English
If the appliance is used in hazardous areas
(e.g. filling stations) the corresponding safety
provisions must be observed.
Check the power cord with mains plug for
damage before every use. If the power cord
is damaged, please arrange immediately for
the exchange by an authorized customer
service or a skilled electrician.
High-pressure jets can be
dangerous if improperly
used. The jet must not be di-
rected at persons, animals,
live electrical equipment or at the appliance
itself.
The jet must not be directed at other persons
or directed by the user at him/herself to clean
clothing or footwear.
Never use the appliance to clean objects
containing hazardous substances (e.g. as-
bestos).
Vehicle tyres or tyre valves are susceptible to
damage from the high-pressure jet and may
burst. The first indication of this is a discol-
ouration of the tyre. Damaged vehicle tyres/
tyre valves are highly dangerous. Ensure
that a distance of at least 30 cm is observed
when cleaning with the jet!
Never draw in fluids containing solvents or
undiluted acids and solvents! This includes
petrol, paint thinner and heating oil. The
spray mist thus generated is highly inflam-
mable, explosive and poisonous. Do not use
acetone, undiluted acids and solvents as
they are aggressive towards the materials
from which the appliance is made.
Warning
Check the high-pressure hose for damage
before every use. Please arrange for the im-
mediate exchange of a damaged high-pres-
sure hose.
High-pressure hoses, fixtures and couplings
are important for the safety of the appliance.
Only use high-pressure hoses, fixtures and
couplings recommended by the manufacturer.
Do not use the appliance when there are oth-
er persons around unless they are also wear-
ing safety gear.
Unsuitable extension cables can be hazard-
ous. Only use extension cables outdoors
which have been approved for this purpose
and labelled with a sufficient cable cross sec-
tion:
1 - 10 m: 1,5 mm , 10 - 30 m: 2,5 mm
