General safety warnings
The water temperature must not exceed 45 °C.
When connecting the high-pressure washer to the water supply system,  country- specific sanitary regulations must be observed to prevent water not of drinking water quality from being drawn back in.
→Please consult a specialist for sanitary installations.
Wear suitable personal protective equipment (safety gloves, helmet with visor, and hearing protection).
The maximum permissible pressure when connected to the water pipe is 6 bar. Take care when opening the spray gun! When using the flat or rotary nozzle, recoil forces can occur when the spray gun is opened, causing a torque on the lance.
The spray gun can be secured against accidental opening by a lock.
CAUTION! The product is not intended for the application of cleaning agents.
CAUTION! Do not use the product within reach of persons unless they are wearing protective clothing.
CAUTION! Do not point the jet at yourself or others to clean clothes or footwear.
CAUTION! Risk of explosion! Do not spray flammable liquids.
CAUTION! High-pressure hoses, fittings, and couplings are important for product safety. Only use accessories recommended by GARDENA (high-pressure hoses, fittings, and couplings).
CAUTION! To ensure product safety, use only original spare parts approved by GARDENA.
CAUTION! Water that has flowed through non-return valves is deemed to be non- drinkable.
CAUTION! Do not use the product if a connecting cable or important parts are damaged, e. g. safety devices, high-pressure hoses, spray guns, etc.
Electrical safety
DANGER! Electric shock!
Risk of injury due to electric shock.
→The product must be supplied through a residual current device (RCD) having a rated residual operating current not exceeding 30 mA.
CAUTION! Remove the battery before cleaning, maintenance, when replacing parts, or when the product is converted to another function.
Additional safety warnings Battery safety
DANGER! Fire risk!
The battery to be charged must be placed on a nonflammable, heat-resistant, and non-conductive surface while charging. The battery must not be charged unattended.
The supply terminals are not to be short-circuited. Keep corrosive, flammable, and easily combustible objects clear of the battery charger and the battery. Do not cover the battery charger and the battery while charging.
Disconnect the battery charger immediately in the event of smoke formation or fire.
Only use GARDENA batteries for the GARDENA battery product. GARDENA cannot accept any liability for the batteries of other manufacturers. If they are of minor quality, they could cause a fire or explosion hazard!
Do not use the GARDENA charger to charge external rechargeable batteries, as GARDENA cannot guarantee compatibility and could therefore present a risk of fire or explosion. Do not charge non-rechargeable batteries.
DANGER! Risk of explosion!
Protect batteries from heat and fire. Do not leave on radiators or be exposed to strong sunshine for long periods.
Do not operate them in explosive atmospheres, e. g. in the presence of flammable liquids (vapors), flammable gases, or accumulations of dust. Batteries may create sparks that could ignite the mixtures.
Check your battery before each use. Visually check the battery before each use. A non-functioning battery must be disposed of correctly. Do not send by post. For further details, please contact your local disposal companies.
For risks of injury do not use the battery as a power source for other products. Only use the battery for the GARDENA product intended.
Only charge and use the battery in ambient temperatures of between 0 °C and 40 °C. Allow the battery to cool down after long periods of use.
Check the charging cable regularly for signs of damage or aging (brittleness). Only use it in perfect condition.
Do not stow or transport the battery above 45 °C or in direct sunlight. Ideally, the battery should be stored below 25 °C so that self-discharge is low. Do not expose the battery to rain, water (immersion), or wet conditions. Keep the battery in order (clean) especially air vents.
If usage of the battery is not planned for a certain time (winter period) reload the battery to avoid a deep discharge.
Do not store the battery in a product to prevent self-discharge, misuse, and accidents.
Do not store the battery in places where static electricity is present.
Electrical safety
DANGER! Cardiac arrest!
This product makes an electromagnetic field while it operates. This field may under some conditions interfere with active or passive medical implants. To decrease the risk of conditions that can possibly injure or kill, we recommend persons with medical implants to speak with their physician and the medical implant manufacturer before they operate the product.
Disconnect the battery in case of emergency.
Switch off the product when the water tank is empty.
Personal safety
DANGER! Risk of suffocation!
Small parts can be easily swallowed. There is also a risk that the polybag can suffocate toddlers. Keep toddlers away when you assemble the product.
Check the product before using it.
Do not use a damaged product especially if there are cracks on the housing.
Caution: Do not park the pressure washer on a slope Do not immerse the product.
Operate the machine only in daylight or in good artificial light.
When cleaning painted surfaces, keep a jet distance of at least 30 cm to avoid damage.
Do not clean car tires, paint, or sensitive surfaces such as wood to avoid damage.
DANGER! Personal injury and damage to the product!
→Observe the weight of the product during transport.
→Let the pressure out of the system before disconnecting the pressure hose from the pressure washer or spray gun.
Use personal protective equipment.
Always wear eye protection.
Protective equipment such as gloves, non-skid safety shoes, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries. Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight to be sure the product is in a safe working condition.
Do not disassemble the product further than the delivery status.
Warning! When wearing hearing protection, and due to the noise produced by the product, the operator may not notice persons approaching.
While operation and transport pay special attention to the hazard for other people. Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating a power tool.
Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
Only use the product with clear water. Do not add any additives to the water. Impurities in the water can damage the pump and accessories. Do not use the product in frost.
