During operation
WARNING
Never draw in fluids containing
–
solvents or undiluted acids and
solvents (e. g., gasoline, heating oil,
paint thinner or acetone). These
substances damage the materials
used in the machine. The spray is
highly combustible, explosive and
poisonous.
The plug must be discon -
nected immediately if the
cord is damaged – dan -
ger of electrocution!
Never direct the high-
pressure jet or water
hose against the machine
itself or against other
electrical appliances and
equipment – danger of
short-circuiting!
Never direct the high-
pressure jet or water
hose against electrical
equipment, connections
and power cords – dan -
ger of short-circuiting!
Never direct the high-
pressure jet against your -
self or other people, not
even to clean clothing or
shoes – risk of injury!
Ensure you always have a firm and safe
footing.
The machine may only be operated in an
upright position.
RE 362, RE 362 PLUS, RE 462, RE 462 PLUS
Beware of slipping on ice, water, snow
or uneven ground!
Keep the high-pressure cleaner as far
away as possible from the object being
cleaned.
Do not cover the machine. Ensure
adequate motor ventilation.
Do not direct the high-pressure jet
toward animals.
Do not direct the high-pressure jet onto
places you cannot see.
Keep children, animals and bystanders
at a safe distance.
Hazardous substances (e. g. asbestos
or oil) must not be allowed to escape into
the environment unchecked when
working with the machine. The
applicable environmental regulations
must be observed without fail.
Surfaces of asbestos cement must
never be cleaned with a high-pressure
jet. Hazardous, breathable asbestos
fibers may be released in addition to the
dirt. The danger is greatest when the
washed surface has dried.
Delicate parts made of rubber, fabric or
similar materials must not be cleaned
with a pencil jet, e. g. from the rotary
nozzle. Maintain a sufficient distance
between the high-pressure hose and the
surface when cleaning to avoid any
damage to the surface being cleaned.
The trigger on the spray gun must move
easily and automatically return to its
starting position when released.
Hold the spray attachment firmly with
both hands in order safely to withstand
the kickback force and additional torque
produced when using spray
attachments with an angled spray lance.
Do not buckle or loop the high-pressure
hose.
Ensure that the connecting cord and the
high-pressure hose are not damaged by
being driven over, squashed or pulled;
protect them against heat and oil.
Do not touch the connecting cord with
the high-pressure jet.
If the machine is subjected to a strain for
which it was not designed (e. g., heavy
impact or a fall), always check that it is in
good condition before continuing work -
refer also to the chapter "Before starting
work". Also make certain that the safety
mechanisms are working properly.
Never continue using a machine that is
not in perfect working order. In case of
doubt, have the unit checked by your
servicing dealer.
Before leaving the machine unattended:
Switch off the machine – unplug the
power plug.
Safety equipment
When the safety equipment is activated,
excessive pressure is returned to the
intake side of the pump via a safety
valve. This safety feature has been set
by the manufacturer and must not be
adjusted.
