Wear suitable protective clothing and safety goggles to protect against splashing water or dirt.
The recommended cleaning agents must not be used undiluted. The products are safe to operate as they do not contain any environmentally harmful substances. In case of contact of a cleaning agent with eyes, immediately rinse thoroughly with plenty of water and consult a doctor immediately if swallowed.
Allow the hoses to cool down after hot water op-eration or operate the device briefly in cold water mode.

For units with a hand-arm vibration value > 2.5 m/s² (see technical data)

DANGER

Prolonged use of the device may lead to vibration-induced circulatory problems in the hands. A generally valid duration for use cannot be determined because it depends on several influencing factors:
- Personal predisposition to poor circulation (often cold fingers, finger tingling).
- Low ambient temperature. Wear warm gloves to protect your hands.
- Tight grasping worsens blood circulation.
- An uninterrupted operation is worse than an operation interrupted by breaks.
In case of regular, long-term use of the device and repeated occurrence of corresponding signs (for example, finger tingling, cold fingers), we recommend a medical examination.

Operation

WARNING

For petrol or oil-powered machines, it is important to provide adequate ventilation and ensure that exhaust gases are properly discharged.

DANGER
