High pressure may cause objects to rebound. If necessary
wear suitable personnel protective equipment such as
safety goggles.
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
indication of this is a discoloration of the tyre. Damaged
vehicle tyres/tyre valves can be extremely dangerous.
Materials containing asbestos and other materials which
contain substances which are hazardous to your health
must not be sprayed.
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
detergent comes into contact with the eyes, wash immedi-
ately with plenty of water and if swallowed contact a doctor
immediately.
Never use the pressure washer without the filter, a
dirty filter or a damaged filter. Using the pressure wash-
er without/damaged filter may invalidate the warranty.
If necessary wear personal protective equipment (PPE)
e. g. safety goggles, breathing protection etc to protect
against water, particles and/or aerosols sprayed back from
parts.
Metal parts may become hot after prolonged usage, if nec-
essary wear protective gloves.
Avoid high pressure washing in bad weather conditions es-
pecially when there is a risk of lightening.
