4.7 Working
WARNING
■ In certain situations, the user may no longer
be able to concentrate on their work. This may
result in the user stumbling, falling and suffer‐
ing serious injury.
► Keep calm and plan your work.
► In poor light conditions and poor visibility:
Do not operate the high-pressure washer.
► Use the high-pressure washer on your own.
► Watch out for obstacles.
► Work standing on the ground and keep your
balance. If you have to work at a height:
Use a mobile elevating work platform or
secure scaffolding.
► If you start feeling fatigue: Take a break.
■ If the high-pressure washer starts behaving
differently or in an unusual way while operat‐
ing, the high-pressure washer may be in an
unsafe condition. This may result in serious
injury to people and damage to property.
► Stop working, unplug the mains plug from
the socket and consult a STIHL dealer.
► The high-pressure washer must always be
operated in an upright position.
► To ensure an adequate exchange of cool‐
ing air, do not cover the high-pressure
washer.
■ When the spray gun trigger is released, the
high-pressure pump switches off automatically
and water stops flowing out of the nozzle. The
0458-001-8721-B
high-pressure washer is then in stand-by
mode and is still switched on. If the spray gun
trigger is squeezed, the high-pressure pump
switches on again automatically and water
flows out of the nozzle. This may result in seri‐
ous injury to people and damage to property.
► When not operating the machine: Lock the
spray gun trigger.
► Switch off the high-pressure washer.
► Unplug the mains plug of the high-pressure
washer from the socket.
■ At temperatures below 0° C water can freeze
on the surface to be cleaned and in the com‐
ponents of the high-pressure washer. The
user may slip, fall and be seriously injured.
Damage to property may occur.
► Do not use the high-pressure washer at
temperatures below 0° C.
■ Pulling on the high-pressure hose, water hose
or connecting cable can cause the high-pres‐
sure washer to move and topple over. Dam‐
age to property may occur.
► Do not pull on the high-pressure hose,
water hose or connecting cable.
■ If the high-pressure washer is placed on a
sloping, uneven or soft surface it may move
and topple over. Damage to property may
occur.
► Place the high-pressure washer on a hori‐
zontal, flat, hard surface.
■ If working at a height, the high-pressure
washer or the spray attachment may fall to the
ground. This may result in serious injury to
people and damage to property.
► Use a lift bucket or secure scaffolding.
► Do not place the high-pressure washer in a
lift bucket or on scaffolding.
► If the high-pressure hose does not have
sufficient reach: Extend the high-pressure
hose by connecting a high-pressure hose
extension.
► Secure the spray attachment so that it can‐
not fall.
■ The water jet may detach asbestos fibers from
surfaces. Asbestos fibers may spread through
the air after drying and be breathed in. Breath‐
ing in asbestos fibers can be harmful to health.
► Do not clean surfaces containing asbestos.
■ The water jet may remove oil from vehicles or
machinery. The oily water may enter the soil,
the water system or the drains. That would
create an environmental hazard.
