earth circuit.
Power tool use and care
1. Read all the instructions before using the
product.
2. Know how to stop the high pressure washer
and bleed pressures quickly. Be thoroughly
familiar with the controls.
3. High pressure jets can be dangerous if mis-
used. The jet must not be directed at people,
live electrical equipment, or the machine itself.
4. This machine is not intended for use by per-
sons (including children) with reduced physi-
cal, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of
experience and knowledge.
5. Children should be supervised to ensure that
they do not play with the appliance.
6. Do not spray flammable and/or toxic liquids.
This may cause an explosion, intoxication, or
damage to the machine.

the cord, hose, and connecting parts and
result in a short circuit or functional defects.
19. Do not put heavy objects on the hose or let
vehicles drive over it.
20. Always discharge the residual pressure in the
trigger gun before disconnecting the hose.
21. When connecting the hose to the water mains,
observe the instructions of your local water-
works department or company.
