Description of hazard that could result in minor or moderate injury.
For your safety
This Suttner product is state of the art and complies with generally recognised health and safety regulations. Due to the high pressures and
temperatures nonetheless there is the danger of material damage and injury for users and other persons. Please comply with these Operating
Instructions at all times and the relevant regulations for liquid jet washers.
For details regarding personal protective equipment, refer to the German accident prevention regulations "Personal protective equipment"
(VBG101, at present Draft). Personal protective equipment includes for example overalls, head protection, easy-grip protective gloves and non-
slip boots, metatarsal foot protection, respiratory protection, ear protection, eye or face protection.
Do not use the equipment if persons without protective clothing are within range.
Risk of injury due to spray medium!
Before starting work, check the high-pressure system (spray equipment, hoses, screw connectors, etc.) for signs of leakage and damage.
Stop operation immediately if any leakage or malfunctions occur.
The spray gun trigger lever must not be blocked in the open position or prevented from closing in any other manner.
Do not aim the spray nozzle at yourself or other living creatures, not even to clean clothing or footwear.
Never place your hands in the way of the exiting high-pressure jet.
If you are using cleaning agents, please read and observe the safety datasheets provided by the manufacturer of the cleaning agents.
Risk of burning or scalding due to hot media!
Do not touch anything which is not insulated if you are working with consumables and additives where the temperature exceeds 45° C.
Wear protective gloves!
Risk of falling due to exiting jet!
Due to the high pressure of the exiting jet, you will experience a recoil force.
Please ensure that you stand firmly
Gun kicks back. Hold with both hands.
Do not use the spray equipment when on slippery floors or ladders.
Secure yourself on scaffolding or staging against falling.
Remember that the use of angled lances produces torque forces. Make sure that the torque force does not exceed 20 Nm.
Risk of personal injury and material damage due to displaced particles!
During high-pressure cleaning, particles of dirt and other loose particles are displaced from the surface being
cleaned. Due to the energy of the high-pressure jet, these particles are vastly accelerated and may lead to material
damage and personal injury.
Risk of injury due to high pressure!
Do not spray any objects containing harmful substances (e.g. asbestos) or which conduct electricity. The spray gun must not be used to
clean fragile surfaces.
Damage may occur when spraying fragile surfaces (e.g. car tires, painted surfaces). For fragile surfaces, do not use spot jet nozzles and
keep a minimum distance. This minimum distance is dependent on the pressure and surface to be cleaned.
