service / electrician. Do not operate an appliance
if the power cord is damaged.
• All current-conducting parts in the working area
must be protected against jet water.

cable must be watertight and must never lie in wa-
ter. Moreover, the coupling may never lie on the
ground. The use of cable reels that ensure that
the sockets are at least 60 mm above the ground
is recommended.

ing current. The voltage must correspond with the
type plate of the appliance.
• Safety class I - Appliances may only be connected
to sockets with proper earthing.
• For safety reasons, we recommend that you oper-
ate the appliance only via a residual current device
(max. 30 mA).

Warning! This electric tool generates an electro-
magnetic field during operation. This field can im-
pair active or passive medical implants under certain
conditions. In order to prevent the risk of serious
or deadly injuries, we recommend that persons with
medical implants consult with their physician and the
manufacturer of the medical implant prior to operat-
ing the electric tool.
Safe handling
m DANGER
• The user must use the appliance as intended. The
person must consider the local conditions and
must pay attention to other persons in the vicinity
when working with the appliance.
• Check important components, such as high-pres-
sure hose, hand spray gun and safety installations,
for damage prior to every operation. Immediately
replace damaged components. Do not operate ap-
pliance with damaged components.
• High-pressure jets can be dangerous if improp-
erly used. The jet may not be directed at persons,
animals, live electrical equipment or at the appli-
ance itself.
• The high-pressure jet must not be directed at other
persons or the user him-/herself to clean clothing
or footwear.
• Vehicle tyres/tyre valves are susceptible to damage
from the high-pressure jet and may burst. The first
indication for this is a discolouration of the tyre. Dam-
aged vehicle tyres/tyre valves are perilous. Keep a
minimum jet distance of 30 cm during cleaning!
m WARNING
