IMPORTANT INSTRUCTION

To reduce the risk of injury, keep children and visitors away. All visitors should wear safety glasses and be kept at a safe distance from the work area.
Inspect the safety devices, such as safety valves, flow switches, and pressure switches to check if they are in good working condition. Make sure all safety devices are operating properly before each use, such as:
On/Off switch
The on/off switch prevents unintentional operation of the product.
Trigger handle lock
The trigger handle lock locks the trigger and prevents unintentional opening of the high-pressure jet.
Total stop switch
The total stop switch prevents the permissible working pressure from being exceeded. If the lever on the trigger gun is released, the pressure switch turns off the pump and stops the high-pressure jet. If the lever is pulled, the pump turns on again.
Overload protection
A thermal sensor protects the product from overloading. The product will automatically shut the power down while overheating.
Do not use the product if the important parts are damaged, such as safety devices, high-pressure hoses, or trigger gun.
Exercise caution when opening the trigger.
Hold the handle firmly with two hands to avoid injury when the handle kicks back.
Always stop the product when you leave it unattended.
High-pressure jet is dangerous if misused.
Do not direct the jet to people, live electrical equipment, or the product itself.
To avoid a risk of explosion, do not spray flammable liquids.
Do not direct the jet against yourself or others in order to clean clothes or footwear.
Do not use the product to clean electronic devices, clothes, or footwear.
High-pressure hoses, fittings, and couplings are important for the safety of the product.
Use only hoses, fittings, and couplings recommended by the manufacturer.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY WARNINGS

The plug must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets reduces the risk of electric shock.
Do not use the product if the power cord or other important parts, such- as safety devices, are damaged.
Check the power cord and the extension cord for damage before each use. If the power cord or the extension cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent, or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
Keep the power cord away from heat, oil, and sharp edges.
Never touch the mains plug and the socket with wet hands.
Inadequate extension cords can be dangerous. If an extension cord is used, it shall be suitable for outdoor use, and the connection has to be kept dry and off the ground.
Use a cord wheel to keep the socket at least 60 mm above the ground.
The electric supply connection must be made by a qualified electrician and must comply with IEC 60364-1.
It is recommended that the electric supply to the product should include either a residual current device that interrupts the supply if the leakage current to earth exceeds 10 mA for 30 ms or a device that proves the earth circuit.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS

Some regions have regulations that restrict the use of the product in some operations.
Check with your local authority for advice.
Before each use, check for damage.
A damaged high-pressure hose must be replaced immediately.
Ensure all connections, such as high-pressure hose and nozzle, are secure.
Unwind the hose properly so they may not get twisted or kinked.

RESIDUAL RISKS

Even when the product is used as prescribed, it is still impossible to completely eliminate certain residual risk factors. The following hazards may arise during use and the operator should pay special attention to avoid the following:

injury caused by the high-pressure jet
Avoid pointing the high-pressure jet to people, animals, and to yourself.
injury caused by kickback
Always hold the handle or the trigger wand firmly with your two hands.
injury caused by inhalation of aerosols
Wear appropriate respiratory mask.
injury caused by exposure to noise
Wear ear protection.

RISK REDUCTION
It has been reported that vibrations from handheld tools may contribute to a condition called Raynaud’s Syndrome. Symptoms may include tingling, numbness, and blanching of the fingers, usually apparent upon exposure to cold. Hereditary factors, exposure to cold and dampness, diet, smoking, and work practices are all thought to contribute to the development of these symptoms. There are measures that can be taken by the operator to possibly reduce the effects of vibration:

Keep your body warm in cold weather.
When operating the product, wear gloves to keep the hands and wrists warm. It is reported that cold weather is a major factor contributing to Raynaud’s Syndrome.
After each period of operation, exercise to increase blood circulation.
Take frequent work breaks. Limit the amount of exposure per day.
If you experience any of the symptoms of this condition, immediately discontinue use and see your physician.
