Electric components

Danger
 Never touch the mains plug and the
socket with wet hands.
 Check the power cord with mains plug
for damage prior to every use. Immedi-
ately have damaged power cord re-
placed by an authorised customer ser-
vice / electrician. Do not operate an ap-
pliance if the power cord is damaged.
 All current-conducting parts in the work-
ing area must be protected against jet
water.
 The mains plug and the coupling of an
extension cable must be watertight and
must never lie in water. Moreover, the
coupling may never lie on the ground.
The use of cable reels that ensure that
the sockets are at least 60 mm above
the ground is recommended.
 Make sure that the power cord or exten-
sion cable is not damaged by running
over, pinching, dragging or the like. Pro-
tect the power cords from heat, oil, and
sharp edges.
Warning
 The appliance may only be connected
to alternating current. The voltage must
correspond with the type plate of the
appliance.
 The appliance may only be connected
to an electric supply that has been in-
stalled by an electrician in accordance
with IEC 60364.
 Unsuitable electrical extension cables
can be hazardous. Only use electrical
extension cables outdoors which have
been approved and labelled for this pur-
pose and have an adequate cable
cross-section: 1 -10 m: 1.5 mm
10 - 30 m: 2.5 mm
 Always fully unreel the extension cable
from the cable drum.
 For safety reasons, we recommend that
you operate the appliance only via a re-
sidual current device (max. 30 mA).
Danger
 Check important components, such as
high-pressure hose, hand spray gun
and safety installations, for damage pri-
or to every operation. Immediately re-
place damaged components. Do not
operate appliance with damaged com-
ponents.
 The high-pressure jet must not be di-
rected at other persons or the user him-
/herself to clean clothing or footwear.
 Never use the appliance to clean ob-
jects containing hazardous substances
(e.g. asbestos).
 Vehicle tyres/tyre valves are suscepti-
ble to damage from the high-pressure
jet and may burst. The first indication for
this is a discolouration of the tyre.
