Safety, performance, and dependability have been given
top priority in the design of your electric high pressure
cleaner.
INTENDED USE
The electric high pressure cleaner is only intended for
use outdoors. For safety reasons the product must be
adequately controlled by using two-handed operation.
The product is designed for home or domestic use. It is
intended to clean machines, vehicles, buildings, floors,
tools, facades, terraces, floors, and concrete walkways by
removal of stubborn dirt using clean water with or without
cleaning detergent.
It should be used in dry and well-illuminated conditions.
Do not use the product for any other purpose.
WARNING
The product is designed for use with a neutral cleaning
agent supplied or recommended by the manufacturer.
The use of other cleaning agents or chemicals may
adversely affect the safety of the product.
GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING
Read all safety warnings and all instructions.
Failure
to follow the warnings and instructions may result in
electric shock, fire, and/or serious injury.
CAUTION
The product must not be used on the drinking water
supply without a backflow preventer being installed.
Water flowing through a backflow preventer is considered
non-drinkable. Always observe the regulations of your
local water utility company when connecting the product
to a water supply line.
■
The product is not intended for use by children or
persons with reduced physical, sensory, or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge.
Children should be adequately supervised to ensure
they do not play with the product.
■
Wear a complete personal protective equipment when
operating the product, such as boots, safety gloves,
safety helmets with visor, and hearing protection. Use
high-impact visors only with liquid splash protection.
WARNING
Do not use the product when people are within range,
unless they wear protective clothing.
■
To reduce the risk of injury, keep children and visitors
away. All visitors should wear safety glasses and be
kept at a safe distance from the work area.
■
Inspect the safety devices, such as safety valves, flow
switches, and pressure switches to check if they are in
good working condition. Make sure all safety devices
are operating properly before each use, such as:
●
On/off switch
–
The on/off switch prevents unintentional
operation of the product.
●
Trigger handle lock
–
The trigger handle lock locks the trigger and
prevents unintentional opening of the high-
pressure jet.
●
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 and the high-pressure
jet stops. If the lever is pulled, the pump turns
on again.
●
Overload protection
–
A thermal sensor protects the product from
overloading. The product will automatically shut
the power down while overheating.
■
Do not use the product if the important parts are
damaged, such as safety devices, high-pressure
hoses, or trigger gun.
■
Exercise caution when opening the trigger. Hold the
handle firmly with two hands to avoid injury when the
handle kicks back.
WARNING
During use of high pressure cleaners, aerosols may
be formed. Inhalation of aerosols can be hazardous to
health.
WARNING
Depending on the application, shielded nozzles can
be used for high-pressure cleaning, which will reduce
the emission of hydrous aerosols. However, not all
applications allow the use of such a device. If shielded
nozzles are not applicable for the protection against
aerosols, a respiratory mask of class FFP 2 or equivalent
may be needed, depending on the cleaning environment.
■
Always stop the product when you leave it unattended.
■
High-pressure jet is dangerous if misused. Do not
direct the jet to people, live electrical equipment, or the
product itself.
■
To avoid a risk of explosion, do not spray flammable
liquids.
■
Do not direct the jet against yourself or others in order
to clean clothes or footwear.
■
Do not use the product to clean electronic devices,
clothes, or footwear.
■
High-pressure hoses, fittings, and couplings are
important for the safety of the product. Use only
hoses, fittings, and couplings recommended by the
