Safety, performance, and dependability have
been given top priority in the design of your
brushless pressure washer.
INTENDED USE
The brushless pressure washer 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, and
concrete walkways by removal of stubborn
dirt using clean water with or without cleaning
detergent.
It should be used in 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.
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
valve is released removing internal
pressure. 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.
WARNING
Do not use the product if the power cord
or other important parts, such as safety
devices, high-pressure hoses, or trigger
gun, are damaged.
■ 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 washers,
aerosols may be formed. Inhalation of
aerosols can be hazardous to health.
