people, read the following:
•
This product is intended for domestic outdoor use only.
•
The water spray must never be directed
towards any electric wiring, devices, or
directly towards the pressure washer itself,
or fatal electric shock may occur.
•
The pressure washer should not be used in areas where
gas vapours may be present. An electric spark could cause
an explosion or fire.
