General safety regulations and accident prevention
It is essential that you read the safety regulations and operating instructions in their entirety and follow the information
contained therein in order to eliminate the possibility of an accident or potentially dangerous situation from occurring while
working with the machine.
• The power plug must be plugged into a properly installed socket. The power supply should include a residual current device
for max. 30 mA.
• Always check the device, the mains cable and the plug before using the machine. Only operate the device when it is in
good working order and has not been damaged in any way. Damaged parts must be immediately replaced by a qualified
electrician.
• Always pull the power plug out of the socket outlet before doing any work on the machine, before changing the nozzle and
whenever it is not being used.
• Warning! Unsuitable extension cable can be dangerous.
• If an extension cable is used, the plug and socket must be of watertight construction.
• Only use suitable extension cable when working outdoors. Extension cable must have a minimum cross-section of 1.5 mm

.
• Warning! This device was developed to be used with cleaning agents supplied or recommended by the manufacturer. The
use of any other cleaning agents or chemicals can negatively affect the safety of the device.
• Cable connections should be kept dry and off the ground. Always uncoil the extension cable completely to avoid heat
damage to the cable.
• Warning! Do not use the device when other persons or animals are in the near vicinity unless they are wearing appropriate
protective clothing.
• Warning! High pressure jets can be dangerous when the machine is not use properly. Do not direct the jet toward persons,
animals, live electrical equipment or the device itself.
• Do not direct the jet against yourself or other s in order to clean clothes and footwear.
• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities,
or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appli -
ance by a person responsible for their safety.
• Warning! High pressure hoses, fittings and couplings are important components for the safety of the device. Only use high
pressure hoses, fittings and couplings that are recommended by the manufacturer.
• In order to ensure the operational safety of the device, only use genuine manufacturer’s replacement parts or parts that
have been approved by the manufacturer.
• Do not operate the device if the mains cable or other important parts of device – e.g. safety related elements, high pressure
hose, spray pistol – are damaged.
• Do not pull or carry the electric tool by its mains cable. Protect the mains cable from becoming damaged by oil, solvents
and sharp edges.
• Keep your place of work tidy.
• Ensure that the switch is turned off when connecting the machine to the power supply.
• Wear the suitable work clothes.
• Check your machine to ensure that it is in good working order. If it is not functioning properly, have it checked by an RYOBI
authorized distributor. Have all maintenance and inspection work carried out only by RYOBI authorized distributor.
• The water jet that emerges from the high pressure nozzle produces a ‘kickback’ on the spray handle. Therefore, make sure
that you have a solid footing and that you have a firm hold of the handle grip. In order to protect yourself from possible flying
objects (that are released due to the high pressure).
• The high pressure jet can damage vehicle tyres and tyre parts. Keep a distance of at least 30 cm from the object being
cleaned.
• If there is a power failure while you are using the machine, be sure to switch off the machine for safety reasons.
• The electric pump always must be able to draw on a sufficient supply of water. Dry operation causes severe damage to the
seals.
• Disconnect from the power supply before carrying out user maintenance.
• Only use original spare parts from the manufacturer or approved by the manufacturer.
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by RYOBI authorized distributor in order to avoid a hazard.
• Never use the machine in an environment where there could be a danger of explosion. If any doubt arises, please contact
RYOBI authorized distributor.
• It is not allowed to clean asbestos-containing surfaces with high pressure.
• This machine must not be used at temperatures below 0℃.
• The electric supply connection (for example, connection the RCD or fix wiring) shall be made by a qualified electrician and
comply with IEC60364-1: Low-voltage electrical installations.
