oil. The spray mist is highly inflamma-
ble, explosive and poisonous. Do not
use acetone, undiluted acids and sol-
vents, as they corrode the materials
used on the appliance.
 Keep packaging films away from chil-
dren, there is a risk of suffocation!
WARNING
 According to applicable regulations, the
appliance must never be used on the
drinking water net without a system
separator. Ensure that the connection
of your building water installation on
which the high-pressure cleaner is op-
erated is equipped with a system sepa-
rator pursuant to EN 12729 Type BA.
 Water that has flown through a system
separator is no longer classified as
drinking water.
 High-pressure hoses, fixtures and cou-
plings are important for the safety of the
appliance. Only use high-pressure hos-
es, fixtures and couplings recommend-
ed by the manufacturer.
 When disconnecting the supply or high
pressure hose, hot water may leak from
the connections after operation.
CAUTION
 Mind the weight of the appliance when
selecting the storage location and dur-
ing transport (see technical data) to pre-
vent accidents or injuries.
 Several hours of continuous use of the
appliance can lead to numbness in the
hands in rare cases.
 Wear gloves.
 Keep hands warm.
 Take breaks at regular intervals.
Safety Devices
CAUTION
 Safety installations serve the protection
of the user and may not be modified or
bypassed.
Power switch
The appliance switch prevents unintention-
al operation of the appliance.
Lock trigger gun
This lock locks the lever of the trigger gun
and prevents the inadvertent start of the ap-
pliance.
Overflow valve with pressure switch
If the lever on the trigger gun is released
the pressure switch turns off the pump, the
high pressure jet is stopped. If the lever is
pulled the pump is turned on again.
Symbols on the machine
The high pressure jet must not be
directed at persons, animals, live
electrical equipment or at the ap-
pliance itself.
Protect the appliance against frost.
The appliance must not be directly
connected to the public drinking
water network.
Personal protective equipment
CAUTION
 Wear protective clothing and safety
goggles to protect against splash back
containing water or dirt.
 During the use of high-pressure clean-
ers aerosols can develop. Inhaling aer-
osols can cause health damage.
– Depending on the application, com-
pletely shielded nozzles (e.g. surface
cleaner) that significantly reduce the
emission of aqueous aerosols can be
used for high-pressure cleaning.
– The use of such shielding is not possi-
ble with all applications.
– If the use of a completely shielded noz-
zle is not possible, a respirator of the
category FFP 2 or the like should be
used, depending on the environment to
be cleaned.
