During work
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.
Beware of slipping on ice, water, snow
or uneven ground!
34
Keep the high-pressure cleaner as far
away as possible from the object being
cleaned.
The machine may only be operated in an
upright position. Do not cover the
machine and ensure adequate motor
ventilation.
Do not direct the high-pressure jet
against animals.
Do not direct the high-pressure jet onto
places you cannot see.
Children, animals and bystanders must
remain at a distance.
Hazardous substances (such as
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 angled spray lance.

Ensure that the power 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 power cord with the
high-pressure jet.
If the machine is subjected to unusually
high loads 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. Consult a
servicing dealer if in doubt.
Before leaving the machine: Switch off
the machine – unplug the power cord.
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.
After finishing work
Switch off the
machine before leav-
ing it!
Unplug the power plug from the
–
socket
Disconnect water intake hose
–
between machine and water supply
