► Secure the spray attachment so that it can‐
not fall.
■ The water jet may detach asbestos fibers from
surfaces. Asbestos fibers may spread through
the air after drying and be breathed in. Breath‐
ing in asbestos fibers can be harmful to health.
► Do not clean surfaces containing asbestos.
■ The water jet may remove oil from vehicles or
machinery. The oily water may enter the soil,
the water system or the drains. That would
create an environmental hazard.
► Vehicles or machinery should only be
cleaned at places where there is an oil trap
in the water drain.
■ In combination with leaded paint the water jet
can form leaded aerosols and leaded water.
Leaded aerosols and leaded water may enter
the soil, the water system or the drains. Inhal‐
ing aerosols can be harmful to health and trig‐
ger allergic reactions. That would create an
environmental hazard.
► Do not clean surfaces that are painted or
lacquered with leaded paint.
■ The water jet can damage sensitive surfaces.
Damage to property may occur.
► Do not clean sensitive surfaces with the
rotary nozzle.
► Sensitive surfaces made of rubber, fabric,
wood and similar materials should be
cleaned at a lower operating pressure and
from a greater distance.
■ If while in use the rotary nozzle is immersed in
dirty water and then operated, the rotary noz‐
zle may be damaged.
► Do not use the rotary nozzle with dirty
water.
► If cleaning a container: Empty the container
and allow the water to flow away while
cleaning it.
■ Easily combustible and explosive liquids that
are sucked in can cause fires and explosions.
Persons may be seriously or fatally injured
and property may be damaged.
► Do not suck in or spread easily combustible
or explosive liquids.
■ Drawing in irritant, corrosive and toxic liquids
can endanger health and damage components
of the high-pressure washer. Persons may be
seriously or fatally injured and property may
be damaged.
► Do not suck in or spread irritating, caustic

► Do not direct the water jet at
► Keep electrical appliances and the high-
pressure washer away from the surface to
be cleaned.
■ An incorrectly routed high-pressure hose may
suffer damage. As a result of the damage,
water under high pressure may escape uncon‐
trolled into the surrounding area. This may
result in serious injury to people and damage
to property.
► Do not direct the water jet at the high-pres‐
sure hose.
► Route the high-pressure hose so that it is
not under tension or tangled.
