAL SAFETY
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power
tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets
will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of
electric shock if your body is earthed or
grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an
extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of
a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk
of electric shock.
