Before starting the cleaner
DO READ OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE!
Before use, check that the machine is safe and in proper condition and in upright position on a plain and stable ground
to ensure stability.
WARNING!
Do not use the machine if important parts of the machine are damaged, e.g. safety devices, high pressure hoses , spray
handle or lance. Check the rated voltage of the machine before connecting it to the mains power supply.
WARNING!
Related to combustion engine powered machines. Do not use combustion engine powered machines indoors unless
adequate ventilation is assessed by national labour authorities. Ensure that any exhaust emissions are not in the vicini-
ty of air intakes. Incorrect fuels shall not be used as they may prove hazardous.
WARNING!
Before use of water jet, assure that the high pressure hose with the spray handle is safely connected by an audible click
to the lance. High-pressure water jets can be dangerous if misused. The jet must not be directed at persons, animals,
live electrical equipment or the cleaner itself. Do not direct the jet towards yourself or towards other persons in order to
clean clothes or footwear. Do not use the cleaner when other people without appropriate protective clothing are in the
working area. Wear appropriate protective clothing, safety gloves, boots, hearing aids and helmets with visor and eye
protection. When operating the spray 4 Original instruction handle, kickback forces are produced at the spraying device
and when the spray lance is held at an angle, a torque is also created. The spray handle and spray lance must therefore
be held firmly with both hands. Check that cleaning will not result in dangerous substances (e.g. asbestos, oil) being
washed off the object to be cleaned and harming the environment. During use of high pressure cleaners, aerosols may
be formed. Inhalation of aerosols can be hazardous to health. The employer shall perform a risk assessment in order to
specify the necessary protective measures regarding aerosols, depending on the surface to be cleaned and its environ-
ment. Respiratory masks of class FFP 2, an equivalent or higher are suitable for the protection against hydrous aero-
sols. This machine has been designed for use with the cleaning agent supplied or recommended by the manufacturer.
The use of other cleaning agents or chemicals may adversely affect the safety of the machine. Risk of explosion - do
not spray flammable liquids. Do not clean delicate parts made of rubber, fabric, etc. with the jet nozzle. Keep some
distance between the jet nozzle and surface in order to prevent the surface from damage. Do not operate belt-driven
units without attached belt cover. The machine must not be used in flammable or explosive environments. When using
the machine, it must stand at least 1 m from buildings, etc.
