General safety regulations

1. It is imperative to read the safety regulations
which form part of these operating instructions.
The safety regulations contain vital information
concerning the safe installation, use and
maintenance of your machine. Look after these
instructions so that you can consult them
whenever necessary.
2. Before you connect the machine to the power
supply, check that the data on the rating plate
matches the data of your supply system. The
socket-outlet has to be equipped with a
differentiated thermal protector which activates
already at values under 0.03 A.
3. If the power plug fails to fit in the socket-outlet,
have it replaced by an electrician. Check that the
cross section of the cable used is adequate for
the machine's power consumption. As a rule it is
not advisable to use multiple socket-outlets
and/or extension cables. If their use is
indispensable you are to use only single or
multiple adapters and extension cables which
comply with the safety regulations in respect of
quality and current carrying capacity.
4. This machine is to be used only for its intended
purpose. Any other use is a case of misuse and
therefore dangerous. The manufacturer shall not
be liable for damage resulting from any use of
the machine that is incorrect, unreasonable or
contrary to its intended purpose.
5. The use of every electrical machine is subject to
a number of basic rules, particularly the following:
Never touch the machine with damp or wet
hands. Never pull on the power cable or the
machine itself to remove the power plug from the
socket-outlet.
If there is a power failure while the machine is
being used, the machine has to be switched off
(set the switch to -0- position) for safety reasons.
Keep the machine out of the reach of children.
6. The electric pump has to be kept filled with
sufficient water (at least 11 - 12 l/min.). Dry
running will cause serious damage to the seals.
Take care not to damage the cable. Repairs to
the power cable are to be avoided.
7. Do not dismantle any parts while the machine is
running.
8. Do not expose the electric pump to low
temperatures. Protect from freezing.
9. Never direct the water jet at persons or animals.
This could cause serious injury.
10. The pump should not be allowed to run for longer
than 1 - 2 minutes when the pistol is closed.
11. To comply with the safety regulations you should
wear protective clothing when using the machine.

It is imperative to wear goggles and non-slip
shoes.
12. Do not use the high-pressure cleaner in the rain
and do not direct the water jet at the machine
itself.
13. Do not allow harmful, toxic or polluting products
to enter the environment.
14. If repairs should be necessary, always contact
your authorized dealer and insist on original
replacement parts.
Area of application for the machine
1. The machine's simple concept and high
performance are designed for leisure-related
applications.
2. Under no circumstances is the machine to be
used in potentially explosive areas.
3. A working temperature of between +5° and
+50°C is compulsory.
4. The machine consists of a module with a pump,
which is covered by an impact-proof case. The
case is designed for simple handling and
transportation. It has a handle but no corners or
projecting parts.
5. For an optimum working position the machine is
equipped with a lance and an ergonomic pistol
that complies in shape and features with the
pertinent regulations.
6. Neither the lance nor the spray nozzles are to be
covered or modified in any way.
7. The high-pressure cleaner is designed to be
used with cold or medium-hot water (up to
+ 60°C). Higher temperatures will cause damage
to the pump.
8. The supply water is to contain no dirt, sand or
chemical products which could impair the
machine's operation and shorten its life span.
9. The machine finds application in the cleaning of
roller blinds, tiles, vehicles, mobile homes and
other areas where pressure is needed to remove
dirt.
