an appliance, two systems of insulation are provided as
protection against electric shock. No grounding means are

appliance. Servicing a double-insulated appliance
requires extreme care and knowledge of the system, and
should be done only by qualified service personnel.

may cause serious or fatal injury or property damage.
– STIHL recommends that only identical authorized
STIHL replacement parts be used for repair or
maintenance.
– If using a replacement or accessory high-pressure
hose, ensure that it is rated for the maximum PSI of
the pressure washer.
– If using a replacement spray gun or lance, or any
other spray accessory, ensure that it is rated for the
maximum PSI of the pressure washer.
￭ To reduce the risk of electric shock:
– Ensure that the insulation of the power supply cord
and plug are in good condition and show no signs of
aging (brittleness), wear or damage.
– Never use your pressure washer if the casing around
the motor is cracked or damaged.
￭ Improper storage can result in unauthorized use, damage
to the pressure washer and an increased risk of fire,
electric shock and other personal injury or property
damage.
– Disconnect the pressure washer from the power
supply before storing.
– Never store the pressure washer with the plug of the
power supply cord connected to an electrical outlet.
