operating the appliance in closed rooms (risk
of poisoning).
The appliance must not be used if the power
cord or important parts of the appliance, e.g.
safety devices, high-pressure hoses, spray
guns, are damaged.
Check the high-pressure hose for damage
before every use. Please arrange for the im-
mediate replacement of a damaged high-
pressure hose.
High-pressure jets can be
dangerous if improperly used.
The jet must not be directed at
persons, animals, live electri-
cal equipment or at the appliance itself.
The high-pressure jet must not be directed at
other persons or directed by the user at him/
herself to clean clothing or footwear.
Never use the appliance to clean objects
containing hazardous substances (e.g. as-
bestos).
Vehicle tyres or tyre valves are susceptible
to damage from the high-pressure jet and
may burst. The first indication of this is a dis-
colouration of the tyre. Damaged vehicle
tyres/tyre valves are highly dangerous. En-
sure that a distance of at least 30 cm is ob-
served when cleaning with the jet!
Never draw in fluids containing solvents or
undiluted acids and solvents! This includes
petrol, paint thinner and heating oil. The
spray mist thus generated is highly inflam-
mable, explosive and poisonous. Do not use
acetone, undiluted acids and solvents as
they are damaging to the materials from
which the appliance is made.
Only use the fuels specified in the Operating
Manual. Risk of explosion due to the use of
inappropriate fuels.
Do not use high pressure cleaners when
there has been an oil spill; move the appli-
ance to another spot and avoid any sort of
spark formation.
Do not store, spill or use fuel in the vicinity of
open flames or appliances such as ovens,
boilers, water heaters, etc. that have an igni-
tion flame or can generate sparks.
Do not smoke or use open fire while filling
and storing fuels.
Do not overfill the tank. There must not be
any fuel in the filling nozzle.
Fuels may only be filled in a well-ventilated
room and while the engine is switched off.
Petrol is highly prone to fire hazards and is
explosive under some circumstances. After
filling, make sure that the lid on the fuel tank
is closed properly.
Avoid repeated or extended contact between
fuel and your skin as well as breathing the
vapors.
Keep even mildly inflammable objects and
materials away from the silencer (at least 2
m).
Do not start the engine without the silencer;
check, clean and replace, if required, the si-
lencer at regular intervals.
Do not use the engine in forest, bushes or
grassy areas without fitting a spark receiver
at the exhaust.
Except for setting jobs, do not run the engine
when the air filter is removed or there is no
cover over the suction support.
Do not make any adjustments to the regula-
tor springs, regulator bars or other parts that
can bring forth an increase in the engine
speed.
Risk of burns! Do not touch hot silencers,
cylinders or radiator ribs.
Do not put hands or feet close to moving or
rotating parts.
