ELECTRIC COMPONENTS

DANGER!

• RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
  Never touch the mains plug and the socket with wet hands. Check the power cord with the mains plug for damage prior to every use. Do not use the machine if a supply cord or important parts of the machine are damaged, e.g. safety devices, high-pressure hoses, trigger gun. All current conducting parts in the working area must be protected against jet water. The mains plug and the coupling of an extension cable must be watertight and must never lie in water. Moreover, the coupling may never lie on the ground. The use of cable reels that ensure that the sockets are at least 60mm above the ground is commended.
  Make sure that the power cord or extension cable is not damaged by running over, pinching, dragging, or the like. Protect the power cords from heat, oil, and sharp edges. Always switch off the mains disconnecting switch when leaving the appliance unattended.

WARNING!
The appliance may only be connected to an alternate current. The voltage must correspond with the type plate of the appliance.
For safety reasons, we recommend that you operate the appliance only via a residual current device (max. 30mA).
An unsuitable electrical extension cable can be hazardous. Only use an electrical extension cable which has been approved and labeled for this purpose and has an adequate cable cross section outdoors: 1-10 m: 1.5 mm2 ;10-30 m: 2.5 mm2.
Always fully unreel the extension cable from the cable drum.

SAFE HANDLING
