• Check important components such as the high-pres-
sure hose, hand spray gun and safety devices for
damage before each use. Replace damaged com-
ponents immediately. Do not operate the device with
damaged components.
• High-pressure jets can be dangerous when used im-
properly. The jet must not be directed towards any
persons, animals, active electrical equipment or the
device itself.
• Do not direct the high-pressure jets at others or
yourself in order to clean clothing or footwear.
• Vehicle tyres/tyre valves can be damaged by the
high-pressure jet and burst. The first sign of this is
discolouration of the tyre. Damaged vehicle tyres/
tyre valves are life-threatening. Maintain a jetting
distance of at least 30 cm when cleaning!
m WARNING
• Do not use the device when other people are in
range unless they are wearing protective clothing.
• The device must not be operated by children or un-
trained persons.

that they do not play with the device.
m CAUTION
• Before doing any work with or on the device, ensure
that it is stable in order to avoid accidents or damage
if the device topples over.
• The emergent water jet at the high pressure nozzle
creates a recoil force on the hand spray gun. Make
sure you have a secure footing and hold the hand
spray gun and jet pipe firmly.
• Never leave the device unattended while it is in op-
eration.
ATTENTION
• Switch the device off at the device switch during

m DANGER
• Do not operate the device in explosive environments.
• Do not spray objects that contain harmful substanc-
es (e.g. asbestos).
• Never draw in liquids containing solvents or undilut-
ed acids and solvents! These include, for example,
petrol, paint thinner or heating oil. The spray mist is
highly flammable, explosive and poisonous. Do not
use acetone, undiluted acids and solvents as they
corrode the materials used on the device.

risk of suffocation!
m WARNING
• In accordance with the applicable regulations, the
device must never be operated in the drinking wa-
ter network without a system separator. Make sure
that the connection of your household water system,
on which the high-pressure cleaner is operated, is
equipped with a system separator in accordance
with EN 12729 type BA.
• Water that has run through a system separator is no
longer considered drinking water.
• High-pressure hoses, fixtures and couplings are
important for device safety. Only use high-pressure
hoses, fixtures and couplings recommended by the
manufacturer.
• When disconnecting the inlet or high-pressure hose,
hot water can escape from the connections after
operation.
m CAUTION
• When selecting the storage location and during
transport, note the weight of the device (see techni-
cal data) in order to avoid accidents or injuries.
• Uninterrupted use of the device for several hours
can lead to numbness in the hands in rare cases.
