In these circumstances, the water cleaner should be tested by a Skilled
Technician.
• It is especially important to pay great attention when the high pressure
cleaner is used in areas where there are moving vehicles as these can crush
or damage the power supply cable, the high pressure pipe, the cleaner gun
etc.
• During operation, never leave the water cleaner unattended and make sure it is
out of children's reach. Pay particular attention when using it in kindergartens,
nursing homes and old people's homes, as unsupervised children, elderly
people and disabled people may be present in such places.
• Before using the water cleaner, make sure it is in a dry place and that it is in a
flat and stable position in order to avoid accidents and prevent it from falling
over.
• Before moving the water cleaner, follow the instructions in the «Switching
off» section.
• Before starting the water cleaner, put on clothing which guarantees adequate
protection against the possibility of incorrect manoeuvres of the jet of
pressurised water. Do not operate the water cleaner near people unless they
are also wearing protective clothing.
• High-pressure jets of water can be dangerous if they are not used properly.
Do not point the jet in the direction of people, animals, and energized
electrical appliances or towards the water cleaner itself.
• Hold the cleaner gun firmly during use: when operating the lever (9), the
operator is subjected to the backlash of the high pressure. The power of this
recoil is indicated in the table of technical specifications (recoil is expressed in
N, where 1 N = 0.1 kg).
• Do not point the jet towards oneself or other people in order to clean off
clothing or footwear.
• Vehicle tyres must be cleaned at a distance of at least 50cm to safeguard them
from being damaged by the high-pressure jet. The first evidence of damage to
a tyre is a change in colour.
• Do not point the high-pressure jet towards materials, which contain asbestos
or other harmful substances.
• Do not use the water cleaner in the rain.
• Pay particular attention to the instructions in the «Checks and connection to
the mains electricity supply» section.
• Pay particular attention to the instructions in the «Use with detergents»
section.
• When the water cleaner is not in use, do not leave its plug in the power outlet
and disconnect it before any activity. More precisely, make sure that the
mains switch (1) is in position «0», remove the plug from the power outlet,
press the lever (9) on the cleaner gun to eliminate any remaining pressure
and bring the safety catch in its locked position (10) (Fig. B):
