Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught
in moving parts.
•
An extension cord must have adequate wire size
(AWG or American Wire Gauge) for safety.
The smaller
the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity
of the cable, that is, 16 gauge has more capacity than
18 gauge. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line
voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. When
WARNING:
To ensure machine safety, use only original
spare parts from the manufacturer or approved by
the manufacturer.
WARNING:
Water that has flowed through backflow
preventers is considered to be nonpotable.
WARNING:
the machine shall be disconnected from
its power source during cleaning or maintenance and
when replacing parts.
WARNING:
Do not use the machine if a supply cord
or important parts of the machine are damaged, e.g.
safety devices, high pressure hoses, trigger gun.
WARNING:
Inadequate extension cords can be
dangerous. If an extension cord is used, it shall be
suitable for outdoor use, and the connection has to be
kept dry and off the ground. It is recommended that
this is accomplished by means of a cord reel which
keeps the socket at least 60 mm above the ground.
WARNING :
Always switch off the mains disconnecting
switch when leaving the machine unattended.
WARNING:
Depending on the application, shielded
nozzles can be used for high pressure cleaning,
which will reduce the emission of hydrous aerosols
dramatically. 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.
