Safety Instructions

Danger
! Never touch the mains plug and the
socket with wet hands.
! The appliance must not be used if the
power cable or important parts of the ap-
pliance, e.g. safety devices, high-pres-
sure hoses, spray guns, are damaged.
! The appliance may not be used in areas
where a risk of explosion is present.
! If the appliance is used in hazardous ar-
eas (e.g. filling stations) the correspond-
ing safety provisions must be observed.
! Check the power cord with mains plug
for damage before every use. If the pow-
er cord is damaged, please arrange im-
mediately for the exchange by an
authorized customer service or a skilled
electrician.
! High-pressure jets can
be dangerous if improp-
erly used. The jet must
not be directed at per-
sons, animals, live electrical equipment
or at the appliance itself.
! The jet must not be directed at other per-
sons or directed by the user at him/her-
self to clean clothing or footwear.
! Never use the appliance to clean objects
containing hazardous substances (e.g.
asbestos).
! Vehicle tyres or tyre valves are suscepti-
ble to damage from the high-pressure jet
and may burst. The first indication of this
is a discolouration of the tyre. Damaged
vehicle tyres/tyre valves are highly dan-
gerous. Ensure that a distance of at least
30 cm is observed when cleaning with
the jet!
! 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 inflammable, explosive and poi-
sonous. Do not use acetone, undiluted
