SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• The instructions should be included with the appliance if you sell it, or pass it on.
• Always follow local regulations for safety at the workplace and prevention of accidents.
• Read all the instructions, safety instructions, and warning labels on the high­ pressure washer before using it. Failure to follow all the instructions and safety instructions can result in the risk of electric shock and/or serious personal injury.
• High-pressure jets can be dangerous if they are not used properly. Do not point the jet at persons or animals, at live electrical equipment, or at the high­ pressure washer unit.
• Wear safety glasses and suitable personal safety equipment.
• The appliance is not intended to be used by persons (children or adults) with any form of functional disorders, or by persons who do not have sufficient experience or knowledge on how to use it, unless they have received instructions concerning the use of the appliance from someone who is responsible for their safety.
• Keep children under supervision to make sure they do not play with the appliance.
• The water jet from the high-pressure nozzle causes the spray gun to jerk when the trigger is pressed. Keep a firm footing and good balance at all times, and keep a firm grip on the spray gun and the spray head.
• Never leave the appliance unattended when switched on.
• Do not use the appliance at temperatures lower than 0C.

WARNING!

• Only use chemicals recommended by the manufacturer. The use of other detergents or chemicals can put safety at risk.
• Do not point the jet at yourself or any other person, e.g. to clean clothes or shoes.
• Do not use the appliance near other persons who are not wearing safety clothing.
• Never allow children or anyone who is unfamiliar with the appliance and these instructions, to use it.
• Switch off the appliance with the power switch and pull out the plug during longer interruptions to the work.

Electrical components

• Do not touch the plug or power cord with wet hands or other wet parts of your body.
• All live components in the work area must be protected from the penetration of water.
• Route the power cord and extension cord so that they cannot be driven over, trod on, or tripped over. Keep power cords away from heat, oil and sharp edges.
• Never leave the appliance running when unattended.
• Do not use the appliance in explosive environments, such as in the vicinity of flammable liquids, gases or dust.
• Never use undiluted or diluted solvents such as petrol, acetone, thinner, fuel oil, etc., or undiluted acids, in the appliance.
• These substances can damage the appliance and produce a mist that is toxic and explosive, or highly flammable.
• Never use the appliance with flammable or toxic liquids or liquids that are otherwise incompatible with the appliance.
• Keep the packaging material out of the reach of children – the risk of suffocation.
• Only use spare parts and accessories recommended by the manufacturer.
• Switch off the appliance and pull out the plug before cleaning, installation, maintenance, storage, and/or transport.

WARNING!

• Always check the power cord and plug for damage before use. Do not use the appliance if the power cord or any other important parts, e.g. safety devices, high-pressure hoses, and the trigger handle, are damaged.
• If an extension cord is used the connection must have an adequate protection rating and must not be immersed in water or any other liquid. Do not allow the connection to lie on the ground. Use a hose reel if possible with the connection at least 60 mm over the ground.
• Never spray flammable liquids – the risk of explosion.
• Water that has passed the check valve is not suitable for drinking water.
• High-pressure hoses, fittings, and couplings are very important parts for the safe use of the appliance. Only use hoses, fittings, and couplings recommended by the manufacturer.

Using detergent

• Incorrect use of detergent can result in serious personal injury and/or material damage.
• Store detergent out of the reach of children.

Extension cord

• Unsuitable extension cords can cause a fire and/or electric shock.
• Always pull out the complete extension cord.
• Keep power cord connections dry and above ground.
• An extension cord must comply with the following requirements concerning its cross-sectional area and length:

Positioning

• Place the appliance on a level, stable surface when in use and during handling, transport and storage. If the appliance tips over or drops it can cause personal injury.

Mains connection

• Electrical connections must only be
  carried out by an authorized electrician.

• Electrical connections must comply with IEC60364-1.

• The appliance must be connected to the main supply with a residual current device with a maximum tripping current of 30 mA.

• When starting the appliance there may be a temporary voltage drop in the mains supply, which could affect other equipment. Such interference does not normally occur if the impedance in the mains supply Zmax is less than 0.335 ohm. Contact your electricity supplier for more information.

• An incorrectly connected earthed plug can result in electric shock: Consult an electrician or qualified technician if you have any questions about electrical connections or earthing.

• Never modify the plug in any way.
  – If the plug does not fit the mains outlet, contact an authorized electrician to install an earthed mains outlet.

TECHNICAL DATA

*Measured, **Guaranteed

Always wear ear protection.
The declared values for vibration and noise, which have been measured according to a standardized test method, can be used to compare different tools with each other and for a preliminary assessment of exposure.
The measurement values have been determined in accordance with EN 62335-2-79.

WARNING!
The actual vibration and noise level when using tools may differ from the specified maximum value, depending on how the tool is used and the material. It is, therefore, necessary to determine which safety precautions are required to protect the user, based on an estimate of exposure in actual operating conditions (taking into account all stages of the work cycle, e.g. the time when the tool is switched off and when it is idling, in addition to the start- up time).
