when the water jet is discharged. Make

also holding the trigger gun and spray lance
firmly.

Spray lance with pressure regulation

tasks. The work pressure can be infinitely
regulated between "Min" and "Max".
 Release the lever on the trigger gun.
 Turn the spray lance to the desired po-
sition.
Note: Suitable for working with detergent;
for this, turn the spray lance to the "Mix" po-
sition.
Spray lance with Dirtblaster

Not suitable for use with detergents.
Caution
Car tyres, paint or sensitive surfaces such
as wood should not be cleaned with the dirt
blaster, as there is a risk of damage.
Working with detergent
Please use exclusively KÄRCHER deter-
gents and care products to carry out the re-
spective cleaning task, as these were
specifically developed for your appliance.
The use of other detergents and care prod-
ucts may lead to premature wear and can
invalidate your warranty claims. Please ob-
tain information at your local dealer or re-
quest information directly from KÄRCHER.
