6. Note the following when using extension
cords:
• Use only extension cords that are
intended for outdoor use.
• Use only extension cords with an elec-
trical rating equal to or higher than the
rating of the product.
• Do not use damaged extension cords.
• Examine extension cords before use and
replace if damaged.
• Do not abuse extension cords and do not
yank on cords to disconnect them.
• Keep cords away from heat and sharp
edges.
• Always disconnect the extension cord
from the receptacle before disconnecting
the product from the extension cord.
The electric supply connection shall be made
7.
by a qualified electrician and comply with IEC
60364-1. It is recommended that the electric
supply to this machine should include either
a residual current device that will interrupt the
supply if the leakage current to earth exceeds
30 mA for 30 ms or a device that will prove the
earth circuit.
Power tool use and care
Read all the instructions before using the
1.
product.
2. Know how to stop the high pressure washer
and bleed pressures quickly. Be thoroughly
familiar with the controls.
3. High pressure jets can be dangerous if mis-
used. The jet must not be directed at people,
live electrical equipment, or the machine itself.
4. This machine is not intended for use by per-
sons (including children) with reduced physi-
cal, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of
experience and knowledge.
Children should be supervised to ensure that
5.
they do not play with the appliance.
6. Do not spray flammable and/or toxic liquids.
This may cause an explosion, intoxication, or
damage to the machine.
7. Do not direct the jet against yourself or others
in order to clean clothes or foot-wear.
8. High-pressure hoses, fittings and couplings
are important for the safety of the machine.
Use only hoses, fittings and couplings recom-
mended by the manufacturer.
9. Follow the instructions when changing
accessories.
10. Keep handles dry, clean, and free of oil or
grease.
Stay alert – watch what you are doing.
11.
12. Do not operate the product when fatigued or
under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
13. Do not run the high pressure washer without
water for longer than one minute. It will dam-
age the motor, resulting in malfunction.
14. Always turn off the power and shut off the
water mains when leaving the high pressure
washer unattended.
15. Be wary of the kickback. The trigger gun
recoils when the high pressure jet is ejected
from the nozzle. Hold the trigger gun firmly to
prevent accidental injuries.
16. Check for damaged or worn parts before use.
Also make sure that the hose is properly con-
nected and there is no leakage during oper-
ation. Operating the machine with functional
defects may cause an accident.
17. This machine has been designed for use with
the cleaning agent supplied or recommended
by the manufacturer. The use of other cleaning
agents or chemicals may adversely affect the
safety of the machine.
18. Do not pull the cord and/or hose to move the
high pressure washer body. This will damage
the cord, hose, and connecting parts and
result in a short circuit or functional defects.
19. Do not put heavy objects on the hose or let
vehicles drive over it.
20. Always discharge the residual pressure in the
trigger gun before disconnecting the hose.
21. When connecting the hose to the water mains,
observe the instructions of your local water-
works department or company.
22. During use of high pressure cleaners, aerosols
may be formed. Inhalation of aerosols can be
hazardous to health.
23. Depending on the application, shielded noz-
zles can be used for high pressure cleaning,
which will reduce the emission of hydrous
aerosols dramatically. However, not all appli-
cations allow the use of such a device. If
shielded nozzles are not applicable for the pro-
tection against aerosols, a respiratory mask
of class FFP 2 or equivalent may be needed,
depending on the cleaning environment.
Service
1. Follow the maintenance instructions specified
in the manual.
2. To ensure machine safety, use only original
spare parts from the manufacturer or approved
by the manufacturer.
3. Have your high pressure washer serviced by
a qualified repair person using only identi-
cal replacement parts. This will ensure that
the safety of the high pressure washer is
maintained.
4. In case of breakdown or malfunction of the
high pressure washer, immediately switch it
off and remove the mains plug. Contact your
local dealer or service center.
