Safety, performance, and dependability have
been given top priority in the design of your
petrol high pressure cleaner.
INTENDED USE
The petrol 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
CAUTION
The product must not be used on the
drinking water supply without a backflow
preventer being installed that corresponds to
EN 12729 Type BA. 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.
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. The trigger lock out locks the trigger
and prevents unintentional opening of the
high-pressure jet.
■ 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 trigger handle firmly with two
hands to avoid injury when the trigger
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.
