2.4 Concerning the jet of high-pressure produced
The high-pressure cleaner cleans using a jet of high pressure. This could indirectly or directly lead to injury.
So please observe the following:
c
Never direct the high-pressure jet at persons or animals.
c
Never point the high-pressure jet at electric or electronic parts, especially not sockets.
c
Only point a jet of high-pressure that is sufficiently spread at tyres and valves.
c
Always hold the pistol with the attachment in the direction of the surface to be cleaned.
c
Always look in the direction the pistol is pointing.
c
If no water is coming out, never look into the attachment or the pistol to find the cause.
c
Always ensure that the high-pressure hose — as well as the electricity cable — are not subjected to any
loads. That means that the high pressure hose must not come into contact with heat sources, oils or greases,
be run over, bent, squashed or subjected to excessive pulling strain.
c
Check the high-pressure hose before each use. Defective high-pressure hoses have to be replaced by our
customer services.
c
Always wear personal protective equipment, Chapter 2.10, “Concerning the personal protective
equipment required“.
c
Ensure that persons without personal protective equipment are not in the area of use.
c
Prepare the location of use by removing loose objects such as stones, shards and the like.
2.5 Concerning the noise produced
c
If the pump is in operation and water is exiting under high pressure, the appliance is very noisy.
The jet of high pressure might also produce more noise as it hits the object/surface to be cleaned.
c
Always wear hearing protection.
c
Ensure that persons without personal protective equipment are not in the area of use.
c
Comply with the regulations regarding quiet times and noise-producing machines at the location of use.
