3 DANGER
– Never work alone!
– For safety reasons, a second person must always be present
when the appliance is being operated, in order to be able to
shut off the appliance in emergencies and to summon help if
needed.
– High-pressure jets can be dangerous if improperly used. The
jet must not be directed at persons, animals, electrical equip-
ment or at the device itself - not even for cleaning.
– The operator must use the accessories as intended. The per-
son must consider the local conditions and must pay attention
to other persons in the vicinity when working with the appli-
ance.
– Check the proper condition and operational safety of the ac-
cessories with the working equipment before using them.
Do not use the accessories if the cables, hose lines or impor-
tant parts are damaged.
– Secure working areas (spraying areas) and the work environ-
ment clearly visible against unauthorised access during work,
put up warning signs and barriers.
– During spraying tasks, nobody besides the operator is al-
lowed in a radius of 10 m around the jet unit.
– Do not use the device in case of fatigue, impairment to health,
under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
– Never work with fluids containing solvents or undiluted acids
and solvents! This includes petrol, paint thinner and heating
oil. The spray mist is highly inflammable, explosive and poi-
sonous. Do not use acetone, undiluted acids and solvents, as
they corrode the materials used for the accessories.
– Do not operate the accessories at temperatures below 0 ?.
– Only use hose lines, spray units and accessories approved
for the maximum working pressure of the device.
The high-pressure water jet machine must be secured
against pressure exceedance to this value.
– Several spraying units on one high-pressure water jet ma-
chine may only be operated simultaneously if no dangerous
recoil changes can occur at the others upon opening or clos-
ing an individual spraying unit.
– Depending on the accessories used, hand-arm acceleration
values of >2.5 m/s² occur.
Long hours of using the appliance can cause circulation prob-
lems in the hands on account of vibrations.
It is not possible to specify a generally valid operation time,
since this depends on several factors:
Proneness to blood circulation deficiencies (cold, numb fin-
gers).
Low ambient temperature. Wear warm gloves to protect
hands.
A firm grip impedes blood circulation.
Continuous operation is worse than an operation interrupted
by pauses.
In case of regular, long-term operation of the device and in
case of repeated occurrence of the symptoms (e.g. cold,
numb fingers) please consult a physician.
