sols can be formed when using high-
pressure cleaners. Inhaling aerosols can
be harmful for your health. Depending on
the application, the use of fully shielded
nozzles (e.g. surface cleaners) can signifi-
cantly lower the emission of aqueous aero-
sols. Depending on the environment to be
cleaned, wear a suitable respiratory protec-
tive mask of class FFP 2 or comparable to
protect yourself from inhaling aerosols if the
use of a fully shielded nozzle is not possi-
ble.
