￭ The water jet may detach asbestos fibers from surfaces.
Asbestos fibers may spread through the air after drying
and be breathed in. Breathing in asbestos fibers can be
harmful to health.

The oily water may enter the soil, the water system or the
drains. That would create an environmental hazard.

environmental hazard.
► Do not clean surfaces that are painted or lacquered with
leaded paint.

may be damaged.
► Do not clean sensitive surfaces with the rotary nozzle.
