CAUTION
The product must not be used on the drinking water supply without a backﬂ ow preventer being installed that corresponds to EN 12729Type BA. Water ﬂ owing through a backﬂ owpreventer is considered non-drinkable.Always observe the regulations of your local water utility company when connecting the product to a water supply line.

The product is not intended for use by children or persons with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge. Children should be adequately supervised to ensure they do not play with the product.
Wear a complete personal protective equipment when operating the product, such as boots, safety gloves, safety helmets with visor, and hearing protection. Use high-impact visors only with liquid splash protection.

WARNING
Do not use the product when people are within range, unless they wear protective clothing.

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.
Overflow valve with pressure switch
– The overflow valve 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 the high-pressure jet stops. 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 downwhile 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.

WARNING
During use of high pressure cleaners, aerosols may be formed. Inhalation of aerosols can be hazardous to health.
WARNING
Depending on the application, shielded nozzles can be used for high-pressure cleaning, which will reduce the emission of hydrous aerosols. However, not all applications allow the use of such a device.
If shielded nozzles are not applicable for the protection against aerosols, a respiratory mask of class FFP 2 or equivalent may be needed, depending on the cleaning environment.

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.

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 30 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.

● maintaining the product
● replacing spare parts
You may make adjustments or repairs described in this manual. For other repairs, contact an authorised service centre.
Regularly inspect and maintain the high pressure cleaner for safe operation. RYOBI recommends inspecting the product every 6 months.
Check all nuts, bolts, and screws at frequent intervals for proper tightness to ensure the product is in safe working condition. Any part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorised service centre.

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 in 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 ﬁ ngers, 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.
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.

WARNING
Injuries may be caused, or aggravated, by prolonged use of a tool. When using any tool for prolonged periods, ensure you take regular breaks.
