General Safety

WARNING: Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications
provided with this appliance. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term "appliance" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) appliance or battery-
operated (cordless) appliance.
1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate appliances in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust. Appliances create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating an appliance. Distractions can cause
you to lose control.
2) Electrical safety
a) Appliance plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) appliances. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets
will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges
and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the
appliance. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or
entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
d) When operating an appliance outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
e) If operating an appliance in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
3) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating an
appliance. Do not use an appliance while you are tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating appliances may result in
serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment
such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the OFF-position before connecting
to source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the appliance. Carrying appliances
with your finger on the switch or energising appliances that have the switch ON invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the appliance ON. A wrench or a key
left attached to a rotating part of the appliance may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control
of the appliance in unexpected situations.
f) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of appliances allow you to become
complacent and ignore appliance safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury
within a fraction of a second.
4) Appliance use and care
a) Do not force the appliance. Use the correct appliance for your application. The correct
appliance will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the appliance if the switch does not turn it ON and OFF. Any appliance that
cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the source and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable,
from the appliance before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing
appliances. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the appliance
accidentally.
d) Store idle appliances out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar
with the appliance or these instructions to operate the appliance. Appliances are dangerous
in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain appliances and accessories. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the appliance's operation.
If damaged, have the appliance repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained appliances.
f) Use the appliance, accessories and appliance bits, etc. in accordance with these
instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed.
Use of the appliance for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous
situation.
g) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery
handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the appliance in
unexpected situations.
5) Service
a) Have your appliance serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the appliance is maintained.
1400W Pressure Washer
Pressure Washer Safety
• Do not operate this appliance in the rain . Keep all electrical connections dry . Do not allow the
machine to become wet . Never allow water to enter ventilation holes
• Always connect a backflow preventer (also called a non-return valve) between pressure washer
and potable water mains to prevent a backflow contaminating your water supply. Alternatively,
connect the pressure washer to a water butt or other stored water supply
• Do not attempt to use this machine in temperatures below 0°C
• Always connect a 'continuous flow' clean water supply to the pressure washer. Running the
pressure washer dry, or with dirty water, will cause permanent damage to the pump
• Never connect the pressure washer to a hot water supply; this will cause the pump to
malfunction and could result in permanent damage
• Ensure that the water supply to the pressure washer is at a constant pressure . If the water supply
is 'shared' by another appliance (e.g. washing machine), ensure that the other appliance is
switched OFF
• The pressure washer should always be used in an upright position
• Be aware that the lance will produce a recoil force when the pressure washer is operated . Hold
the lance securely
• Never direct the water jet at people or animals . The water jet is extremely powerful, and can cause
serious injury. Do not direct the water jet towards the pump body, or other electrical equipment
• Handle the lance with care, do not allow the nozzle to strike the ground . Do not allow the hoses
to be twisted, crushed, or strained
• Do not attempt to pressure wash any material suspected to contain asbestos
• When using detergents with pressure washers or cleaning oil and grease from surfaces,
take responsibility for any contaminated waste water you may produce . Always consider the
environment and the risk of polluting streams and other watercourses, plus the possibility of
contaminants accumulating in the ground and soil . Try to use detergents sparingly—they are not
always necessary . Contact your local environmental agency for how to deal with such waste water
legally and responsibly
