Safety Notes
Before start-up please read these instructions!
Before using the machine please read the operat-
ing instructions for your unit and comply in partic-
ular with these safety instructions.
The warning and information signs attached to the unit pro-
vide important information for safe operation.
Apart from the information in the operating instructions
comply with the general safety regulations and regulations
for the prevention of accidents.
Power Supply
Never direct the water jet at people, animals, the
unit or electric components.
s The voltage indicated on the rating plate must correspond to
the voltage of the power source.
s We recommend that this equipment is only connected into a
socket which is protected by a circuit-breaker that would be
actuated by a 30 mA residual current.
s Only use or replace power supply cables for this unit which
correspond to the types indicated by the manufacturer. See
the operating instructions for the order no. and types.
s If the plug is damaged, pay attention to the following:
s Plugs and sockets conforming to BS 4243 or BS 196 should
be used wherever practicable. Domestic pattern plugs to
BS 1363 are not recommended but if their use is essential
those which have barriers or moulded channels inside should
be selected so that if the earth continuity conductor is pulled
out of its terminal it is unlikely to be able to touch the phase
terminal of the fuse carrier. Domestic pattern plugs to BS 546
should not be used. The wiring of the plug should leave more
slack in the earth continuity conductor than in the other cores,
so that it is not the first core to be pulled out of its terminal
should the cord grip fail. Plugs which have good grips capa-
ble of maintaining a firm hold on the cable sheath should be
selected. In general, additional means should be provided to
relieve stress on cable terminations in the plug. For example,
additional cable clamps should be fitted or a substantial
chain could be used to tether the machine to a fixed point.
s Plugs and sockets situated near the work site or outdoors
should be to class IP 55 of BS 5490 to provide adequate pro-
tection against ingress of water, etc. and cable entries re-
quire effective sealing. Rubber shrouds should be provided
over cable glands. Drip-proof (class IP X2 of BS 5490) plugs
and sockets to BS 4343 are suitable for use indoors where
the plug is away from the water spray area where the appli-
ance is in use.
s Never touch the mains plug with wet hands.
s Do not run over, crush or pull the power supply cable or ex-
tension lead, otherwise it may be damaged. Protect the cable
from heat, oil and sharp edges.
s The extension lead must have a cross section in accordance
with the operating instructions and be protected against
splashed water. The connection must not be in water.
s When replacing couplings on the power supply cable or ex-
tension lead the spray water guard and mechanical stability
must remain intact.
Water connection
s Comply with the regulations of your water supply company.
s All connecting hoses must have properly sealed joints.
s The high-pressure hose must not be damaged (danger of
bursting). A damaged high-pressure hose must be replaced
immediately. Only use hoses and connections recom-
mended by the manufacturer.

Application
s Before use, check that the unit and operating equipment are
in perfect condition and are safe to operate. Do not use the
unit if it is not in perfect condition.
s Never draw in solvent-containing liquids, undiluted acids or
solvents! This includes petrol, paint thinners heating oil. The
sprayed vapour is highly flammable, explosive and toxic; also
acetone, undiluted acids and solvents as these corrode the
materials used on the unit.
s The appropriate safety regulations must be observed when
using the unit in dangerous area (e.g. petrol stations). It is for-
bidden to operate the unit in potentially explosive locations.
s The unit must be placed on solid base.
s Only use detergents recommended by the manufacturer and
comply with the application, disposal and warning instruc-
tions of the detergent manufacturers.
s All current-conducting components in the working area must
be protected against splashed water.
s The gun trigger must not be jammed in position during oper-
ation.
s Suitable protective clothing must be worn if necessary to pro-
tect against splashing from some parts.
s Vehicle tyres/tyre valves may only be cleaned from a mini-
mum distance of 30 cm, otherwise the vehicle tyre/tyre valve
could be damaged by the high-pressure jet. The first indica-
tion of this is a discoloration of the tyre. Damaged vehicle
tyres/tyre valves can be deadly dangerous.
s Materials containing asbestos and other materials which
contain substances which are hazardous to your health must
not be sprayed.
s Only use detergents which have been approved by the man-
ufacturer of the unit.
s Detergents must not be used undiluted. The products are
safe to use as they contain no acids, alkalis or substances
which are detrimental to the environment. We recommend
that the detergents are kept out of the reach of children. If de-
tergent comes into contact with the eyes wash immediately
with plenty of water and if swallowed contact a doctor imme-
diately.
Operation
s The operator must use the unit in accordance with the regu-
lations. He/she must take local conditions into account and
be aware of other people, especially children, when operat-
ing the unit.
s The unit may only be used by authorised persons who have
received training or have demonstrated their ability to oper-
ate the unit. The unit must not be operated by children or ju-
veniles (danger of accidents due to incorrect use of the unit).
s The unit must never be left unsupervised while the motor is
running.
s The water jet from the high-pressure nozzle produces a re-
coil on the gun. You should therefore hold the gun and spray
lance firmly.
Transport
s Switch off the motor and secure the unit before transporting.
Maintenance
s Switch off the unit prior to all cleaning and maintenance work
and before replacing components. Pull out the mains plug if
the unit is mains-operated.
s Repairs may only be carried out by authorised Bosch Service
Centres.
Accessories and spare parts
s Only use accessories and spare parts which have been ap-
proved by Bosch. Original accessories and spare parts guar-
antee that the unit can be operated safely and without any
breakdowns.
