Electrical safety
DANGER
Risk of electric shock.

Never touch the mains plug and the socket with wet hands.
Check the power cord with 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.
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. It is recommended that this is accomplished by means of a cord reel which keeps the socket at least 60mm above the ground.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarity qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
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 electric supply connection shall be made by a qualified electrician and comply with IEC 60364-1. It is recommended that the electric supply to this machine should include either a residual current device that will interrupt the supply if the leakage current to earth exceeds 30mA for 30ms or a device that will prove the earth circuit.
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.
