4.10 Connecting to the power supply
Contact with live parts can occur for the following
reasons:
–
The connecting cord or the extension cord is
damaged.
–
The mains plug of the connecting cord or
extension cord is damaged.
–
The socket is not properly installed.
DANGER
■ Contact with live parts can result in electric
shock. The user may be seriously injured or
killed.
► Make sure that the connecting cord, exten‐
sion cord and their plugs are undamaged.
If the connecting cord or the extension
cord is damaged:
► Do not touch the damaged areas.
► Unplug the mains plug from the
socket.
► Make sure your hands are dry before touch‐
ing the connecting cord, extension cord or
plugs.
► Plug the mains plug of the connecting cord
or extension cord into a properly installed,
fused socket with the correct fuse rating.
► The mains connection must be carried out
by a qualified electrician and meet the
requirements of IEC 60364-1. It is recom‐
mended that the power supply to this
machine should either be connected via an
earth leakage circuit breaker, which inter‐
rupts the power supply as soon as the leak‐
age current to earth exceeds 30 mA for 30
ms, or has an earth tester.
■ A damaged or unsuitable extension cord can
result in electric shock. People can be seri‐
ously injured or killed.
► Use an extension cord with the correct
cross-section, 19.4.
► Only use an extension cord which is splash-
proof and approved for outdoor use.
► Use an extension cord that has the same
characteristics as the connecting cord of
the pressure washer, 19.4.
► It is recommended to use a cable reel that
holds the socket at least 60 mm above the
floor.
WARNING
■ During operation, an incorrect mains voltage
or incorrect mains frequency may result in an
overvoltage in the pressure washer. The pres‐
sure washer may be damaged.
► Make sure that the mains voltage and the
mains frequency of the power supply match
the data on the rating plate of the pressure
washer.
■ Electrical components may be overloaded dur‐
ing operation if more than one electric power
tool is connected to a multiple socket. The
electrical components may heat up and a fire
may break out. This can result in serious inju‐
ries or death and damage to property.
► Only ever connect one pressure washer to
one socket.
► Do not connect pressure washers to multi‐
ple sockets.
■ An incorrectly routed connecting cord or
extension cord may be damaged and people
may trip over it. People may be injured and the
connecting cord or extension cord may be
damaged.
► Route the connecting cord and extension
cord so that the water jet cannot touch
them.
► Route and mark the connecting cord and
extension cord so that people will not trip
over them.
► Route the connecting cord and extension
cord so that they are not under tension or
tangled.
► Route the connecting cord and extension
cord so that they will not be damaged,
kinked or crushed and will not be chafed.
► Protect the connecting cord and extension
cord from heat, oil and chemicals.
► Lay the connecting cord and extension cord
on a dry surface.
■ The extension cord warms up in operation. If
that heat cannot escape, it may cause a fire.
► If using a cable reel: Completely unroll the
cable reel.
4.11 Transport
WARNING
■ The pressure washer may topple over or move
during transport. This can result in injuries and
damage to property.
► Lock the spray gun trigger.
► Switch off pressure washer.
► Unplug the mains plug of the pressure
washer from the socket.
► Drain the spraying set or secure it so
that it cannot topple over and cannot
move.
► Secure the pressure washer with lashing
straps, belts or a net so that it cannot topple
over and cannot move.
