pressure hoses, spray guns, are dam-
aged.
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
acids and solvents as they are aggres-
sive towards the materials from which
the appliance is made.
If the appliance is used in hazardous ar-
–
eas (e.g. filling stations) the corre-
sponding safety provisions must be
observed. It is not allowed to use the
appliance in hazardous locations.
The appliance must be sitting on an
–
even, stable ground.
Wear ear plugs if the operating instruc-
–
tions of the appliance (Technical data)
mention a noise level of more than 80
dB(A).
All current-conducting parts in the work-
–
ing area must be protected against jet
water.
The lever of the hand spray gun must
–
not be locked during the operation.
Wear protective clothing and safety
–
goggles to protect against splash back
containing water or dirt.
High-pressure jets can be dangerous if
–
improperly used. The jet may not be di-
rected at persons, animals, live electri-
cal equipment or at the appliance itself.
The jet must not be directed at other
–
persons or directed by the user at him/
herself to clean clothing or footwear.
Vehile tyres/ tyre valves may be
–
cleaned only with a minimum spray dis-
tance of 30 cm. Otherwise, the high
pressure spray can cause damage to
the vehicle tyre/ tyre valve. The discol-
ouring of the tyre is the fhe first sign of
damage. Damaged vehicle tyres are a
source of danger.
Do not spray materials containing as-
–
bestos or other health-hazardous sub-
stances.
With short spray lances, there is a risk
–
of injury, as a hand can accidentally
come in contact with the high pressure
jet. If the spray lance is shorter than 75
cm, you must not use a point spray noz-
zle or a rotor nozzle.
Prior to cleaning, a risk assessment must
–
be performed for the surface to be cleaned
to determine the safety and health require-
ments. The respective required protective
measures must be taken.
Do not open the hood when the motor is
–
running.
Let the hoses cool off after hot water op-
–
eration or operate the appliance briefly
using cold water.
In case of extended downtimes, switch
–
the appliance off at the main switch / ap-
pliance switch or remove the mains plug.
