• Protection class I devices may only be connected to
properly earthed power sources.
• For safety reasons, we generally recommend oper-
ating the device via a residual current circuit break-
er (max. 30 mA).
• An unsuitable electrical extension lead can be dan-
gerous. For outdoor use, only use an approved, ap-
propriately labelled, electrical extension lead with a
sufficient cable cross-section:
1 - 10 m: 1.5 mm ; 10 - 30 m: 2.5 mm
2
• Always completely unwind the extension lead from
the cable drum.
Safe use
m DANGER
• The user must use the device as intended. They
must take the local conditions into account and pay
attention to persons around them when working with
the device.
• Check important components
high-pressure hose, hand spray gun and safety de-
vices for damage before each use. Replace dam-
aged components immediately. Do not operate the
device with damaged components.
• High-pressure jets can be dangerous when used
improperly. The jet must not be directed towards
any persons, animals, active electrical equipment
or the device itself.
• Do not direct the high-pressure jets at others or
yourself in order to clean clothing or footwear.
• Vehicle tyres/tyre valves can be damaged by the
high-pressure jet and burst. The first sign of this is
discolouration of the tyre. Damaged vehicle tyres/
tyre valves are life-threatening. Maintain a jetting
distance of at least 30 cm when cleaning!
m WARNING
• Do not use the device when other people are in
range unless they are wearing protective clothing.
• The device must not be operated by children or un-
trained persons.
• This device is not designed to be operated by per-
sons with impaired physical, sensory or mental ca-
pabilities, or who have insufficient experience and/
or insufficient knowledge unless they are being su-
pervised by a person who is responsible for their
safety or they are receiving instruction about how
this device is to be used and have understood the
resulting dangers. Children may not play with the
device.
22 | GB
• Children should be supervised in order to ensure
that they do not play with the device.
m CAUTION
• Before doing any work with or on the device, ensure
that it is stable in order to avoid accidents or dam-
age if the device topples over.
• The emergent water jet at the high pressure nozzle
creates a recoil force on the hand spray gun. Make
sure you have a secure footing and hold the hand
2
spray gun and jet pipe firmly.
• Never leave the device unattended while it is in op-
eration.
ATTENTION
• Switch the device off at the device switch during
longer work breaks.
• Do not operate the device at temperatures below
0°C.
Other dangers
such as the
m DANGER
• Do not operate the device in explosive environ-
ments.
• Do not spray objects that contain harmful substanc-
es (e.g. asbestos).
• Never draw in liquids containing solvents or undilut-
ed acids and solvents! These include, for example,
petrol, paint thinner or heating oil. The spray mist is
highly flammable, explosive and poisonous. Do not
use acetone, undiluted acids and solvents as they
corrode the materials used on the device.
• Keep packaging material away from children, there
is a risk of suffocation!
m WARNING
• In accordance with the applicable regulations, the
device must never be operated in the drinking wa-
ter network without a system separator. Make sure
that the connection of your household water system,
on which the high-pressure cleaner is operated, is
equipped with a system separator in accordance
with EN 12729 type BA.
• Water that has run through a system separator is no
longer considered drinking water.
• High-pressure hoses, fixtures and couplings are im-
portant for device safety. Only use high-pressure
hoses, fixtures and couplings recommended by the
manufacturer.
