Safety instructions
Read this safety chapter and these origi-
nal instructions before using the device
for the first time. Act in accordance with
them. Keep the original instructions for future reference
or for future owners.
● In addition to the notes in the operating instructions,
you also need to take into consideration the general
safety regulations and accident prevention guide-
lines applicable by law.
● Warnings and information notices attached to the
device provide important information for hazard-free
operation.
Hazard levels
DANGER
● Indication of an imminent threat of danger that will
lead to severe injuries or even death.
WARNING
● Indication of a potentially dangerous situation that
may lead to severe injuries or even death.

Protective gear
CAUTION
● Wear suitable protective clothing
and safety goggles to protect yourself from water or dirt
backsplash. ● Aerosols can be formed when using high-
pressure cleaners. Inhaling aerosols can be harmful for
your health. Depending on the application, the use of
fully shielded nozzles (e.g. surface cleaners) can signif-
icantly lower the emission of aqueous aerosols. De-
pending on the environment to be cleaned, wear a
suitable respiratory protective mask of class FFP 2 or
comparable to protect yourself from inhaling aerosols if
the use of a fully shielded nozzle is not possible.

vices to properly earthed power sources. ● Only con-
13
nect the device to alternating current. The voltage
indicated on the type plate must match the voltage of
the power source. ● Only operate the device via a fault
current protection switch (maximum 30 mA). ● Never
touch the mains plug and socket with wet hands. ● The
mains plug and coupling of the extension cable must be
water tight and may not be placed in water. The coupling
may not be on the floor. Use cable drums to ensure that
the sockets are at least 60 mm above the floor. ● All live
parts in the work area must be protected against water

WARNING
electrical connection which has been set up by a quali-
fied electrician as per IEC 60364-1. ● Check that the
mains connection cable with mains plug is undamaged
each time before using the device. To avoid any possi-
ble danger, a damaged mains connection cable must be
immediately replaced by the manufacturer, or the au-
thorised customer service department or a qualified
electrician. ● Do not damage the power supply and ex-
tension cable by running over it, crushing or yanking it
or similar. Protect the power supply cable from heat, oil
and sharp edges. ● Unsuitable electrical extension ca-
bles are dangerous. Only use approved and appropri-
ately marked electrical extension cables with a sufficient
line cross section when outdoors: 1-10 m : 1.5 mm
10-30 m : 2.5 mm
CAUTION
cable from the cable drum. ● In case of longer breaks in
operation and after use, switch off the device at the
main switch / device switch and pull the mains plug.
DANGER
pheres is prohibited. ● Never suction solvents, liquids
containing solvents or undiluted acids. This includes
e.g. petrol, paint thinner or heating oil. The spray mist is
highly flammable, explosive and poisonous. ● Dam-
aged wheels / tyre valves are extremely dangerous.
Damaged wheels / tyre valves can be damaged by the
high-pressure jet and explode. The first sign of this is
discolouration of the tyres. Keep a spray distance of at
least 30 cm when cleaning the wheels / tyre valves.
