• Warnings and information notices attached to the device provide important information for safe operation.

Hazard levels

DANGER

• Indication of an imminent threat of danger that will lead to severe injuries or even death.

WARNING

• Indication of a potentially dangerous situation that may lead to severe injuries or even death.

CAUTION

• Indication of a potentially dangerous situation that may lead to minor injuries.

ATTENTION

• Indication of a potentially dangerous situation that may lead to damage to property.

Personal protective gear

CAUTION

• Wear suitable protective clothing and safety goggles to protect against water or dirt that splashes back.
• Aerosols may be generated during the use of high-pressure cleaners. Inhalation of aerosols may cause damage to health. Depending on the application, the use of fully shielded nozzles (e.g. surface cleaners) can significantly reduce the emission of aqueous aerosols. Depending on the environment to be cleaned, wear a suitable FFP 2 category respirator or comparable to protect against the inhalation of aerosols if the use of a fully shielded nozzle is not possible.

General safety instructions

DANGER

• Suffocation hazard. Keep packaging film out of the reach of children.

WARNING

• Only operate the device in accordance with its intended use. Take into account the local conditions and beware of third parties, in particular children, when working with the device.
• The device must not be used by persons (including children) with restricted physical, sensory or mental capabilities or persons lacking the relevant experience and knowledge.
• Children are not allowed to operate the device.
• Supervise children to ensure they do not play with the device.

CAUTION

• Safety devices are provided for your own protection. Never modify or bypass safety devices.

Operation

DANGER

• Operation in potentially explosive areas is prohibited.
• Never aspirate solvents, liquids containing solvents or undiluted acids. These include, for example, petrol, paint thinner or heating oil. The spray mist is highly flammable, explosive and toxic.
• Do not refuel in confined spaces.
• Never operate the device in confined spaces.
• Damaged wheels / tire valves are dangerous to life. Wheels / tire valves can be damaged by the high-pressure jet and burst. The first sign of this is discoloration of the tire. When cleaning wheels / tire valves, maintain a spray distance of at least 30 cm.

WARNING

• Make sure that exhaust emissions are not near air intakes.
• Do not use the unit if there are no persons with appropriate protective clothing within reach.
• High-pressure jets can be dangerous if used improperly. Do not direct the jet at persons, animals, live electrical devices or at the device itself.
• Do not point the high-pressure jet at yourself, e.g. to clean clothing or footwear.
• Do not spray any objects that contain substances hazardous to health (e.g. asbestos).
• Check the unit and accessories, such as the high-pressure hose, high-pressure gun and safety devices, for proper condition and operational safety before each operation. Do not use the unit if it is damaged. Replace damaged components immediately.
• Use only high-pressure hoses, fittings and couplings recommended by the manufacturer.
• Risk of scalding. When disconnecting the supply hose or high-pressure hose, hot water may escape from the connections after operation.

CAUTION

• Never operate the unit without a system separator on the drinking water network in accordance with valid regulations. Ensure that your domestic water system connection at which the high-pressure cleaner is operated is equipped with a system separator in accordance with EN 12729 type BA.
• Water that has passed through a system separator is no longer considered drinking water.
• Never leave the device unattended while it is in operation.
• A recoil force acts on the high-pressure gun due to the outgoing water stream at the high-pressure nozzle. Ensure a secure footing and hold the high-pressure gun and spray lance firmly.
• Accidents or damage caused by the device falling over. You must ensure stability before all activities with or on the device.

ATTENTION

• Only use the device on surfaces that are not sensitive to moisture.
• First check the effectiveness of the device in an inconspicuous place, especially on sensitive surfaces such as wood.
• Do not operate the device at temperatures below 0 °C.

Operation with detergent

WARNING

• Incorrect use of detergents can cause serious injury or poisoning.

CAUTION

• Keep detergents out of reach of children.
• Use only the detergents supplied or recommended by the manufacturer. The use of other detergents or chemicals may affect the safety of the device.

Care and service

WARNING

• Before carrying out any care and maintenance work, switch off the engine, let it cool down and remove the spark plug cap from the spark plug.

CAUTION

• Have repair work and work on electrical components carried out only by authorized Customer Service personnel.

ATTENTION

• Do not use acetone, undiluted acids or solvents, as they would attack the materials used on the device.
