Stihl RE 90 Notice D'emploi page 16

English
– Never spray flammable or combustible
liquids.
– Never draw fluids into the pump that
contain solvents or undiluted acids (e.g.,
gasoline, heating oil, paint thinner or
acetone).
￭ Because of the high pressure and spray velocity, fluids
can penetrate the skin and cause fluid injection and/or
severe injury.
– Never direct the high-pressure jet toward
yourself or other persons, not even to
clean clothing or shoes.
– Do not direct the high-pressure jet
toward animals.
– Keep hands, feet and other parts of your
body away from the water jet at all times.
– Do not direct the high-pressure jet into places you
cannot see.
– Switch off the pressure washer, relieve system
pressure and lock the spray gun trigger before
changing or adjusting any spray nozzle or
accessory.
– If an accident does occur and the spray appears to
have penetrated the skin, seek emergency medical
care. Do not treat as a simple cut.
￭ To reduce the risk of property damage or serious personal
injury:
– Start work at the greatest effective distance from the
surface being cleaned. Do not move so close that
the surface is damaged by the force of the spray.
– Be especially careful when spraying softer materials
such as fabric.
– Use caution when directing spray toward fragile
materials such as glass. It could shatter.

5 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
￭ This pressure washer was designed for use with water
alone or with a detergent specifically designed and
approved for use with pressure washers. Use of

personal injury and damage the pressure washer and/or
the surface being cleaned.
– Always use the detergent in the dosage specified in
the detergent manufacturer's instructions for proper
preparation and dilution, as well as safe use and
disposal.
￭ Chemical detergents may contain harmful (toxic, caustic,
irritant), flammable or explosive substances. They are
potentially harmful and can cause skin and eye irritation,
chemical burns and other serious personal injury.
– Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
– In the event of accidental contact, immediately rinse
the contact area thoroughly with plenty of clean
water.
– If fluid gets into your eye(s): Do not rub. Rinse water
over the open eye(s) for at least 15 minutes and
seek medical attention.
￭ Running the pressure washer without water will cause the
pump to overheat, which may result in permanent
damage.
– Always connect and turn on the water supply to the
pump before starting the motor.
– Do not operate the pressure washer without water.
WARNING
￭ To reduce the risk of short-circuiting, fire and
electrocution:
