Never draw in fluids containing solvents or
undiluted acids and solvents! This in-
cludes petrol, paint thinner and heating oil.
The spray mist thus generated is highly in-
flammable, explosive and poisonous. Do
not use acetone, undiluted acids and sol-
vents as they are aggressive towards the
materials from which the appliance is
made.
Warning
The mains plug and the coupling of an ex-
tension cable must be watertight and must
never lay in the water.
Unsuitable extension cables can be haz-
ardous. Only use extension cables out-
