English
– Never work with a damaged or malfunctioning
pressure washer. In case of doubt, have the
pressure washer checked by your authorized STIHL
servicing dealer.
■ If the pressure washer is damaged, not working properly,
has been left outdoors or exposed to rain, its components
may no longer function properly and safety devices may
be inoperative. To reduce the risk of personal injury and
property damage:
– Take the pressure washer to your authorized STIHL
servicing dealer to be checked before further
operation.
■ Genuine STIHL replacement parts are specifically
designed to match your pressure washer and meet safety
and performance requirements. Use of parts that are not
authorized or approved by STIHL may cause serious or
fatal injury or property damage.
– STIHL recommends that only identical STIHL
replacement parts be used.

Power Supply Cord
WARNING
■ Using a damaged power supply cord or plug may result in
fire, electric shock and other personal injury or property
damage. To reduce these risks:
– Check the pressure washer's power
supply cord or plug regularly for damage.
If it becomes damaged, disconnect the
pressure washer from the power supply.
Never use a damaged power supply cord
or plug.
– Do not abrade, crush, jerk, or otherwise abuse or
misuse the power supply cord. Protect it from heat,
oil and sharp edges.
– If the power supply cord becomes damaged, have it
replaced by an authorized STIHL servicing dealer
before use. A damaged power supply cord must be
replaced with an identical STIHL replacement part.

5 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
– Unplug the power supply cord when the pressure
washer is not in use.
– Never yank or jerk the power supply cord to
disconnect. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the power
supply cord.
– Make sure the power supply cord is positioned and
secured or marked so that it will not be stepped on,
tripped over, come in contact with sharp objects,
moving parts, or otherwise be subjected to damage
or stress.
– Connect to individual branch circuit only. An
individual branch circuit is an electric circuit
designed for powering a single electric device.
Running several devices on one electrical circuit
may lead to an overload and cause the circuit
breaker or fuse to trip.
■ This pressure washer is equipped with an integrated
Ground Fault Circuit Interruptor (GFCI). To reduce the risk
of electric shock:
– Never plug the power supply into a power strip or
extension cord.
– The pressure washer must be connected to a
properly grounded electrical outlet. Check with a
qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether
the outlet is properly grounded.
– Always test the built-in GFCI before using the
pressure washer. Never work with a malfunctioning
GFCI. For information on testing and resetting the
GFCI, see chapter @ 10.
■ This power tool has a polarized plug (one blade is wider
than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized electrical
outlet only one way. To reduce the risk of electric shock:
– Do not change the plug in any way.
– If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the
plug. If it still does not fit, use a different outlet or
contact a qualified electrician to install the proper
outlet.
