• A Skilled Technician must check that the electrical supply complies with the data indicated on the identification
label (7) on the high pressure cleaner. It is especially important that the supply voltage does not differ more than
±5% from that indicated on the label.
• All connections to mains electricity must be carried out by a Qualified Eletrician according to IEC 364 regulations
or the equivalent standard in the country where the high pressure cleaner is to be used. It is especially important that
the current outlet where the high pressure cleaner is connected is provided with an earth conductor and a suitable
fuse (according to the size indicated on the identification label and in the table of technical specifications), and must
be protected by a magneto-thermal differential circuit breaker, whose sensitivity is not in excess of 30 mA.
• If the power supply cable is too short, an extension cord can be used provided it is not longer than 10 m/32.8
ft, the section of the wires is at least 1,5mm² and the plug and the socket are waterproof. Contact a Qualified
Eletrician so that all these requirements are followed.
The use of unsuitable extension cords can be dangerous.

• The high pressure cleaner must be used with care and attention. It is your responsibility to make sure that
any infrequent users have read these instructions and are acquainted with the operation of the water cleaner;
otherwise do not allow others to use the high pressure cleaner. Water cleaners must not be used by children or
by unauthorised personnel.
• Comply with the safety warnings in the operating and maintenance instructions of any optional accessories to be
used.
• Do not use the high pressure cleaner if:
- the power supply cable or other important parts such as the high pressure pipe, the safety devices, the cleaner
gun and the lance are damaged;
- the high pressure cleaner has been tipped over or has been bumped;
- there are obvious leaks of water.
In these circumstances, the water cleaner should be tested by a Skilled Technician.
• It is especially important to pay great attention when the high pressure cleaner is used in areas where there are
moving vehicles as these can crush or damage the power supply cable, the high pressure pipe, the cleaner gun
etc.
• During operation, never leave the water cleaner unattended and make sure it is out of children's reach. Pay particular
attention when using it in kindergartens, nursing homes and old people's homes, as unsupervised children, elderly people
and disabled people may be present in such places.
• Before using the water cleaner, make sure it is in a dry place and that it is in a flat and stable position in order
to avoid accidents and prevent it from falling over.
• Before moving the water cleaner, follow the instructions in the "Switching off" section.
• Before starting the water cleaner, put on clothing which guarantees adequate protection against the possibility
of incorrect manoeuvres of the jet of pressurised water. Do not operate the water cleaner near people unless they
are also wearing protective clothing.
• High-pressure jets of water can be dangerous if they are not used properly. Do not point the jet in the direction
of people, animals, and energized electrical appliances or towards the water cleaner itself.
• Hold the cleaner gun firmly during use: when operating the lever (26), the operator is subjected to the backlash of
the high pressure. The power of this recoil is indicated in the table of technical specifications (recoil is expressed
in N, where 1 N = 0.1 kg).
• Do not point the jet towards oneself or other people in order to clean off clothing or footwear.
• To protect the environment, vehicle engines and machinery with oil-pressure circuits must only be cleaned in
areas with a suitable oil trap.
• Vehicle tyres must be cleaned at a distance of at least 50 cm/19 in to safeguard them from being damaged by the
high-pressure jet. The first evidence of damage to a tyre is a change in colour.
