Safety instructions
Read this safety chapter and these origi-
nal instructions before using the device
for the first time. Act in accordance with
them. Keep the original instructions for future reference
or for future owners.
● In addition to the notes in the operating instructions,
you also need to take into consideration the general
safety regulations and accident prevention guide-
lines applicable by law.
● Warnings and information notices attached to the
device provide important information for hazard-free
operation.
Hazard levels
DANGER
● Indication of an imminent threat of danger that will
lead to severe injuries or even death.
WARNING
● Indication of a potentially dangerous situation that
may lead to severe injuries or even death.
CAUTION
● Indication of a potentially dangerous situation that
may lead to minor injuries.
ATTENTION
● Indication of a potentially dangerous situation that
may lead to damage to property.
Operation
DANGER
● Operation in explosive atmos-
pheres is prohibited. ● Never suction solvents, liquids
containing solvents or undiluted acids. This includes
e.g. petrol, paint thinner or heating oil. The spray mist is
highly flammable, explosive and poisonous. ● Dam-
aged wheels / tyre valves are extremely dangerous.
Damaged wheels / tyre valves can be damaged by the
high-pressure jet and explode. The first sign of this is
discolouration of the tyres. Keep a spray distance of at
least 30 cm when cleaning the wheels / tyre valves.
WARNING
● Do not use the device if people
without the proper protective clothing are in its reach.
● Do not aim the high-pressure jet at yourself, e.g. to
clean clothes or shoes. ● Do not direct the high-pressure
jet at persons, animals, live electrical equipment or at the
device itself. ● Do not spray any objects which contain
harmful substances (e.g. asbestos). ● Check the device
and the accessories, such as the high-pressure hose,
5
high-pressure gun and safety devices, to make sure they
6
are in proper safe and reliable condition before each op-
6 eration. Do not use the device if it is damaged. Replace
damaged components immediately. ● Only use high-
6
pressure hoses, control panels and couplings specified
6
by the manufacturer. ● Risk of scalding. When discon-
6
necting the supply or high-pressure hose, hot water can
7
leak out of the connections after operation.

CAUTION
7
lations, the appliance may never be used with the drink-
7
ing water network without a system separator. Ensure
7
that the connection to your house water system, with
8
which the high-pressure cleaner is operated, is
8
equipped with a system separator according to
8 EN 12729 type BA. ● Water that has flowed through a
system separator is no longer classified as drinkable.
9
● Never leave the device unsupervised while it is in op-
9
eration. ● Recoil force from the water stream emerging
9
at the high-pressure nozzle acts on the high-pressure
gun. Keep proper footing and hold the high-pressure
gun and spray lance firmly. ● Accidents or damage due
to the device falling over. Before all actions with or on
the device, you must make sure that it is stable.
ATTENTION
peratures below 0 °C.
CAUTION
and safety goggles to protect yourself from water or dirt
backsplash. ● Aerosols can be formed when using high-
pressure cleaners. Inhaling aerosols can be harmful for
your health. Depending on the application, the use of
fully shielded nozzles (e.g. surface cleaners) can signif-
icantly lower the emission of aqueous aerosols. De-
pending on the environment to be cleaned, wear a
suitable respiratory protective mask of class FFP 2 or
comparable to protect yourself from inhaling aerosols if
the use of a fully shielded nozzle is not possible.
Risk of electric shock
DANGER
vices to properly earthed power sources. ● Only connect
the device to alternating current. The voltage indicated on
the type plate must match the voltage of the power
source. ● Only operate the device via a fault current pro-
tection switch (maximum 30 mA). ● Never touch the
mains plug and socket with wet hands. ● The mains plug
and coupling of the extension cable must be water tight
and may not be placed in water. The coupling may not be
on the floor. Use cable drums to ensure that the sockets
are at least 60 mm above the floor. ● All live parts in the
work area must be protected against water jets.
WARNING
electrical connection which has been set up by a quali-
fied electrician as per IEC 60364-1. ● Check that the
mains connection cable with mains plug is undamaged
each time before using the device. To avoid any possi-
ble danger, a damaged mains connection cable must be
immediately replaced by the manufacturer, or the au-
thorised customer service department or a qualified
electrician. ● Do not damage the power supply and ex-
tension cable by running over it, crushing or yanking it
or similar. Protect the power supply cable from heat, oil
and sharp edges. ● Unsuitable electrical extension ca-
bles are dangerous. Only use approved and appropri-
