are secure. Unwind the hose properly so
they may not get twisted or kinked.

WARNING
High-pressure jet can be dangerous if

■ Hold the trigger handle securely with both
hands. Expect the trigger handle to move
when the trigger is pulled due to reaction
forces. Failure to do so could cause loss
of control and injury to yourself and others.
■ Make sure the air in the hose and pump
is released before you turn on the product.
To remove the air in the hose and pump,

hose, disengage the trigger handle lock,
and press the trigger until there is a steady
flow.
