is

IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE OPERATOR TO WEAR
APPROPRIATE PPE
Never operate the machine without checking that there are
adequate supplies of clean diesel, clean water and clean
Foamstream® concentrate in the appropriate tanks.
The M1200 produces VERY HOT water. This can cause
serious burns and injury if used incorrectly.
Never point the lance at people or animals as this machine
operates at high temperature and low pressure.
All personnel operating a M1200 machine must be deemed
competent to do so and must be adequately trained. A copy
of the training record is available on demand.
Always check the M1200 for any damage before use.
Damaged cables, hoses or connections must be reported
immediately, and the machine taken out of use until repairs
have been completed.
Use only genuine Weedingtech spare parts and
Foamstream® consumables. This will ensure the best
performance of your machine and maintain the warranty of
the unit.
The M1200 must never be modified, safety interlocks
bypassed or settings adjusted (unless specified in these
guidance notes)
without Weedingtech’s written consent.
Ensure that the M1200 is placed in an area where there is
adequate ventilation when in use.
