every use. Immediately have damaged power cord replaced
by an authorised customer service / electrician. Do not oper-
ate an appliance if the power cord is damaged.
• All current-conducting parts in the working area must be pro-
tected against jet water.
• The mains plug and the coupling of an extension cable must
be watertight and must never lie in water. Moreover, the cou-
pling 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.
• Make sure that the power cord or extension cable is not
damaged by running over, pinching, dragging or the like.
Protect the power cords from heat, oil, and sharp edges.

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 ap-
pliance.
• Check important components, such as high-pressure hose,
hand spray gun and safety installations, for damage prior
to every operation. Immediately replace damaged compo-
nents. Do not operate appliance with damaged components.
• High-pressure jets can be dangerous if improperly used. The
jet may not be directed at persons, animals, live electrical
equipment or at the appliance 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. Damaged vehicle tyres/
tyre valves are perilous. Damaged vehicle tyres/tyre valves
are perilous. Keep a minimum jet distance of 30 cm during
cleaning!
m WARNING

• Supervise children to prevent them from playing with the ap-
pliance.
m CAUTION
• Create stability for the appliance prior to any work on or
with the appliance to prevent accidents or damage.
• The water jet that is emitted from the high-pressure nozzle
results in a repulsion power acting on the hand spray gun.
Make sure that you have a firm footing and are also holding
the hand spray gun and spray lance firmly.
• Never leave the appliance unattended as long as it is in
operation.
ATTENTION
• In case of extended breaks, switch off the appliance at the
