Cleaning Systems Safety Manual
General
The high water pressure
generated by the
machine and its electrical
connections are a
particular source of
danger.
The following safety
precautions must be read
and understood before
using the machine for the
first time. Keep the
manual in a safe place for
future reference.
Non-compliance with the owner's
manual may cause serious or even fatal
injury.
Note the national safety regulations
issued, for example, by the employers'
liability insurance association, social
security institutions, occupational safety
and health authorities or other
organizations.
The machine may only be used by duly
trained and authorized operators.
Ensure that the operating instructions
are available to
all
users.
The high-pressure cleaner must never
be used by adolescents.
The machine must not be altered or
modified in any way, as this may
endanger your personal safety.
The high-pressure cleaner can be used
to clean motor vehicles, machines,
tanks, facades, stables and to remove
rust without dust or sparks.
Other uses are not permitted and may
lead to accidents or damage to the
machine. The machine must not be
modified in any way – this may also lead
to accidents or damage to the machine.
High-pressure hoses, fittings and
couplings are very important for the
safety of the machine. Only high-
pressure hoses, fittings, couplings and
other accessories which have been
approved by STIHL for this machine or
technically equivalent parts may be
mounted on the machine. Contact a
dealer if in doubt. Use only high-quality
accessories, in order to avoid the risk of
accidents or damage to the machine.
STIHL recommends the use of genuine
STIHL accessories. Such parts have
been optimized for the machine and the
user's requirements.
Unsuitable extension leads may be
dangerous.
When using extension leads, ensure
that the minimum conductor cross-
sections are maintained
(refer to the chapter "Connect machine
to power supply").
When using extension leads, the
connector and coupling must be
waterproof or routed in such a way that
they cannot come into contact with
water.
All plugs and connectors must be at
least splashproof.
The machine may only be operated if all
parts are undamaged. Pay particular
attention to the power cable, mains plug,
high-pressure hose, spray attachment
and safety mechanisms.
The high-pressure hose must not be
driven over, pulled, buckled or twisted.
Never pull the high-pressure hose in
order to move the machine.
