Makita HW001G Betriebsanleitung Seite 16

17. This machine has been designed for use with
the cleaning agent supplied or recommended
by the manufacturer. The use of other cleaning
agents or chemicals may adversely affect the
safety of the machine.
18. Do not pull the hose to move the high pressure
washer body. This will damage the hose and
connecting parts and result in a short circuit
or functional defects.
19. Do not put heavy objects on the hose or let
vehicles drive over it.
20. Always discharge the residual pressure in the
trigger gun before disconnecting the hose.
21. When connecting the hose to the water mains,
observe the instructions of your local water-
works department or company.
22. If the high pressure washer is dropped or hits
against an hard object, be sure to check for
damage and crack. Using the high pressure
washer damaged may generate smoke, fire, or
cause electric shock, which result in personal
injury.
23. During use of high pressure cleaners, aerosols
may be formed. Inhalation of aerosols can be
hazardous to health.
24. Depending on the application, shielded noz-
zles can be used for high pressure cleaning,
which will reduce the emission of hydrous
aerosols dramatically. However, not all appli-
cations allow the use of such a device. If
shielded nozzles are not applicable for the pro-
tection against aerosols, a respiratory mask
of class FFP 2 or equivalent may be needed,
depending on the cleaning environment.
25. The employer shall perform a risk assessment
in order to specify the necessary protective
measures regarding aerosols, depending on
the surface to be cleaned and its environment.
Respiratory masks of class FFP 2, an equiv-
alent or higher are suitable for the protection
against hydrous aerosols.
26. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off-position before connecting
to battery pack, picking up or carrying the
appliance. Carrying the appliance with your finger
on the switch or energizing appliance that have
the switch on invites accidents.
27. Disconnect the battery pack from the appli-
ance before making any adjustments, chang-
ing accessories, or storing appliance. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the appliance accidentally.
28. Do not modify or attempt to repair the appli-
ance or the battery pack except as indicated in
the instructions for use and care.
29. Do not apply the water jet to the same area
continuously. The object may break and cause
an injury.
30. Do not wash the machine with the water jet of
this machine. The machine may break or parts of
the machine may come off and cause an injury.
31. To avoid risk of electric shock, do not direct
the water jet against the machine while the
machine is turned on.
Battery tool use and care
Recharge only with the charger specified by
1.
the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for
one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire
when used with another battery pack.
2. Use power tools only with specifically desig-
nated battery packs. Use of any other battery
packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
3. When battery pack is not in use, keep it away
from other metal objects, like paper clips,
coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal
objects, that can make a connection from one
terminal to another. Shorting the battery termi-
nals together may cause burns or a fire.
4. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If con-
tact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If
liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical
help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause
irritation or burns.
Do not use a battery pack or tool that is dam-
5.
aged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries
may exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting in
fire, explosion or risk of injury.
6. Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or
excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or tem-
perature above 130 °C may cause explosion.
Follow all charging instructions and do not
7.
charge the battery pack or tool outside the
temperature range specified in the instruc-
tions. Charging improperly or at temperatures
outside the specified range may damage the
battery and increase the risk of fire.
Service
1. Follow the maintenance instructions specified
in the manual.
2. To ensure machine safety, use only original
spare parts from the manufacturer or approved
by the manufacturer.
3. Have your high pressure washer serviced by
a qualified repair person using only identi-
cal replacement parts. This will ensure that
the safety of the high pressure washer is
maintained.
4. In case of breakdown or malfunction of the
high pressure washer, immediately switch
it off and remove the battery cartridge(s).
Contact your local dealer or service center.
